Hospital Generator Requirements
The basic requirements for hospital backup generators can be found in the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) Life Safety Code. Along with other information, this document lists the legal regulations & requirements for facilities that house patients on life-support systems. The most basic requirements for backup generators include:
- Maintain and test the circuitry
- Maintain the batteries
- Perform regular testing
- Hire and train qualified personnel to repair and maintain generators
- There are two main types of generators used for hospitals.
Natural Gas – A natural gas generator is very easy to maintain; however, many companies do not recognise that it is a generator for emergency service backup for lost power. This type of generator requires a lot of maintenance.
Diesel Fuelled Combustion Engine – A full tank of diesel fuel can maintain power for an entire hospital for about 8 hours. Depending on the size of the hospital and the amount of fuel stored on site, these types of generators can maintain power for at least 24 hours.
The most essential element to standards for hospital backup generators is response time. Patients on life support cannot afford a moment without the electricity necessary to power those machines. Currently, hospital standby power must activate within no greater than ten seconds. Furthermore, hospitals must store enough fuel on-site to keep generators running for a total of 96 hours, in case a power outage lasts for days.
