  • Abstract
    The electrical interface between the utility and the critical load facility includes the utility feeder, switchgear, transfer switches and engine generator sets. The interface must ensure that electric power is uninterrupted from at least one of the power sources. As a possible site of single point failure, the interface is highly critical for the facility
