for Generator Systems NFPA 110 Levels 1 and 2 Standards
NFPA 110 stipulates several diferent site tests which should be referred to in order to ensure compliance. Tests can be made at unity power factor, if the 0.8 power factor rated load testing
Station service power requirements for combustion turbine and internal combustion engine generating plants are such that 208 or 480 volts will be used. 1.1.4 DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM. The primary distribution system with central in-house generation should be selected in accordance with the owner's requirements. 1.2.1 GENERAL.
Terminal voltage ratings for power plant generators depend on the size of the generators and their application. Generally, the larger the generator, the higher is the voltage. Generators for a power plant serving an installation will be in the range from 4160 volts to 13.8 kV to suit the size of the unit and primary distribution system voltage.
At every building housing a critical load, a single backup generator is hardwired directly to the building. For the highest priority critical loads, two stand-alone backup generators can be deployed to provide a backup to the backup and a higher degree of reliability. A microgrid is an alternative way to provide resilient power to a military base.
Emergency power shall be provided for emergency voice/alarm communication systems as required in Section 907.5.2.2.5. The system shall be capable of powering the required load for a duration of not less than 24 hours, as required in NFPA 72. [F] 2702.2.5 Exhaust systems.
