Identify clinical priorities and transfer requirements before comparing equipment capacities.
Classify essential circuits
Clinical teams and electrical designers should identify life-safety, critical care, diagnostic and general loads. Their priorities determine the continuity strategy; the free calculator is only a preliminary load-list aid.
Check the full transition
Generators do not provide instant transfer by themselves. Sensitive or critical equipment may need a separate UPS and validated transfer design. Confirm the permitted interruption and the requirements applicable to the facility.
Prepare for real operating conditions
Discuss motor starting, medical cooling, fuel storage, ventilation, noise and planned maintenance. Commissioning should verify the specified sequences and responsibilities, without assuming a single generator provides redundancy.
What to include in your enquiry
- Essential-circuit schedule approved by the facility
- Maximum interruption time for each critical load
- Existing UPS and distribution details
- Documented commissioning and maintenance scope
