AC and DC Generators utilize electromagnetic induction to generate electricity. In an AC Generator, the alternating current that is produced reverses direction periodically as the coil through which current flows is fixed.

Industrial emergency generators represent a sizable capital investment. If the emergency generator fails when called into action, it is almost always accompanied by potentially dangerous conditions and/or risk of significant financial loss.

Emergency power provisions have become a staple for many homeowners. It can easily make the difference between comfortably weathering the storm, or suffering many inconveniences.

The clean up for the Paradise California fire is underway.

During the clean up phase, there are 3,000+ workers that are living in base camps in the city. Our job at Power Plus? To provide electrical power and equipment for those base camps.

Whether you work at a school, hotel, hospital, retail store or construction site, your business needs a backup generator. If there is a power outage, there can be serious consequences for your business. It can even be life and death. That's why choosing the right backup generator and finding a power company to maintain it is an important decision.

For businesses like hospitals, schools, hotels, or fire stations, having a standby generator is essential in case of an emergency. With these organizations, losing power is not an option. However, just having a standby generator isn't good enough. You need to make sure that your commercial equipment is maintained and repaired on a regular basis, so it's all ready to go when power cuts out. Any failure to maintain this equipment can result in accidents, injuries and down time causing unforeseen significant expenses.

Your construction site needs temporary power. One of the first things you do is rent a portable generator. But now what? If you have a portable generator on your construction site, then you need to consider getting some accessories to make sure it runs correctly and efficiently. Today, you'll learn which generator accessories you must have for your construction site.

Finding a temporary power company for your construction site is a pain. Or is it? It turns out that if you make sure the temporary power company you work with has these 4 qualities, you can dramatically increase your efficiency. Today, you'll learn what those 4 qualities are and how a power company with those merits will be able to help your construction site.

One of the biggest tasks on your construction site is getting power. It's one of the first things you'll need to do, as you can't work without power to operate. There are two power solutions you could use: a generator or temporary power. But which way should you go? Below you'll learn about the differences between temporary power and generators, and which one you should use for your construction site.
