From site design and consultation, to generator supply and complete turnkey installation, it offers premium after­sales services for maintenance and 24/7 breakdown assistance.

hospitals, office buildings, industrial units, production plants, printing companies, data centres, brewing and baking companies. The company has even supplied multiple


Premier league football stadiums. Ingrams Installations, however, is best


known for its life-saving work with numerous hospitals nationwide. In the North West of England alone it has installed and maintained various hospitals within The Central Manchester University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust. These include hospitals such as The Manchester Royal Infirmary (MRI) and The Royal Manchester Children's Hospital. Together these two are the only hospitals in


the region which undertake kidney transplantation and in 2008 the MRI celebrated 4000 transplants over 40 years of

radiotherapy. Mid-December 2017 proved to be a busy


time for Ingram’s engineers - they were called out to monitor and supervise three 1900kVA generators from early in the morning until late the following night. This was immediately followed by an emergency callout at another site. This resulted in another all-night callout for the team. The emergency callout was at a North


West hospital, where an DNO incomer breaker had failed, and the facilities were running purely on standby power. The DNO breaker (sometimes known as


panel board, breaker panel, or electric panel) is a component of an electricity supply system which divides an electrical power feed into subsidiary circuits, while providing a protective fuse or circuit breaker for each circuit in a common enclosure. As a necessity, the hospital needed another form of backup power, and with the mains failing due to its own breakers, engineers from Ingram’s worked through the night installing and monitoring a hire set, to make sure the hospital could be assured its power supply was secure.
