01

Challenge

A hospital's aging generator failed to start during outages, and theatre and ICU circuits shared supply with non-critical loads — an unacceptable risk to patient safety.

02

Approach

We segregated the electrical installation into critical, essential, and non-essential load groups, then designed an N+1 backup architecture with automatic transfer and online UPS coverage for life-safety circuits.

03

Engineering Solution

A new standby generator with automatic transfer switching restores essential power in seconds, while online UPS units bridge theatres and ICU without a millisecond of interruption. A preventive maintenance contract keeps the system test-verified monthly.

Technical Scope

  • Generator installation
  • ATS configuration
  • UPS systems
  • Preventive maintenance

Results

R1

Sub-10-second restoration of essential supply

R2

Zero-break power to theatres and intensive care

R3

Monthly black-start testing with logged results

R4

24/7 emergency response cover in place
