Most industrial and large commercial electrical installations include a number of important electrical receivers, the supply of which must be provided even in the event of a power failure from the mains:

Or as they are tied to safety systems (emergency lighting, automatic fire protection system, smoke removal, alarm devices, etc.) or because they are related to priority circuits, for example, certain equipment, the stop of which leads to production loss or exit Out of machine tools, etc.

One way to provide power to so-called "priority" electric receivers in the event of failure of other power supplies is to install a diesel generator set connected via a switch to the emergency power distribution switchboard, from which priority power supplies are supplied (see Figure M1). ..
