  • Abstract
    In electrical power systems, such as data centers and hospitals, where service continuity is essential, the electrical operation management must be organized and it is necessary to have an emergency response team available at all times (24/7). In hospitals, for instance, doctors, surgeons, administrators, medical devices are rightly at the forefront, but electrical and technological systems and team of technicians are wrongly considered as ancillaries. The paper emphasizes the importance of the Business Continuity Management (BCM) and highlights how IT-M systems have not to carry out power outage for fault both due to overcurrent and also due to overvoltage. When a fault occurs during a surgical operation, the protection system shall include a count-down time so that emergency response team must solve the problem before the system collapses.
