Alpha Technologies expanded its PWE line of cable power system enclosures to include the new Generator Expansion Module. Designed to house an AlphaGen ACX2000 generator, the Generator Expansion Module allows for advanced planning, or quick response to, extended power outages.
“For extended outages, generators represent a highly cost effective method to increase cable network power supply runtimes,” said Mike Haass, Broadband Power Product Manager for Alpha, “and Alpha’s Generator Expansion Module eliminates many of the headaches associated with temporarily deploying and safeguarding expensive generators.”
Because the Generator Expansion Module is built to the same exacting specifications Alpha is famous for, the generator is protected from weather, as well as theft. Since the generators are safe, mounted to the permanent power system enclosure, maintenance crews can retrieve the generators as needed after power is restored.
Using two rails to securely attach to the bottom of existing Alpha PWE-3 and PWE-6 enclosures, the Generator Expansion Module is fully backwards compatible and field installable.
