On a modern farm, electricity does more than just provide light. Milking robots, ventilation drives, grain dryers, manure pumps — every startup and shutdown creates a voltage spike that travels through the entire building. Rural farms are often more vulnerable to voltage fluctuations and lightning strikes due to their distance from the main power grid.
A surge can damage essential automated equipment — milking, cooling, ventilation — leading to costly repairs and downtime, and can compromise herd welfare when ventilation or feeding systems stop working. It also increases the risk of fire, a serious danger to buildings, staff, and livestock.
Thanks to its MOVs encapsulated in Power Pressure™ technology, Armada effectively dissipates the heat generated by a surge, allowing the main breaker to detect the excess and disconnect safely. A functional, protected automatic transfer switch (ATS) is essential — without it, even a working generator can’t take over during an outage.
