How do hospital backup generators work?

In the event of a mains failure, a standby generator will kick in to support the full load of your site.

Using an automatic transfer switch, they can be set up to automatically kick in when an outage is detected. For hospitals this is particularly vital, for maintaining power to life support systems, operating rooms and A&E departments.

An emergency generator coupled with a reliable Uninterruptible Power System (UPS) can be crucial for guaranteeing ongoing power even in an unplanned or unexpected outage.

Reviews summary

"I wanted to say a big thank you for the way my generator was installed by one of your engineers. It was done extremely professional and quickly. The engineer projected a tremendous sense of enthusiasm and confidence – and his small-talk is also most interesting to hear. I was left in awe of his complete understanding of the installation requirements. He even management to iron out a difference on the auto start that the manufacturer did not tell him about. A very clean and good working in all respects, he is a tribute to your company"
