1. Power Outage
Insight Solution
Cost-effective and reliable solutions
for 24/7 access to safe electricity

2. Schneider Electric helps to keep you
from working in the dark
Hospitals demand consistent, highly
available power to ensure safe, efficient
and cost-effective operations. Even though
the electrical distribution systems for
critical power environments are complex
to install and maintain, your mandate is to
keep things running regardless of budget
constraints or an aging infrastructure.
Should a power failure occur, your facility
crew need to take swift and correct
actions to resolve the outage. In the
healthcare business, downtime is not just
an inconvenience. The cost of electrical
interruptions can be enormous, even fatal.
As the global specialist in energy
management, Schneider Electric offers the
only solution capable of providing energy
availability while addressing staff and cost
allocation constraints. Designed specifically
with small to mid-sized hospitals in mind,
the Power Outage Insight Solution acts as
a 24/7 in-house electrical expert. It monitors
your critical power availability, issues
warnings on power quality, schedules
predictive maintenance, and most
importantly, in case of a power failure,
it performs real-time diagnostics to quickly
identify the source of the problem for your
staff to restore normal operation.
Easy to install and operate, the unique
Schneider Electric solution provides the
optimum amount of information needed
for taking informed actions and proactive
decisions to:
Decrease operating expenditure
with “just-in-time” and “just-enough”
centralized information
Increase power availability with
predictive maintenance and shorter
mean time to repair
Improve overall safety with short-circuit
testers and wireless control units to
safeguard staff from electrical hazards
Lower insurance fees through real-time
diagnostic and scheduled maintenance
Protect your hospital’s reputation as
a reliable centre for uninterrupted
patient care
Safe. Simple.
Smart. Reliable.

The long-term control of your electrical network
for safety, ease-of-use, and traceability
A reliable electrical infrastructure is the
backbone for the smooth, long-term running
of any hospitals. The energy network should
be safe and easy to maintain, freeing your
staff to attend to the crucial tasks of quality
patient care. The power monitoring and
control features allow you to do just that.
Complex operations are simplified thanks
to Power Outage Insight Solution. Ideal for
new sites, it can also be easily integrated
into existing switchboards to coordinate
smoothly with power monitoring systems
already in place.
Power availability for new and existing sites
Step-by-step instruction guides you
through configuration setup, making the
process straightforward
Web-based interfaces and simple
processes to save time during
emergencies or normal operations
An integrated solution with no additional
software required
Short-circuit testers and wireless breaker
closing controls to protect your staff
when performing power restoration or
predictive maintenance
Safe and simple to configure and use
For the long run, whether it is an emergency
situation or routine operation, accurate
documentation of the system architecture
is vital for quick reactions and cost-optimal
decisions. Yet often times, changes
to the electrical connections or layouts
are not properly documented and
maintenance status.
The information database keeps track
of every change that happened to your
electrical distribution network, facilitating
you in:
Accessing updated reports
on repairs and maintenance
Recording changes to settings
and facility layout
Verifying selectivity or

4. With the combination of a few components,
the Power Outage Insight solution provides
the data you can act on for managing an
electrical crisis safely, and scheduling
predictive maintenance to prevent failures
that require switching to emergency
conditions and backup power.
For daily functions, our solution provides
real-time diagnosis, delivering vital
information on the condition of your
breakers and loads. In a single snapshot,
your personnel can see the number of trips
a breaker has endured, the load on each
breaker, and the mechanical endurance of
your equipment and maintenance status.
This level of visibility brings:
Maximum power availability by
preventing downtime with warnings
when network abnormalities arise
Increased power quality with orderly,
time-based maintenance
Traceability with records of repairs and
predictive maintenance, and relative
service life of each device
Ease of network expansion with accurate
documentation of the load tolerance of
each breaker
Cost savings from improved overall
system management
The clear picture for predictive maintenance,
power recovery and traceability
Simple and effective solutions
for maximizing critical power uptime
100 traceability of
events, repairs
and maintenance.

5. The command center of the Power
Outage Insight solution is the Power-E
box, a dedicated computer for real-
time load assessment, aging algorithms
and wear-parameters. Via a centralized
information dashboard, the Power-E box
helps you to accurately determine the
condition of your network, breakers and
protection equipment.
During a power outage, our unique solution:
Sends immediate SMS or email
notification to the facility personnel
Examines both the network and devices
to quickly locate the source of an
electrical fault
Provides concise and easy-to-follow
power restoration instructions
Facilitating power recovery Prioritizing personnel safety
Dependable insight for power availability
Our solution helps to protect staff against
electrical shock with the Short Circuit
Tester. It allows users to check the
presence of short circuits between
the downstream feeder and the load.
Designed for ease of use, your staff can
simply disconnect the loads, push a
button on the Short Circuit Tester and
within three seconds receive a colour-
coded signal that indicates if the short
circuit is still present.
Arc flash can destroy equipment, and
cause a fire and injury or death to anyone
standing nearby. Our solution comes
with a wireless breaker closing control to
shield personnel from arc flash dangers.
This wireless unit is specifically designed
for Masterpact breakers. Maintenance
personnel can safely close the Masterpact
breakers from up to 8 meters (26 feet).
Compact, light weight and with no batteries
to replace, it is always ready when you
need it.
Even when an electrical fault can be
repaired, safety of personnel remains vital.
