Critical System Protection

Nite & Day Power specializes in critical system protection for Bay Area businesses.

What Is Critical System Protection?

Critical system protection is a comprehensive approach to protecting your mission critical equipment and optimizing the electrical wiring that it relies on. Our electricians and battery backup power experts use a complete strategy that takes every element of your power system into account.

What Are Critical Systems?

Critical systems, also known as mission critical systems, are the systems a business relies on to provide its services. What qualifies as a critical system will vary from one company to another, but they have certain elements in common. Most importantly, they require constant up-time and “high quality” power.

Critical system downtime can cost companies thousands or even millions of dollars in lost opportunities. At the same time, critical systems need to have “high quality” power. High quality electricity is clean, providing power that can be visualized as a sine wave without messy peaks and valleys that damage equipment.

Examples of Critical Systems

The most basic critical systems are the building systems that your facility relies on. For example, every building has lighting and HVAC systems. HVAC can only be down for a short period of time before it represents an actual hazard to the public. Likewise, you can’t keep your business in operation while lighting is compromised.

Some other examples of critical systems include:

Critical Data Systems

Critical data systems are some of the most common to receive critical system protection. Server rooms benefit from critical protection to ensure a constant flow of power. Not only does this safeguard the hardware itself, but also the systems – such as cooling systems – that support the overall server room operation.

Critical Healthcare Systems

Hospitals often combine uninterruptible power supply (UPS) systems with backup generators to protect critical systems. Any type of equipment that provides necessary care to a patient can be considered critical healthcare systems. Organizations of all sizes, including single-practitioner offices, can benefit from critical system support.

Critical Infrastructure Systems

From industrial manufacturing facilities to public utilities, enterprises that others rely on can use critical system protection to pull through when it counts – even when weather conditions are against you. No matter what the season, you can be defended from wildfires, floods, and blackouts and enjoy redundancy in your power system.

Other Critical Systems in Business

Whatever industry you’re in, whatever customers you serve, critical system protection will ensure minimal disruption to your important work. Nite & Day Power’s professionals work with you to evaluate current and future needs, develop a plan, and implement it so you can move forward with confidence.

Critical System Protection from Nite & Day Power

Critical system protection can include multiple steps depending on your industry, equipment, and the age and size of your facility. Many engagements begin with a complete power analysis that will uncover weak points in your wiring and determine the best way to ensure your system remains reliable for years to come.

From there, a number of strategies can be used to mitigate or eliminate any risks and implement the right equipment for the job. That includes providing your electrical system with a number of redundancies and failsafes. The most important of these is an uninterruptible power supply (UPS).

An uninterruptible power supply (UPS) is a type of battery backup system that enables critical system protection by ensuring equipment can switch to dedicated battery power whenever service from the utility is interrupted. This modest investment can make the difference in preventing your worst case scenario.
