Spec'ing hospital electrical distribution systems

摘要

When specifying electrical distribution systems in hospitals, the engineer must account for the facility's size, flexibility needs, emergency power needs, and safety requirements. On the surface, the electrical distribution system of a hospital may look the same as that for other types of buildings-offices, hotels, etc.-but there are several important distinctions. These distinctions are not so much in the equipment used. Panelboards, switchboards, transformers, circuit breakers, and other products are all common to other types of projects.
