A generator set that is permanently available and intended to be brought easily into service when another supply has failed.
Note: 1 An emergency generator set that is brought into service when the regular supply has failed and that provides comparable service is called a standby generator set.
Note: 2 An emergency generator set that is brought into service when both regular supply and emergency supply have failed may provide a greatly reduced service.
