2 Unsurpassed Reliability, Experience and Expertise Cummins has both the products and the integration expertise to solve the complex challenges of healthcare power applications. Complex Healthcare Requirements Demand Application Expertise Cummins has the extensive application knowledge and engineering expertise to implement robust, reliable power systems in healthcare facilities around the world. Whether a facility needs emergency backup power only or requires the flexibility to operate in prime power or co-generation applications, Cummins experts are trained in designing and deploying solutions for every power system scenario. Electrical systems found in healthcare facilities are much larger and more complex than those found in traditional commercial buildings. At Cummins, we understand the advanced requirements of hospital power systems: to provide the highest degrees of reliability and flexibility while offering efficiencies that reduce operating costs. Single-source Power Systems Provide Unmatched Reliability Cummins is the healthcare industry s only single-source manufacturer, designing and producing all the major components in its complete power systems. Our vertically integrated systems feature diesel and gas engines, high-performance alternators, digital master controls, paralleling switchgear, automatic transfer switches, turbochargers, and the industry s leading emissions-reduction technologies (both in-engine and aftertreatment). In hospitals, the complex prioritization of power load restoration must be carefully considered first, to ensure patient wellness; and second, the safe working environment of everyday healthcare staff. That s why facilities engineers trust the experts at Cummins to install complete power systems that precisely direct the emergency response of life safety, critical and equipment facility loads. World-class Service and Support Our unmatched power equipment expertise is backed by our comprehensive global service and support network. Regardless of where your healthcare facility is located, Cummins has a proven track record of successfully implementing best-in-class hospital power systems around the globe. To ensure that our staff is comprised of the world s most knowledgeable power systems experts, we require training and accreditation for service and support personnel, application engineers and field technicians. We are well-versed in power system standards and regulatory requirements throughout the world from NFPA 99 and 110 in North America to the International Joint Commission standards in the Middle East.

3 Power System Flexibility Is Important to Address Diverse Facility Needs Different parts of the world are subject to varying sets of operating parameters. As a result, the assortment of power systems deployed in healthcare facilities spans a broad spectrum of applications from standby to primary power systems, to cogeneration or trigeneration systems. n Standby power The traditional role of a healthcare power system is to serve in a standby capacity seamlessly accepting block loads when required and selectively coordinating the emergency response of essential facility systems. With power systems that feature fastest-to-bus diesel generators, Cummins provides critical power restoration when healthcare facilities need it most. n Prime Power In regions where reliable utility power is unavailable, facility managers may opt for a prime power system that reduces dependency on utility power and enables extended run times. Cummins provides a full range of fuel-efficient diesel and natural gas systems to address these unique needs. n Cogeneration Combined heat and power (CHP) systems allow operators to simultaneously generate electricity and capture reusable waste heat to improve efficiencies and reduce operating costs. Waste heat from the engine exhaust flow and cooling circuits is extracted by a heat recovery system and used to produce steam or hot water for heating. This method of operation helps improve facility efficiency and reduce dependence on the grid. n Trigeneration With trigeneration, absorption chillers are linked to the cogeneration process. These chillers use thermal energy streams generated by the heat recovery system to produce chilled water, which is then used for air conditioning and/or refrigeration. This maximizes energy efficiency and reduces electricity costs. Regardless of the power system architecture required for these diverse applications, Cummins offers a superior combination of equipment and personnel expertise. With pre-integrated systems based on diesel and gas generators, Cummins has the extensive experience to meet the multiple objectives of healthcare facilities engineers worldwide.

4 When the Consequences of Downtime Are Potentially Catastrophic, Power Systems Must Be Absolutely Fail-safe Cummins offers facilities engineers fully integrated power systems that are designed, manufactured and tested to perform under every critical scenario. Regardless of the facility type, Cummins provides complete, state-of-the-art power systems tailored to meet every healthcarerelated power load requirement. As a designer and producer of every component in the power distribution system, Cummins is the healthcare industry s only single-source provider. Seamless Power Distribution Diesel and Gas Generator Sets Robust engines, reliable alternators, advanced emissions-control systems, and sophisticated, on-board digital controls comprise the most high-performance generator sets in the world. Diesel and gas options can be combined to enhance the flexibility of power systems, enabling fast emergency responses and giving hospitals the ability to exploit cogeneration and peak shaving opportunities when available. Cummins proprietary PowerCommand paralleling systems give hospitals a level of assurance unattainable with other power system providers. By seamlessly integrating generator set on-board controls, low or medium voltage sections, automatic transfer switches, digital master controls for supervisory functions and distributed logic capabilities, healthcare facilities can achieve world-class transient performance on the essential critical loads. Monitoring, Control and Reporting Automatic Transfer Switches Cummins automatic transfer switches feature PowerCommand control technology for easy operation and a robust, high-contact force design to withstand thousands of switching cycles. When hospitals need to prioritize life safety, critical and equipment power loads, Cummins automatic transfer switches are trusted to properly sequence load demands and prevent outages where disruptions are not allowable. PowerCommand remote monitoring provides visibility to power system performance anywhere in the facility. Advanced functionality enables operators to monitor and control multiple devices in any combination of generator sets, transfer switches and expandable I/O modules. End users can generate maintenance reports and test records for regulating authorities. Designated users can receive event alerts via , text and SNMP communications.

5 With Lives in the Balance, Hospitals Choose Cummins for Critical Protection The critical missions of healthcare facilities are to save human lives and preserve the wellness of patients. Equipment and systems supporting these vital tasks require an uninterrupted supply of stable power, regardless of circumstances. Emergency standby power systems must be entirely fail-safe to maintain life support functions, emergency room activities and operating room procedures because there simply is no room for disruptions. While healthcare facility power requirements differ around the world, depending on infrastructure and local regulations, the demand for reliable power systems is constant. Regardless of location or facility type, Cummins is the healthcare industry s only singlesource provider of complete power systems, delivering reliable power through extensive application knowledge and industry experience. Only Cummins is backed by a global distribution and support network capable of providing turnkey power system design, installation and commissioning, and aftermarket service.
