System Reference Checklist for Standby Emergency Power

This system reference checklist supports comprehensive inspections of standby emergency power systems across facilities. It guides contractors and site teams through generator identification and parameters, control panel status and alarms, exhaust, lubrication, coolant and air intake checks, turbocharger and governor assessment, and detailed review of fuel storage tanks, day tanks, fuel pumps, piping, filters and separators. It also covers emergency switchgear, paralleling gear, and automatic transfer switch verification, including sensor settings, delays, and manual bypass procedures. Health and safety items such as access control, signage, spill kits, eye wash, PPE and MSDS documentation are included. Use it to log deficiencies, capture images and serial data, and record recommendations for safe, compliant and reliable standby power.
