What do you do when a power supply is sitting in a flood prone location? That was just part of the challenge set for Century Yuasa by a public service call centre.
QUICK OVERVIEW
What do you do when a power supply is sitting in a flood prone location? That was just part of the challenge set for Century Yuasa by a public service call centre. The call centre was expanding from three to seven desks and needed an upgrade to accommodate the change. Due to the nature of the business, it was vital to ensure no interruption to supply as the Century team installed a dual back-up battery system and uninterrupted power supply Custom (UPS).
Century takes safety very seriously, so the first thing our designers and engineers considered was the best location for the project. Unfortunately, the existing equipment room did not have any more useable space to allow the installation of a dual system. Since the property was quite prone to flooding, the system could not be placed on the ground floor of the building. Once a safe design was created for the chosen space, the dual system was successfully installed without any disruptions to the call centre operations.
In a facility where even a micro-outage can result in catastrophic data loss or equipment damage, the integration of premium ups systems australia wide provides the first line of defence, offering a seamless bridge to the back-up battery bank.
The client was most impressed with the ingenuity of the system’s new structure, the capabilities of the installed equipment and the workmanship of the Century team.

Providing 100% uptime for mission-critical infrastructure requires more than just high-quality hardware; it requires a deep understanding of load dynamics. Our comprehensive Industrial Power System Services cover everything from the initial site audit to the custom engineering of redundant DC strings.
THE PROJECT
Century Yuasa began the project with a complete site assessment, during which we determined the best location and solution to the customer’s challenges. In light of the flooding issue and limited space within the building, a prefabricated structure was mounted on 1-metre-high footings. Once installed, this allowed the dual system to continue to operate safely and uninterrupted at the lowest possible price for the call centre.
Whilst installation and cutover of the equipment was to take place, there could be no interruptions to the call centres system of operations. So installation and cutover of the equipment was achieved by wiring the system to the A&B distribution boards which were then directly wired to the individual desks. On a rotatory basis, each desk was systematically cutover to the new dual supply. During this process, the call centre was able to operate business as usual.
To ensure the facility could withstand prolonged grid instability, we implemented a tiered approach to backup. By deploying energy storage solutions, we provided the client with the discharge capacity needed to bridge the gap between a primary failure and secondary generator activation.
The success of this dual-layered approach is a testament to the importance of a Quality Power Installation. By adhering to strict Australian standards and using industrial-grade components, we’ve ensured the site remains operational regardless of grid stability.
Designing for redundancy requires more than just extra hardware; it requires a precision DC Power System Installation that ensures both primary and secondary back-up strings are balanced and ready to take the full load at a moment’s notice.
Century Yuasa’s bespoke assessment, design, engineering and installation experts ensure every project is completed to the highest standards of performance and safety. Our teams have the experience and knowledge to solve the most difficult problems, while our state-of-the-art products are always being improved-upon and upgraded so we can offer our customers the best results at competitive prices.
Installing a redundant system is the first step toward resilience, but long-term reliability depends on proactive oversight. Ongoing Power System Maintenance and Support ensures that both the primary and backup strings remain at peak health and ready to take the full load at a moment’s notice.
