WEATHERPROOF OUTDOOR POWER SUPPLY
When specifying a weatherproof outdoor power supply, architects, developers, and electrical engineers must consider public safety as well as the ability to provide a safe and reliable power source, while also being able to withstand the elements and stand the test of time.
Traditional outdoor power sources e.g. petrol generators, are a common sight at various types of events such as town centre market days or university open days, however these aren’t always the most practical option.
A more practical and robust solution that specifiers are favouring in recent years is a range of retractable service units from Pop Up Power Supplies®. Our collection of outdoor power units includes pop up units, in ground units, and power bollards.
Versatile, discreet and retractable, the power units can either be raised from the ground and lowered back again when not in use, or can be operated while submerged in the ground with the lids locked.
OUTDOOR POWER UNITS THAT WITHSTAND THE ELEMENTS
Traditional petrol generators have been providing electricity for various outdoor events over many years.
Event organisers and stand owners at market days have used petrol generators as they offered an electrical supply for their stalls. However, the practicalities of these generators are somewhat limited. Not only that, but traditional petrol generators are not always fully weatherproof. Most petrol generators are designed for outdoor use but require additional protection from the elements to operate safely and reliably.
That is where our range of outdoor power units are preferred by specifiers, council planners, and event organisers, particularly for market days. Our Pop Up Power units provide a safe, secure power source for market stalls and can be raised and lowered easily with a detachable handle (supplied with purchase). They are easy to install into town squares or city centre locations and only require light excavation.
DURING MARKET DAY EVENTS, STALL OWNERS AND TRADERS SIMPLY RAISE THE POP UP POWER UNIT WHERE THEY HAVE ACCESS TO A RANGE OF POWER SOCKETS.
These range from 16A to 12 5A power supply in both single and three phase, all with RCBO protection. When the market event finishes, the power units are simply lowered back into the ground until the next event, where they blend seamlessly with the local environment.
We also supply In Ground Units which are also perfect for traditional market day events. The main advantage of these power units is the fact they can be operated with the lid locked down. This means they can provide a stable power supply to outdoor markets and stalls preventing any public access and reducing trip hazards. The power sockets are safely located within the high-grade mild steel structure, which is hot dip galvanised to BS EN: ISO1461.
Our retractable service power units have been installed in many town and city centres across the UK to power market stalls and events. Importantly, the Pop Up Power and In Ground Power Units are weatherproof. They are manufactured using corrosion-resistant materials such as cast iron and stainless steel (particularly the structures that house the socket configurations). Also, the units contain electrical equipment that has a rating of IP67.
SAFE, SECURE OUTDOOR EVENT POWER SUPPLY
Outdoor events can be varied in their application, of which require a safe and secure outdoor power supply:
MARKET DAYS IN TOWN CENTRES
FOOD STALLS IN SHOPPING CENTRE COMMUNAL AREAS
OUTDOOR AREAS NEXT TO MARINAS OR MOORINGS
FACILITIES WITHIN LEISURE SITES E.G. CARAVAN PARKS
OPEN DAYS IN UNIVERSITY CAMPUSES
SELECTED AREAS WITHIN HERITAGE SITES
MAINTENANCE FACILITIES FOR STADIUMS
Aesthetics and functionality are high up the list of priorities for specifiers when designing outdoor environments. However, public safety, sustainability or energy efficiency, and ongoing maintenance are also important factors when designing outdoor power systems for events.
