ESL Business Energy Switchgear Article — ESL was featured in a recent edition of Business Energy Magazine

ESL was recently featured in Business Energy Magazine. “Switchgear: Matters of Safety and Space” addressed the various concerns of businesses as they work to ensure that their electrical equipment is as safe as possible.

The article highlighted some of the benefits of using ESL’s TripleSwitch as an emergency backup power solution. Many times, during emergencies, a qualified electrician will not be available, as they struggle to meet the increased need that inevitably follows a crisis. “In place of using lug nuts to pinch raw wire endings, ESL provides cam-style connectors that resemble microphone cords. This lets workers pop connections in and out without cranking lug nuts or fraying wire ends,” which means that anyone can safely operate the unit.
