Control Your Emergency Power System

摘要

Emergency power systems are vital, particularly in facilities where an interruption in power is unacceptable. From health care facilities to data centers to power plants, many facilities cannot tolerate a power loss for either economic or life safety reasons. Factors such as severe weather, grid disturbances and line switching, or even the influence of animals can disturb or disrupt the normal supply source. Regardless of the cause of the disturbance, the emergency power system must supply continuous electrical service to facility critical loads during a power outage.rnWhen the emergency power system fails to perform, it affects the facility's ability to perform its functions or missions, which may result in financial loss, compromisedrnsecurity, and/or life safety issues, even if the outage is for a short period of time. Too often, facility owners are caught in a situation where the emergency generator fails to start. The emergency loads fail to transfer to an alternate power supply source, causing unnecessary shutdown and restart of equipment, or a failed attempt to preserve critical loads.
