Dark traffic signals increase crash risk by 2-3X and angle crashes can spike even higher. For DOT and municipal decision makers, power failure at traffic signals is not just an inconvenience.

With stainless steel construction, NEMA 3R rated, and designed to integrate with existing infrastructure the Signa Series lets you deploy backup power to traffic signals safely and rapidly, with zero backfeed risk to the utility.

When it comes to electrical products a knockoff isn't a deal, it's actually a major hazard that can cost your more in the long run.

We've encountered thousands of counterfeit and uncertified inlet boxes and transfer switches being sold on third party marketplaces. Many are cheap imports made with substandard materials that look the part but fall short where it counts. It's important to know that products without a recognized certification mark like UL or ETL may not be built to safety standards, increasing the risk of overheating and failure. They can also violate local building codes and give insurance companies grounds to deny claims after a fire.

Reliance Controls is proud to offer UL listed products, including our transfer switches and power inlet boxes. Safety is our priority in everything we do.

⚡ May is National Electrical Safety Month and the Electrical Safety Foundation International (ESFI) is leading the charge this May with four focus areas that we should all have on our radar:

- EV Charging Safety: EV installs are becoming a bigger part of the job. Know the safety considerations before you hook anything up.
- NRTL Certification & Avoiding Counterfeits: Counterfeit components are ending up on job sites. Protect your work and your customers by verifying what you install is certified by a Nationally Recognized Testing Laboratory.
- Qualified Workers & Industry Recruitment: It is more important than ever that qualified workers are equipped with the knowledge and tools they need to build out important electrical infrastructure, including data centers, energy storage systems, and EV chargers.
- Data Center Safety: High-density power environments demand a higher standard.

At Reliance Controls, we build products that you can trust on every job, from transfer switches to time switches and more, since 1909.

Meet your new "Robot Butler" for power outages, Reliance Controls' PowerBack Utility Power Return Alert. 🤖⚡

As one of our customers put it, the PowerBack is the simple, "screaming" solution that tells you exactly when the grid is restored.

Why it’s a game-changer:
- 100dB Alarm: You’ll hear it from the couch, the basement, or even over the sound of the TV.
- Magnetic Convenience: Just like the review says, it has a magnetic back to stick right to your breaker box door.
- Set & Forget: Battery-powered with a low-battery indicator so it’s always ready when the lights go out.

Stay prepared during power outages with this essential utility power alert system.

Spring cleaning isn't just for your gutters! Now is the time to audit your exterior outlets. Standard covers often fail when something is actually plugged in, leaving your connections vulnerable to the elements.

Our Spring Weatherproofing Essentials:
- In-Use Outlet Covers: These "Extra-Duty" covers stay sealed even while your cords are plugged in, preventing shorts during heavy downpours.
- Power Inlet Boxes: Rated NEMA 3R, these raintight boxes are the "front door" for your generator power, keeping the rain out while the lights stay on.
- Generator Power Cord: UL listed for outdoor use with excellent cold weather performance, these are designed to withstand tough outdoor conditions for reliable power transfer.

Don't let a spring storm catch you off guard- check out our website for more weatherproof options.

Most standard outlet covers only protect from rain when nothing is plugged in. But what about your holiday lights, power tools, or patio fans that're plugged in outside?

All our in-use covers are NEMA 3R Rated which means the high-impact polycarbonate won't crack in the sun or freeze in the winter. We built them with 16-in-1 configurations so one cover fits almost any outlet configuration (vertical or horizontal). With gasket and mounting hardware included, it's convenience paired with quality.

There is a difference between the outlet covers available to you. Reliance Controls’ in-use covers are built for real-world use, not just when the lid is closed.
