As such, reliability of these types of systems is critical and good design practices are essential. Code and standards A.) Classification of emergency and standby power systems The classification of emergency and standby power systems is as follows: Emergency Power System: Defined in IEEE Std [1] as an independent reserve source of electric energy that, upon failure or outage of the normal source, automatically provides reliable electric power within a specified time to critical devices and equipment whose failure to operate satisfactorily would jeopardize the health and safety of personnel or result in damage to property. The NEC [2] gives a slightly different definition for Emergency Systems as those systems legally required and classed as emergency by municipal, state, federal, or other codes, or by any governmental agency having jurisdiction. These systems are intended to automatically supply illumination, power, or both, to designated areas and equipment in the event of failure of the normal supply or in the event of accident to elements of a system intended to supply, distribute, and control power and illumination essential for safety to human life.
