Porta-Safe® Temporary Power for Jobsites

Temporary and portable power for Nuclear and Fossil Plant Outages, Refinery Turnarounds and Shipyard Fabrication and Ship to Shore power requirements. Porta-Safe® units step down 600 / 480 VAC plant primary power and deliver GFCI-protected 240 / 208 / 120 VAC where the welding, lighting and tool loads actually are needed. Models include two- and four-wheel carts, skid with lift eyes and fork slots, or fixed and stationary designs. Each unit is custom built to your specification.

Where they go

  • Nuclear Temporary Power

    Refuel and uprate outages run on the critical path. Units built for nuclear sites carry the documentation, the GFCI protection and the ruggedness a plant QA department expects.

  • Shipyard and Ship-to-Shore Power

    Welding, grinding and tool power aboard ships under construction or repair — stackable, fork-slot units with decontactor-style arc-flash receptacles, UL Listed to UL 1640.

Fossil plant outages and refinery turnarounds use the same units; the nuclear and shipyard pages exist because those environments add requirements of their own.

Built to order, by the manufacturer
