Critical-power continuity
Define permitted interruptions and maintenance isolation for every essential load.
Decisions before procurement
| Decision | What to establish | Evidence to bring |
|---|---|---|
| Load priorities | Separate no-break loads, generator-supported loads and loads that may be shed. Include starting and nonlinear duties. | Critical-load schedule and permitted outage |
| Source and bypass | Coordinate UPS, generator transfer and maintenance bypass. A bypass path does not provide battery autonomy. | Single-line diagram, interlocks and isolation plan |
| Acceptance | Agree transfer tests, battery assumptions, alarms and access before quoting equipment. | Runtime target and test/service responsibilities |
Your project brief
- Essential-load kW/kVA and starting duties
- Permitted outage and autonomy
- Utility/generator/UPS arrangement and space
- Bypass, isolation and commissioning scope
Confirm the actual supply and control voltage. Kenyan projects commonly specify 230/240 V single-phase or 400/415 V three-phase; the selected equipment must match the measured supply and manufacturer rating.
