This webinar presents key information regarding emergency electric power. Providing emergency electric power is of critical importance for several types of facilities, and can be mandated by regulatory agencies. For example - emergency egress lighting, hospital emergency rooms, cooling for medical supplies storage, and protection from interruption of public utilities. Included in the webinar topics are emergency vs. standby systems, applicable codes, terms & definitions, system components, environmental considerations, and fuel systems.
Meeting requirements for emergency electrical systems is of critical importance for the safety of human life and protection of the environment. These systems also help in preventing significant economic losses and, in some cases, disastrous results from natural events. Technical personnel in the design, engineering, maintenance and operations areas of facilities will find this information extremely valuable.
