Selecting
a System
Selecting the size of the system
can turn into a complex task. The easiest way to select the system that
is right for you is to contact us. Our experienced
sales staff and\or local dealers will be able to help you select the correct
size system you will need to meet your requirements.
If you would like to try and
determine the system that is right for you, here are some questions you
will have to be able to answer.
1. With everything turned on
that you want to provide backup power for, what is the total wattage?
2. How long would you like to
support these loads in the event of a power outage?
To answer question #1 you will
have to add up all the power ratings of all the items you would like to
power. This total wattage is the continuous wattage that the system must
be rated to support. Please see the system specifications listed below
for this rating. IES and our dealers will have test equipment that will
be able to read the current in the electrical panel to ensure an accurate
reading on critical systems.
Answering question #2 leads us
to analyzing your load usage. Most loads only operate for a short duration
of time while others are on all the time. For example lights in an office
are on all the time, while a copier will consume its highest power when
making copies. In a residence the well pump might only be on for a total
of 6 minutes every hour.
Once we determine what your Backup
Electric System will support and for how long it is easy for us to determine
the system that is right for you.

IES Backup Electric
Systems come in a wide range of sizes to meet every power requirement.
We offer standard systems from 1,100 to 11,000 watts.
| Systems Model | Continuous Power | DC Input | AC Output |
| BES1100 | 1,100 watts | 12 volts | 120 volts |
| BES1400 | 1,400 watts | 12 volts | 120 volts |
| BES3500 | 3,500 watts | 48 volts | 120 volts |
| BES5000 | 5,000 watts | 48 volts | 120 volts |
| BES7000 | 7,000 watts | 48 volts | 120/240 volts |
| BES10000 | 10,000 watts | 48 volts | 120/240 volts |
| BES11000 | 11,000 watts | 48 volts | 120/240 volts |
Continuous power rating is the maximum amount of loads you can have turned on at any one time.
If a system has a 120 volt output and 240 volts is required for a well pump
we can add an optional step up transformer to your system.
