SSG4905

This report provides guidelines on the design and specification of standby power systems. Although equipment of this type can be configured in a variety of ways, the final choice must, as always, be based on local factors, such as the demand for supply continuity, safety, price etc.
The design of standby power systems of various types is also a function of the reliability and quality of the grid supply.
General recommendations on standby power systems are given in the following pages. Although by no means complete or exhaustive, these may be of assistance in the design and specification of such systems.
Schematics of the most commonly used systems are shown in the appendices.
