Bloomfield F.D.

Tower Generator recently completed installing a new generator at the firehouse.  This project required the removal of the old generator that was located in the basement of the building.  The new 30kw generator is located outside and it is fueled by natural gas.  We installed bollards to protect the generator as the sidewalk was the only thing between the parking lot and the generator. A new automatic transfer switch was also installed.  With this all-new power system Company 2 is ready for the next outage.

Where:

Bloomfield, Connecticut

What:

A Cummins C30N6 generator with an OTEC 225-amp transfer switch

Purpose:

To upgrade to a more reliable backup power system that will enable them to provide emergency services for their community even during future power outages
