Main characteristics to consider for the implementation of an MV back-up generator:


*Site activity
MV back-up generators are required when in case of the utility failure it is necessary to ensure the supply of the totality of the loads or the major part of them.
*Total power of the installed loads
*Sensitivity of circuits to power interruptions
*Availability of the public distribution network


The preferred basic configuration does not include an MV generator. Certain factors contribute to installing an MV generator:
For all the other situations LV back generators may be enough


*Site activity: process with co-generation, optimizing the energy bill,
The main criteria to consider for the implementation of MV back-up generators are the following:
*Low availability of the public distribution network.


Installation of a back-up generator can also be carried out at LV level.
* Site activity
* Sensitivity of the loads to power interruptions
* Level of availability of the public distribution network
* Process including a co-generation system
* Need to optimize the energy bill.

MV back-up generators are required when in case of the utility failure it is necessary to ensure the supply of the totality of the loads or the major part of them.

For all the other situations LV back generators may be enough

The main criteria to consider for the implementation of MV back-up generators are the following:

  • Site activity
  • Sensitivity of the loads to power interruptions
  • Level of availability of the public distribution network
  • Process including a co-generation system
  • Need to optimize the energy bill.
