EMERGENCY GENERATOR SYSTEM

DESCRIPTION

Whatever the cause, lack of electricity at your facility can be devastating, whether you are at a hospital caring for the sick and injured, a treatment plant providing water for your community, a computer-oriented business with a world marketplace, or a manufacturing plant that simply can’t afford downtime. During this seminar, you will learn what you can do, and should do, to make sure your facility will keep running even if the electricity to your facility doesn’t.

OBJECTIVES

• Specific requirements and recommendations for the installation, operation and maintenance of onsite generation systems
