Distribution panels, automatic and manual transfer switches and the cable between them, for turnarounds, shops, construction sites and buildings across the Capital Region. Sized to the generator they run from and shipped from Red Deer.
Around Edmonton, temporary power is usually spread thin: across a plant laydown, a shop floor or a winter build. Getting it to each load safely is the job of the panels and switches.
When a plant near Fort Saskatchewan or Redwater goes down for maintenance, the contractor village goes up beside it: trailers, tool cribs, lighting and welding receptacles scattered over a large yard. Panels placed through the laydown turn one generator into dozens of short, protected circuits.
Generator rentals in Edmonton →A fabrication or oilfield service shop moving to a bigger building, or upgrading its service, still has welders and overhead cranes to run. A temporary supply through a panel keeps the floor working until the permanent connection is live.
Commercial generator rentals →Industrial buildings going up on the west side often have hoarding, heaters and site trailers drawing power long before the service is energised. The panel spreads the load so a single cold morning start doesn't trip everything at once.
Construction site power →Replacing switchgear or tying in a new service in an occupied building means coming off EPCOR for a booked window. A transfer switch and panel keep the essential loads up while the electricians work.
Emergency power distribution →This list is read from the inventory, so gear already out on a job does not appear. Open a card for its full ratings. Cable lengths come from your measured runs and are priced into the same quote; if the supply and the loads are at different voltages, a rental transformer sits between them.

There is no Edmonton branch. Every panel, switch and generator for a Capital Region job is loaded at the Red Deer yard and driven north.
On a plant site that distance is compounded by the gate. A truck that arrives without the right paperwork, or with a panel that does not suit the connection, can lose its slot as well as the day. So the drawings, the load list and the gate requirements are settled before loading, and the package goes out as one matched set.
After it is running, field service is on call 24/7 at (403) 887-4567.
Edmonton winters are long. Heaters and block heaters add load just when everything is starting at once, and cable that sits on frozen ground needs to be routed and protected where vehicles cross it. Include the heating loads on the list and mark the crossings on the site plan.
| Supply | What the panel hangs off: a rental generator, the site's own set, or a utility feed, with voltage, phase and breaker size. |
| Load list | Each trailer, heater, welder or building circuit, in amps or kW. Group them the way they sit on the site. |
| Site plan | A sketch or drawing with the generator location and the panels marked, and the cable runs measured between them. |
| Gate requirements | The orientation, safety registration and paperwork the plant or site needs before the delivery truck comes through. |
| Switching | Whether the load moves between supplies once, on a schedule, or automatically every time the utility drops. |
| Dates | Mobilisation, the outage window if there is one, and demobilisation. Turnaround dates set everything else. |
Only have the loads in kW? The amperage calculator turns them into amps at the usual site voltages, which is what the panels are sized on.
These are the places Edmonton-area distribution goes most. Anywhere else is quoted the same way: the site location, the loads and the dates.
No. NexSource Power works from one yard in Red Deer, about 150 km south on the QE2. Edmonton-area distribution is quoted, prepared and loaded there, together with the generator if the job needs one.
Yes. Turnaround laydowns are a common Edmonton-area request: several panels fed from one or more generators, spread across trailers, lighting and tool cribs. Send the site plan and the load list early. Turnaround season is when distribution gear is most in demand.
NexSource Power holds COR and ISNetworld registration, which many operators ask for before a contractor comes through the gate. Tell us the site's own requirements when you ask for a quote so the paperwork is ready before delivery.
If the load has to move to the generator by itself when the utility fails, choose the automatic switch, rated at 1,000 A. For a planned changeover with an electrician on site, the 400 A manual switch is often enough. The load and the way the site is run decide it.
The building owner or their electrical contractor books the outage with the site's utility. Inside Edmonton that is EPCOR. Connecting temporary distribution to a building service is permitted electrical work, done by the site's electrician or arranged with the package. Agree which before the quote is final.
Per job, with the generator and the delivery from Red Deer. Panel sizes, the number of circuits, cable length, switching and the rental term set the price. There is no published rate card, and the sizing advice is free.
Send the supply, the load list, the site plan and the dates. The written quote covers panels, switches, cable and the run north from Red Deer, and the generator if you need one.
