When does the generator send a fuel state alert to the ECS?

The generator sends a fuel state alert to the ECS (Equipment Control System) when there are less than 1 hour of fuel remaining. This threshold is critical because it ensures that the system is consistently monitored for fuel levels, facilitating timely actions to refuel and maintain operational readiness.

Sending alerts at this stage provides a safety margin, allowing operators ample opportunity to respond and prevent potential system shutdowns or operational interruptions. Fuel management is a crucial aspect of maintaining the functionality of systems reliant on generator power, especially in mission-critical situations. Thus, establishing the alert when fuel dwindles to under an hour serves to maximize operational efficiency and readiness.
