ESL’s Holiday Video

Whether it’s a group of friends, family, customers or vendors, Christmas caroling is still considered one of the most favored ways for people to get into the holiday spirit.

Hurricane Season: Keep Your Facility In-Service

Hurricane

According to the 2020 outlook released by NOAA’s Climate Prediction Center, the Atlantic hurricane season is predicted to be more active than usual. The 2020 NOAA outlook calls for:

  • 13 to 19 named storms
  • Six to 10 hurricanes
  • Three to six major hurricanes – one that is Category 3 or higher!

Prepare your business

When hurricanes, high winds and heavy rain form, business such as banks, gas stations and grocery stores may shut down for prolonged periods of time. When businesses close their doors due to natural disasters, owners can lose big, in both sales and reputation..

More recently, business owners are evaluating the overall cost impact of when their business loses power during an emergency, disaster, or inclement weather. They question is if they could continue to operate and be without power for 1hr, 12hr, 24hr, or even 3 days.

With this in mind, many of today’s business owners are opting to invest in their own backup power systems, doing all they can to keep their doors open when disaster strikes and grid power fails.

ESL’s knowledgeable Emergency Power Solutions team has been helping business owners determine what equipment is best for their facility and budget for over two decades. ESL offers multiple resources for determining what Emergency Power Connection equipment is right for your business. You can contact us, research our products online and read articles about how other customers have determined what’s right for them.

Portable Submarine Shore Power Hook-up Assemblies

Submarine Hook-up assemblies blog

For over 20 years, ESL has worked with the US Military worldwide to build custom engineered solutions for power distribution assemblies and ship-to-shore power applications.

The U.S. Military has been using Shore Power technology for decades. Sometimes referred to as cold-ironing, shore power enables ships to shut off their engines while in berth and plug into land-based power, thereby reducing on-board manpower requirements while in port.

ESL has manufactured 1600A 480V portable Submarine Hook-up assemblies designed to connect submarines to shore power while docked.  With Navy approved single pole 690A/600V receptacles, these assemblies serve as a safe connection/distribution point between the facility’s sub-station and the submarine shore power cable. ESL’s Submarine Hook-up assembly is built for compliance with NAVFAC E-SAFE PWBL-009 and 0010 480V Submarine Connect and Disconnect Operating Procedures.

Features include:

  • Internal common bus to minimize circuit imbalance
  • Overload and short circuit protection via 400A 480V circuit breakers (100% rated with shunt trip and aux contacts)
  • (8) 3 phase stainless-steel receptacle plates with 690A 600V rated 1-pole receptacles
  • Emergency stop buttons
  • Surge protection
  • Thermostat controlled dehumidistat/heaters

Constructed of sturdy and durable 12GA 304 stainless steel powder-coated (in compliance with IEEE C57.12.29 coating requirements), the Submarine Hook-up assembly is built to resist corrosion and abuse. Designed with the flexibility to move from one location to the next, this assembly comes with stainless steel pad eyes, steel I-beam base with forklift pockets and protective cage for enhanced portability. ESL’s 1600A 480V Submarine Hook-up assembly can be NRTL field labeled.

As a leading manufacturer of military shore power equipment, ESL strives to provide maximum utility in the smallest footprint possible. View ESL’s Shore Power Catalog for a sampling of ship-to shore products ESL has provided the US military.
