“Asco power switching and control components now form part of Vert Energy’s extensive range of electric power generation (EPG) products for generator set builders, panel builders and for numerous applications that require switching between different power sources,” says Vert Energy’s managing director, Grant Robertson. “Through Asco, we provide advanced solutions to handle the transfer of critical loads from a primary to a secondary or emergency source.

“These flexible components, designed for the protection of critical loads, significantly enhance Vert Energy’s specialist solutions service to diverse sectors, including data, financial and telecommunications centres, as well as process manufacturing, transportation, fire pump applications and healthcare facilities.
“In the event of an interruption to electrical power or a complete power failure, safety, financial loss, valuable information and convenience can be compromised. Mission-critical applications depend on reliable automatic power transfer switches (ATS) to ensure a seamless load transfer for continuous power. For this reason, we have extended our range to include Asco transfer switches and controls, along with Froment and Avtron load banks.
“Asco ATS’s conform to the stringent IEC60947-6-1 regulations which specify that transfers at full load, for both AC and DC currents, must be done seamlessly. This was a compelling factor for Vert Energy in selecting this range.”
Vert Energy is the exclusive representative in southern Africa for other premium electric power generation brands including, Leroy Somer alternators, DEIF generator controls and Covrad heat exchangers.
The company’s service to the electro-mechanical power generation sector also encompasses a repair and maintenance facility and it has made a substantial investment in skills training to ensure technicians are able to service and support products throughout the region. In addition, the company holds a comprehensive range of standard products and spare parts to support the local market.
