The configuration of emergency generators is an important issue in the construction and use of commercial properties.

The role of an emergency generator is to provide the necessary electrical support to a building in the event of a power failure or inadequate power supply. This article will describe the prescribed standards for the configuration of emergency generators in commercial buildings.

Prescribed standards for the configuration of emergency generators in commercial buildings

1. Basic requirements for emergency generators

1.1 Scope of application

This standard applies to the configuration of emergency generators in commercial buildings, office buildings, shopping malls and other buildings.

1.2 Types of emergency generators

The emergency generator shall be a diesel generator set with a rated power of not less than 50% of the total load of the building.

1.3 Installation location of emergency generators

Emergency generators should be installed on the roof of the building or in the distribution room and be guaranteed to be stable, reliable and safe. 

2. Requirements for the configuration of emergency generators

2.1 Number of generator sets

For buildings with a total load of 1000kW or less, one emergency generator set should be installed.

For buildings with a total load of 1000kW or more, two or more emergency generator sets should be installed.

2.2 Standby capacity of emergency generator sets

The standby capacity of the emergency generator set should be no less than 30% of the total building load.

2.3 Standby time of emergency generator sets

The emergency generator set should be capable of supplying power for at least 12 hours and should have sufficient fuel reserves.

3. Maintenance and servicing requirements for emergency generators

3.1 Regular inspections

The emergency generator set should be regularly inspected and maintained to ensure that it is able to start and operate properly when required.

3.2 Spare parts stock

Emergency generator sets should be adequately stocked with spare parts so that they can be replaced in the event of a breakdown.

3.3 Maintenance by professionals

The maintenance and servicing of emergency generator sets should be carried out by professionals to ensure that they are in proper working order.

This paper introduces the prescribed standards for the configuration of emergency generators in commercial buildings, including the basic requirements for emergency generators, configuration requirements as well as maintenance and overhaul requirements.

During the construction and use of commercial buildings, these prescribed standards should be strictly followed for configuration and management to ensure that the building can function properly in the event of a power outage or inadequate power supply.
