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 possibility 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.
By the end of this course, you will be able to:
State the basic purpose and function an automatic transfer switch (ATS)
List the steps necessary to transfer to emergency power
Recall NFPA 110 standard for frequency of testing for diesel emergency generators
Define wet stacking and load shedding
State the purpose of an annual load bank test
