Electrical Systems – Essential Electric System Alarm Annunciator
A remote annunciator that is storage battery powered is provided to operate
outside of the generating room in a location readily observed by operating
personnel. The annunciator is hard-wired to indicate alarm conditions of
the emergency power source. A centralized computer system (e.g.,
building information system) is not to be substituted for the alarm
annunciator.

Electrical Systems – Essential Electric System Maintenance and
Testing
The generator or other alternate power source and associated equipment is
capable of supplying service within 10 seconds. If the 10-second criterion is
not met during the monthly test, a process shall be provided to annually
confirm this capability for the life safety and critical branches. Maintenance
and testing of the generator and transfer switches are performed in
accordance with NFPA 110.
Generator sets are inspected weekly, exercised under load 30 minutes 12
times a year in 20-40 day intervals, and exercised once every 36 months for
4 continuous hours. Scheduled test under load conditions include a
complete simulated cold start and automatic or manual transfer of all EES
loads, and are conducted by competent personnel. Maintenance and
testing of stored energy power sources (Type 3 EES) are in accordance
with NFPA 111. Main and feeder circuit breakers are inspected annually,
and a program for periodically exercising the components is established
according to manufacturer requirements. Written records of maintenance
and testing are maintained and readily available. EES electrical panels and
circuits are marked and readily identifiable. Minimizing the possibility of
damage of the emergency power source is a design consideration for new
installations.
