Test monthly under load for 30 minutes minimum. Test ATS transfer time — must be within 10 seconds. Annual 4-hour load bank test. Coordinate with clinical staff before testing to avoid disruption.
A monthly maintenance and testing checklist for hospital facilities engineers responsible for the emergency power supply system. Covers generator visual inspection and fluid levels, battery condition, cooling system, fuel quality and level, automatic transfer switch testing, monthly load testing per regulatory requirements, and the life safety system verification that proves the generator can sustain critical hospital operations during a utility power failure.
Hospital generators support life safety systems — operating theatres, ICU ventilators, medication refrigerators, and fire detection. A generator that fails to start or transfer within 10 seconds during a power outage puts patients in immediate danger. Monthly testing is not just maintenance — it's a rehearsal for the moment the generator must work flawlessly when lives depend on it.
