Emergency Generator Redundancy
In regards to generator power, does anyone have a redundancy for their generator? If the existing unit failed or was out of service could you hook up a portable unit, an exterior connection?
No redundancy here, in fact there were chuckles from some administrators ...a backup to the backup? This past year we replaced our Emerg. Generator, costs and space prohibited us to do a redundant system... we purchased a new 600 KW Cat, and as part of the project we incorporated a terminal block which allows for an easy portable generator hook up...new is nice!!
