NHS England HTM 06-01 Electrical Services Supply and Distribution (2017 Edition) 9.22-9.27: Generator configuration: N+1 best practice and known failure causes

Small sites may use a single diesel set, but larger premises should share load between two or more machines, with interlocked switching so essential loads see only one running supply. Each set is itself a single point of failure, so maintenance routines should aim to cut the chance of failure, addressing common causes: overload (inadequate testing on actual site load), cold engine (heater off or failed), flat batteries (charger off or failed, cold batteries), and cold room (room heater off or excessive air change at standby). Best practice is N+1: two sets each able to carry full load or three each able to carry half, agreed early with the Group and designers.
