Backup Generator Test
Backup Generator Test
(OP)
I work in a facility that has a 750 kW backup generator. We have a startup/throwover test once a month. What are the industry standards concerning backup generators and frequency of the tests?
thanks in advance

For the USA and where NFPA is followed, NFPA 110 spells out requirements for testing emergency power systems and also for standby systems.
Health care facilties comply wiht NFPA 99 but I beleive its generator systems still have to comply with 110.

I believe NFPA 110 has a subsection on health care facilites.
