A standby power system has one job: carry the load when utility power is gone. The CSA C282 standard exists because the industry has a track record of standby systems that fail when they are needed. Carleton Electric installs, tests, and commissions standby systems that pass real audits.
We size standby systems against the connected load (not the original design), install matching automatic transfer switches, commission to CSA C282, and document every test. UPS systems for critical loads integrate into the same scope.
- Standby generator supply and install
- Automatic transfer switch install and commissioning
- UPS install for critical loads
- Code compliance to CSA C282 and Ontario Electrical Safety Code
- Annual testing and runtime documentation
- Integration with existing maintenance contracts
Every high voltage job we take on starts with a written method of procedure, a single point of contact, and a Hydro Ottawa coordination plan. Switching plans are reviewed and our Hydro Ottawa coordination is locked in before the lift gate comes off the truck.
Switching plans are reviewed, hot work permits are in place, and arc flash boundaries are calculated before mobilisation. Live changeovers are rehearsed before the planned outage window.
If you are planning a medium voltage or high voltage project, send us the scope. We will respond with a sober assessment, a Hydro Ottawa coordination plan, and a real estimate.
