Power Management
UPS health, generator readiness, redundancy, and power monitoring
Power is the dependency underneath every other control. A UPS with four year old batteries reports healthy right up until it gives you ninety seconds instead of twenty minutes, and a generator that has never been load tested is a story rather than a control.
This library verifies the things that only reveal themselves under load.
What this library checks
- UPS battery age, last replacement and measured runtime against calculated load
- UPS self-test schedule and results
- Generator start testing, load testing and the difference between them
- Fuel level, fuel age, fuel polishing and supply arrangements
- Automatic transfer switch testing and observed transfer time
- Power monitoring, alerting and notification destinations
- Shutdown automation and whether it has been tested end to end
Evidence you will be asked for
Every check in Spectra Core carries its own evidence. These are the artefacts an auditor, insurer or board most often wants to see for this area.
- UPS battery install dates and last runtime test result
- Generator load test record with duration and load percentage
- Transfer switch test record
Where this usually goes wrong
Utility instability makes this library disproportionately important across the Caribbean. Equipment that would last a decade elsewhere ages faster here, and untested transfer is a common cause of avoidable downtime.
Run this library against your environment
Every check comes with a risk level, a review frequency, an assignee and a plain-language rationale, so the output reads for leadership as well as for engineers.
