  • Abstract
    In electrical power systems, such as data centers and hospitals, where service continuity is essential, the electrical operation needs a skilled organization and a team available at all times (24/7) to have a fast emergency response. The hospital management considers doctors, surgeons, administrators, medical devices rightly at the forefront, but electrical and technological systems and the team of technicians wrongly as ancillaries. This paper emphasizes the importance of the business continuity management for service continuity and highlights how medical IT-systems have not to carry out power outage for fault due to overcurrents and overvoltages. When a fault occurs, the protection system could include a countdown time so that emergency response team must solve the problem before the system collapses.
