Hospitals Rely on I-Gard for Electrical Safety One of the constant issues facing hospitals is electrical reliability. While significant focus, attention and capital are applied to backup power systems including generators, battery and UPS to protect critical processes and power factor correction equipment, an often overlooked issue is electrical ground faults. According to the authors J.R. Dunki-Jacobs, F.J. Shields and Conrad St. Pierre of Industrial Power Systems Grounding Design Book, 95% of all electrical outages are caused by ground faults. Many hospitals, whether in their main electrical distribution or for application on their emergency generators, are choosing high-resistance grounding as their method of choice.
