RELIABILE POWER TRANSFER FOR LIFE-SAFTEY SYSTEMS

Automatic Transfer Switches (ATS) ensure quick, safe power transfer between utility power and emergency generators in healthcare facilities. They keep life‑safety systems and critical patient care areas powered without manual action.

• Power monitoring: Constantly checks utility power for outages or problems.
• Automatic transfer: Starts the generator and transfers load within required time limits.
• Safe load control: Protects sensitive medical equipment during power transitions.

COMBINED HEAT AND POWER (CHP) FOR HEALTHCARE

Combined Heat and Power (CHP) is an on‑site system that produces electricity and useful heat from a single fuel source. In healthcare settings, CHP improves efficiency and reliability by supporting continuous power, heating, and hot water needs—even during grid outages.

• Higher Efficiency Produces electricity and heat together, making it more efficient than separate power and heating systems.
• Lower Energy Costs Reuses waste heat for hot water, space heating, and sterilization.
• Reduce Emissions Helps hospitals meet sustainability goals and can operate on cleaner fuels like biogas or hydrogen.

CRITICAL POWER STANDARDS FOR HEALTHCARE FACILITIES

Caterpillar generators that meet NFPA 110 are important in healthcare because hospitals must have reliable backup power to keep patients safe. When normal power fails, these systems make sure critical equipment keeps running without dangerous delays.

• Fast, reliable backup power: Power starts within 10 seconds to support life‑saving equipment like ventilators and monitoring systems.
• Meets required healthcare codes: Helps hospitals comply with NFPA 110, NFPA 99, and Joint Commission standards.
• Monthly testing support: NFPA 110 requires 30 minutes of testing at 30% load each month; if that load can’t be reached, a load bank test is required—and Ohio Cat can help with both testing and compliance.
