PowerBack Lite 15kVA / 150A Temporary Power Restoration Device

The PowerBack Lite 15kVA (150A) is the lighter, more agile evolution of the trusted PowerBack system.

Weighing just 91 lbs, the PB-Lite 15kVA features a low-center-of-gravity aluminum wheeled base that excels in snow, rough terrain, confined spaces, and residential backyards where heavier units struggle.

Why Crews Choose the PowerBack Lite 15kVA

Utility line crews asked for a lighter wheeled unit that could handle everyday residential and small commercial calls without the bulk of traditional service saver-style devices. The PB-Lite delivers exactly that:

• Ultra-Lightweight Mobility — At only 91 lbs, it is significantly lighter and more agile than standard wheeled competitors while still offering full 150A restoration capability.
• Superior Handling — Low center of gravity and aluminum construction make it easy to maneuver in snow, mud, tight spaces, and residential properties.
• Fast Deployment — Connects directly at the meter socket to restore balanced 240V power quickly and safely.
• Enhanced Safety — Non-metallic resin enclosure requires no grounding rod on most installs and is flame-rated for wet or hazardous environments. Built-in thermal sensors automatically trip breakers if overheating occurs.

Ideal Applications

• Residential single-family homes (up to 150A service)
• Small businesses and light commercial properties
• Standard field access where wheeled mobility is preferred over hand-carry modular units
• Storm response, underground cable faults, and routine maintenance calls
• Crews that want one-person portability without sacrificing capacity

PowerBack Lite vs Traditional Service Saver Devices

Unlike older, heavier Servisavor-style units, the PowerBack Lite uses advanced toroidal autotransformer technology to deliver comparable (or better) performance at a fraction of the weight. This means faster deployment, less crew fatigue, and better maneuverability in real-world field conditions.
