Generator control panel and automatic transfer switch

Public Health Facilities

Public health facilities run refrigeration, laboratory, and clinical loads that do not tolerate an outage. Hedgehog Power Systems maintains and tests standby generators for public health customers across Illinois and the Midwest, with testing plans built around NFPA 110 and a written record after every visit.

What drives the work

The requirements this facility answers to.

Requirements differ between editions of NFPA 110, and the edition that applies is the one adopted by your local authority having jurisdiction. Confirm the adopted edition with your AHJ, accreditor, or insurer before relying on any schedule.

01

Cold chain and laboratory loads

Vaccine refrigeration and lab equipment need power restored fast and held steady. Transfer switch timing and generator stability get tested together.

02

NFPA 110 routine testing

Weekly inspection, monthly 30-minute exercise at 30% of nameplate, monthly transfer switch operation, annual fuel testing, and the 36-month run for Level 1 systems.

03

Public accountability

Records that show the system was tested, what was found, and what was fixed, ready for any reviewer who asks.
