Jea48, I find it interesting to know that the "pull pressure" of hospital grade recepticles is tested for the hospital environment. I didn't know that and I work in a hospital. However, I'm sure our maintenance personnel are aware of that. One thing to note, at least in our hospital, is that the red recepticles are the only recepticles that are used for normal power and power from the back-up generators. The red recepticles are used for computers, ventilators, etc. Also, it takes between 10 to 15 seconds for the generators to come on line, so there is a slight interruption in power, except for anything also plugged into a battery supply. Our ventilators have a builtin backup battery supply of about 30 minutes. Thanks for the education!
