This recommended practice describes considerations for the application of electric generator systems as emergency and standby power sources in industrial and commercial power systems. Both rotating machines driven by engines or turbines and static inverters associated with chemical energy sources are addressed. Information is provided on alternator and inverter characteristics, prime mover types, fuel supply, controls, auxiliary systems, sizing criteria and installation considerations.
