Generator Test
เป้าหมาย เพื่อเตรียมความพร้อมของระบบไฟฟ้าสำรองเมื่อเกิดภาวะฉุกเฉิน
Quarterly testing (ตามมาตรฐาน JCI), requirements are that the test run for 30 minutes and should achieve 30% of the nameplate load. The 30-minute time frame does not include the time it takes for the warm-up or cool-down period or meets the manufacturer’s recommended prime movers’ exhaust gas temperature.
If the hospital does not meet either the 30% of nameplate rating or the recommended exhaust gas temperature during any test by manufacturer then it must test the emergency generator once every 12 months using supplemental (dynamic or static) loads of 25% of nameplate rating for 30 minutes, followed by 50% of nameplate rating for 30 minutes, followed by 75% of nameplate rating for 60 minutes, for a total of 2 continuous hours.
At least once every 36 months, hospitals with a generator providing emergency power for life-safety and critical branches, test each emergency generator for a minimum of 4 continuous hours. The completion date of the tests is documented.
