Abstract
With the NFPA 99 and JCAHO requirements for minimum loads on generators during testing, hospital engineers are finding that oversized standby generators can mean operational problems. This document explains the oversized generator problem, including the code changes that gave birth to the problem. Some practical suggestions for sizing generators are then provided.
