I'm preparing a proposal for a nursing home that has an existing natural gas genset that is somewhat dated. The customer wants me to:
A: Install a temporary diesel genset to backup the existing gas genset
B: Order two new gensets, one gas, the other diesel
The customer wants the gas genset to come online first. If that fails, the diesel genset will need to come online. The existing genset feeds a 400amp 208volt 4wire transfer switch and a 60amp 208volt 4wire transfer switch.
My plan so far is to install a third ATS outside and connect the gas genset to the normal power lugs, the diesel genset will connect to the EM lugs and the load side will then feed the two existing transfer switches. There will be a fault relay installed in the gas genset to monitor a no-start condition and send a start signal to the diesel genset if need be.
Any problems with the way I'm building this project ?
