Site power without a generator

Site power no longer means a diesel set by default. Once you know connected load, simultaneity and shift length, a large share of the loads can run from storage — keeping a generator only for the remainder.

Three numbers decide, not gut feeling

  1. Count the loads that run at the same time — not everything standing on site. Simultaneity is the most common sizing error, and it usually lowers the required power considerably.
  2. Read the input rating from every rating plate and add them up. Not the figure in the brochure, but what the tool actually draws.
  3. Add 20 to 30 percent reserve. Motors, compressors and welding sets draw a multiple of their rated current when starting.
  4. Check whether any load requires 400 V three-phase. If so, that decides the configuration — not the size of the generator.

What storage carries — and what it does not

  1. Lighting, hand tools, extraction, chargers and electronics: the standard base of a site, which storage covers without limitation.
  2. Welding sets and compressors: feasible, but the starting current must be covered. This is where one unit often becomes two in parallel.
  3. Dewatering across days, winter heating, continuous operation: the case where a generator still makes sense — or a combination of both.

P-series parallel power systems

One modular platform. Add parallel units where the load grows — two or three units single-phase, or three units for 400 V three-phase.

Wiring

The parallel distribution unit carries one power input and one data input per battery unit, and a single output to the load.

    AC400V/10AThree 230 V P25 units in parallel make 400 V three-phase — all three required, or the system loses a phase.

How the parallel link is wired

  1. Each P25 runs one power cable and one data cable to its own input pair on the distribution unit.
  2. The distribution unit has three input pairs (L1 / L2 / L3); one pair per battery unit.
  3. Only the distribution unit output feeds the load. Battery units are never connected to the load directly.
  4. Each unit keeps its own protective device; no unit back-feeds another.

Three configurations, one platform

Start with a single unit and add parallel units only when the load demands it. Every configuration runs the same battery unit and the same distribution unit.

For dealers and rental fleets

  • OEM and ODM: we work with partners on these projects — from custom logo printing to adapted configurations.
  • For rental fleets the turnaround counts: no fuel station, no cold start, no downtime for refuelling.
  • Tell us loads, voltage and quantity — we confirm feasibility, required tooling and lead time.

What changes compared with a generator

  • No exhaust at the point of use: relevant in halls, tunnels, trenches and wherever occupational exposure limits would otherwise be exceeded.
  • No engine noise — the point at which night work and residential areas fail, not the price of electricity.
  • No refuelling, no oil change, no cold start in frost: the unit arrives charged and goes back charged.
  • Fanless cooling without vents — dust and grinding swarf cannot block anything.

Data sheet and dealer terms

Technical data, conformity and transport conditions are in the data sheet. Three details are enough for a sizing: the load list, the voltage, and how long the system must run without recharging.

Frequently asked questions

The questions buyers actually ask before a first order — answered with numbers from our own datasheets, not from a brochure.

Does one storage unit cover a whole site?

For lighting, hand tools, extraction and chargers usually yes. What decides is simultaneity: count what actually runs in parallel and add the input ratings — not the number of tools standing on site.

What about continuous load over days, such as dewatering?

Storage alone is not intended for that. Calculate the daily energy demand and the recharging option; if the two do not match, a generator or a combination remains the right choice.

Why plan 20 to 30 percent reserve?

Because motors, compressors and welding sets draw a multiple of their rated current when starting. Without reserve the system trips exactly at start-up — the most common reason for the feedback that a unit is too weak.

Can I expand later instead of buying bigger?

Yes, through parallel operation. A second unit is added instead of replacing the first; for rental that is the cheaper strategy because the base equipment stays in the fleet.
