Are they powered by diesel engines?
There are at least four boxes in the photo, I suspect the two that are similar may be the controllers, the other boxes might be generators and maybe for backup only. Where they do use generators, I sure hope they are paying the road fuel taxes.
Can’t say I have ever noticed any generators there. It’s a V3 supercharger so maybe it’s storage as V3’s usually have some on-site power storage. The other cabinets are probably just inverter/converter trays. It’s a small mountain town nestled in the cascades in BC. Mining, snowmobiling, cross country sking. Nice little town.
I can’t say I have ever been to a Supercharger with a generator of any type. But then again. I have probably only been to 8 or 10 Superchargers soooooo. Maybe a dozen at most. V3’s are easy to tell from the older V2’s but the cabinets look similar although like I say some (maybe all, I don’t know) V3’s have on site power storage cabinets as well. No idea how much storage and how it’s used.
