Locked in the wilds of Cambrian in the heart of the Pennines, lies a wonderful fortified house dating back to the 7th Century. A Church and Abby added on as an extension in the 12th and 13th Century are all now resorted with loving care and historical deference. This country retreat used as a family holiday home and to entertain international clients, meant that no compromise on amenities could be tolerated.
Being remote, off the beaten track, mains power supply is far from stable.
Long pre-WW2 installed power lines roaming miles over hill and down dale results
in supply voltage dropping below normal levels. Dimming lights to half brilliance,
modern electrical appliances fail and computers to crash.
As is the norm for larger properties in this remote area, supply to these
building is fed via a 3 phase overhead power line having a transformer mounted
on top of a wooden pole some away up the hill in the middle of the woods.
Winds bending trees clashing live cables together resulting in ever more power
disruption making any semblance of normal modern living almost untenable.
Hence a stand by generator.
Finding us via our web site www.dsipower.co.uk, 'Gavin' asked us to visit, carry out a site survey and establish the most cost effective way of securing power to this awe inspiring collection of loving restored buildings.
Cut off by snow for days at a time the need to be self sufficient for many days was a real necessary. We recommended the ALP 22 home power station running from a bulk fuel tank that also served the heating system installed adjacent to the main building hidden from view by a restored 12th century outer wall of massive stone blocs that had once formed part of a large barn.
Now; Power Cut - No Problem - in less than 10 seconds the TopGen Automatic
Home Power system takes over supplying power - capable of sustaining a high
quality of life for weeks without attention.
