Did you know when standby/emergency generators fail to start during an actual emergency the very real possibility exists that lives could be lost, or businesses could lose? To achieve maximum system dependability, a scheduled series of inspections and tests must be performed. Due to the potentially life-affecting nature of being without power altogether, or the possibly of a system actually causing life-threatening conditions, several government agencies have established minimum requirements for inspecting and testing emergency standby generators. This interactive online course addresses ways to maximize reliability in standby power systems.
