Power Monitoring: Protecting a Hospital's Lifeline
Critical power can be a matter of life or death in health care facilities. To guarantee a reliable flow of electrical power, a hospital’s critical power supply and all its components must function properly and automatically, even under harsh conditions.

St. John's Hospital in Springfield, Ill., is no exception. The 730-bed hospital spans more than 1.7 million square feet. A few years ago, maintenance personnel realized they needed to update the hospital’s electrical infrastructure, due to issues with a substation transformer. The electrical shop’s general foreman contacted the engineering services group at Schneider Electric to help conduct a study and determine the cause of the problem. . .Click here for full article. . .
