Happy Friday all,
If you have to put a fire pump on generator then do you size the generator based on direct on line start for fire pump or use the starting method provided in controller? Remember that all the controllers are provided with emergency run mechanical control at the controller which is like a handle when turned to ON position bypasses the starting method and starts the motor across the line in case regular starting method fails. This is in NFPA 20.
