company PROFILE
Generator Interlock Technologies, LLC
Generator InterLock Technologies, LLC G
enerator InterLock Technologies, LLC, is a small based company that manufacturers and sells its products across the . The company was founded after Hurricane Isabel hit the east coast in 2003. The product was developed to meet the need for a safe way to use portable generators to power homes in the event of power loss. The initial inspiration for the product came from a persistent friend of an electrician working for Master Electrical Services. As electrical contractors, they had seen various unsafe and illegal methods that people had used to try to power their houses with their portable generators. The electrician set out to develop a product that would meet National Electrical Code requirements and at the same time be cost effective and convenient for the homeowner. From that original inspiration came a new company: Generator Interlock Technologies or GIT. The Interlock Kit is a simple safety product that locks out the Main breaker in the existing home panel and allows for the portable generator to power the home through a back feed generator breaker. While many electrical inspectors liked the product; they all agreed that the product would have to be listed to UL standards. After thousands of dollars in fees, rigorous tests, a year of changes and modifications, the Interlock Kit was finally
approved for production to be used with panels listed under UL Standard 67. The company started filling orders in early 2005, using Master Electrical Services as its basis for customer awareness. Starting with a few kits that fit the most recent Square-D and Cutler Hammer panels, the offerings grew to over 30 different models in less than one year. Generator Interlock Technologies now has kits for panels from 30 years ago to the most current and they continue to add new kits to meet their customer’s needs. While contractors in Florida and the North East are the biggest customers, Interlock Kits have been sent throughout the United States and parts of Canada. Whether the power loss is due to costal hurricanes or from crippling ice storms in the northern , GIT has a kit that will allow customers to keep the power on in their homes. The Interlock Kits are designed to be installed by licensed electricians and are cost effective for both the customer and the installer. Other products on the market such as generator sub-panels and transfer switches require extensive rewiring of the home panel, often taking the electrical contractor 6 to 8 hours to install. With the Interlock Kit, a qualified electrician can install a complete system in 2 hours or less by simply mounting the correct kit to the face of the panel and wiring a generator convenience outlet to a

breaker installed in the panel. To use their portable generator, a homeowner plugs an extension cord from their generator to the new generator convenience outlet. He then starts the generator, turns off the main breaker, slides the Interlock Kit, turns on the generator breaker and selects the circuits for use up to the capacity of the generator. Generator Interlock Technologies’ Kit is a defining safety product that has been recognized as a Innovation Award Winner by Electrical Contracting Products magazine and one of the Top Products by Electrical Products and Solutions magazine. Generator Interlock Technologies, LLC, has taken a problem of safety and convenience and developed a system to keep danger and expenses to a minimum. Starting with an idea of helping a friend in need, to helping thousands across the country, GIT continues to grow due to its commitment to deliver a quality product.

Net Zero USA
Net Zero USA
L IG H TIN G SO L U TIO N S N et Zero USA was created under the parent company, Solar Energy USA, to assist businesses in reducing their fixed operating costs through energy reduction. While Solar Energy USA went to market using solar arrays to create energy for the consumer, Net Zero USA was created to reduce energy consumption in tandem with solar.

ergy reduction solutions. We provide these solutions for major manufacturing and warehousing, as well as commercial, industrial, institutional, government, and military facilities. “In today’s industrial and commercial business environment, operating costs usually determine the health and viability of a company. The bottom line is affected by labor, material, and power costs. Historically, low energy prices and lack of foreign competition have enabled American industry to flourish with little resistance. Today, however, is a very different arena for American businesses. Labor and material costs are constantly scrutinized to the penny to ensure the profitability and success of a company. The cost to create and deliver energy has caused power prices to rise at an unprecedented rate and has become a major factor in decreasing a business’s profit margins. Net Zero USA exists to serve our customers in understanding, controlling, and improving power consumption and inefficiencies.” Quote from
Electrical Products & Solutions • April 2016
Net Zero USA President, Perry Bell. What we’ve learned through our successes and experiences is that there is not just one lighting technology or solution that is perfect for all applications. Energy efficiency has become an economic model and energy efficient lighting conversion is an economic sale, characterized as the “low hanging fruit.” This really is the most cost effective solution for most businesses to realize substantial and immediate savings that go directly back to their bottom line. “Our target licensee or business partner is an existing lighting, electrical, commercial contractor or solar company that needs to improve their existing model for themselves and for their customers. We have a comprehensive product line and support mechanism that is second to none.” Says Brian Lawrence, VP of Business Development.

was created in 1991 in Golden Valley, MN by James D. Miller. Jim was a Chicago Lighting Rep who invested in a small HID ballast manufacturing company. He was searching for a means to break into the aftermarket for HID Ballast Replacement Kits and was frustrated by the traditional Electrical Distributor Network that was dominated by the major manufacturers. He saw how successful the “Direct to Contractor” model was for some fixture manufacturers. Why not give it a try with components? Thus, Northwest Lighting was born. For 25 years, Northwest Lighting has provided HID Ballast Replacement Kits directly to contractors, property managers, distributors and select national accounts at significant saving over the local electrical supply house. Their large stock of both high and low volume models results in 95% of all orders shipping the same day. Contractors have come to realize that waiting for their local distributor to get a 480v ballast or a F-Can ballast in from the factory makes no sense when Northwest

In fact, about 35% of our sales are to distributors who call us instead of the factory because they know that “Northwest Lighting has it in stock”. In 1999 Jim Miller passed away and the company was bought by two of his longtime employees, John Hannasch and Kevin Eagan. They quickly expanded the company by opening a sales office and warehouse in New Hampshire as well as a warehouse in Texas. The headquarters moved to Burnsville, MN in 2012 and there is a warehouse in Coon Rapids, MN. John and Kevin also expanded the product offering tremendously. Today, Northwest Lighting is a Full Service Lighting Distributor. They carry several lines of ballasts and LED drivers for all applications. They also have a huge inventory of LED lamps and fixtures, as well as HID and fluorescent lamps. They have developed retrofit kits to convert traditional fixtures to the new LED technologies. Their two and four lamp LED Combo kits are converting 8’ fluorescent strip fixtures to LED all over the country. Many customers now want to buy the

Northwest Lighting also specializes in sourcing hard-to-find lamps and ballasts. Their numerous contacts throughout the lighting industry allow them to find that difficult part in less time than it would take for you to search for it. Call them with your next sourcing challenge and save yourself the headaches. Northwest Lighting customers can now order online through the main web site at www.nwlighting.net or directly at www.nwlightingstore.com.

Conduit Repair Systems, Inc.
Conduit Repair Systems, Inc. T he old saying, “necessity is the mother of all inventions” holds true for Conduit Repair Systems, Inc. Our split conduit products were originally designed and developed by a cable TV technician and his father in-law that worked as an engineer. The technician found that he needed a repair product that truly restored damaged PVC pipe to its original state. The technician did some research and found that what he needed didn’t exist at the time. The two men then developed our patented snap together split conduit products. Since the early days of the company, many additional applications for the products have since been discovered including enclosing exposed cables, relocating aerial lines to underground, enclosing cables on bridges, protecting cables on telephone poles, enclosing fiber optics, and relocating cables along roads.
