to serve loads such as heating, refrigeration systems, and
communication systems that, when stopped during any
power outage, could cause discomfort or inconvenience.

emergency standby or legally required standby system as
defined by NFPA 70 (NEC).
• Emergency generator systems are intended to
automatically supply illumination, power, or both, to
designated areas and equipment in the event of failure

intended to automatically supply power to selected
loads in the event of failure of the normal source
which could create hazards or hamper rescue or fire-
fighting operations.
