Kenley Tamoto started AWAL in 1992 as a Manufacturer's Representative firm focused on the industrial electric market. AWAL's focus initially was on transformer applications which mainly involved sub-stations and the straight transformation of voltage. Today AWAL offers a family of products that also addresses voltage quality and emergency back up power systems that offers clean power during outages.Computer and automation loads in buildings today have placed a challenge on old technology style transformers. The application and loads have changed therefore new approaches to the application of transformers had to be addressed. This fact accompanied with the constant pressure of reducing costs through electrical consumption has brought AWAL into marketing engineered high efficiency and harmonic mitigation transformer systems. These systems are designed to offer a clean electrical environment so systems involving computers and automation loads can operate properly. They also offer tremendous operating cost savings over a standard transformer application. This philosophy of offering energy saving products and systems is reflected in our entire product offering.Arbutus West offers:- Power distribution systems- Dry type power and distribution transformers (local stock is available) - Oil filled transformers- HV/LV Arc Resistant switchgear- GIS Switchgear up to 38 kv- Arc Resistand MCC's- MCC, Ehouse's, ISO Phase Bus- Power quality products and solutions- Capacitor Banks and Harmonic Filters- Load Banks and Fuel Supply Systems (Rentals and Sales) - Premium quality systems for mission critical applications- Heat pump technology- OEM component supply- High current carrying feeder systems (cable buss)- Isolated phase bus- Voltage regulation- Custom Cable & Power Solutions - Power System Engineering- Engineered Solutions
