Commercial Generator Docking Stations

A docking station provides a fast, safe way to connect a portable or temporary generator to your building electrical system. Whether you need backup during primary generator maintenance or a permanent quick-connect solution, Powers Guaranteed designs and installs docking stations for commercial facilities across New England.

What Is a Docking Station?

• Quick-connect to power a building or facility with a temporary generator
• Provides redundancy to stationary standby generators
• Creates options for non-critical load services to be powered up
• Quick easy access for load bank testing
• Option for temporary generator to be quickly disconnected once utility power is restored

Why Do You Need a Docking Station?

Load Banking

Docking stations eliminate long and difficult connection points and reduce the amount of time a customer is without backup generator coverage during load bank testing. Without a docking station, connecting a load bank to your electrical system can be time-consuming and complicated, leaving your facility vulnerable while the test is being performed. A docking station streamlines the process so testing is faster and your backup protection gap is minimized.

Docking stations also help meet NEC Article 700.3(F) compliance requirements for emergency systems.

Portable Generator Connection

When your primary standby generator needs service or fails during an extended outage, a docking station lets you connect a portable unit quickly and safely -- no rewiring, no extended downtime. A docking station is available in the event you lose your primary permanent generator, available if you must service a permanent generator during an extended utility outage, and provides backup to the permanent generator during a load bank test.
