A steady, dependable supply of electricity is crucial to any business operation, whether it runs on expensive, specialised machinery or a computer generating invoices. Disruptions cost your business time and money, so your electrical design should accommodate the configuration of your machinery to minimise the possibility of human error, machine interference or susceptibility to external factors. Of course, while some disruptions are simply unavoidable, many occur through a failure of imagination.

Technological advances in design and the quality of components have made the constant breakdowns we used to consider inevitable a thing of the past. The perpetual hum of your equipment can lull you into a false sense of security, but the more sophisticated the design of your machines, the more catastrophic the breakdown will be when it strikes. This makes regular, preventative maintenance of your building systems and machinery vital.
