Power topic #7010: IBC seismic requirements and power transfer switches By Beth Kerr, Program Manager Power Electronics ATS 
For designated building functions, the IBC can require that systems critical to life safety and fulfilling the building’s intended purpose remain online immediately after a seismic event. This can affect the backup and emergency system, requiring the system be certified compliant for the same seismic design category as the building. Because the IBC is the code for the building structure, it is not typically a document that is used by mechanical engineers. However, the mechanical design professional is responsible for both identifying and specifying the transfer switch plus interrelated equipment when required. The designer should require proof of compliance with each manufacturer’s bid to avoid the risk of receiving non-compliant equipment. Case History: Lahad Datu Hospital – Malaysia Two 748DFJC Cummins Power Generation gensets provide back–up to the irregular grid power supply, while exceeding stringent voltage, air quality and sound level standards for sensitive hospital environments.
