Hello to all.
My name is Daniel Montes and have a safety question.
We have one 800kW standby generator at our small hospital. A two hour annual load bank is needed and the gen technician stated that the standby will be isolated from the hospital. It would take him at least 30 minutes to reconnect the building if we suffered an area power outage.
It's a safety risk question, but I think it's unacceptable to conduct the load bank without the hospital having any backup power source.
In my opinion, a rental may be required to back up the hospital during the load bank.
Do you guys concur? Or is there a way the technician can wire the load bank where the gen can be switched back to the building quickly.
Daniel.
