Should I have an Optional Branch for my hospital to generator back up the Kitchen and all normal lighting, rather than putting it on the LS, Critical, or Equipment branch? Or can it go on the Equipment branch?
I have a client who wants to back up the entire facility, on top of the typical Life Safety, Critical, and Equipment branches.
We're talking about kitchen loads, common receptacles for entertainment rooms, all lighting (rather than just the EM lighting).
Should all of these nonessential loads be on a fourth branch of the emergency system, the 'Optional' branch, or can all of these loads go on the least-important 'Equipment' branch of the emergency system?
