In Hudson we installed a dozen Caterpillar Diesel generators which produced much more power than was actually required.

Anyone who built a fab without emergency power deserves to lose it. In fact it just isn't done that way!

I agree with the backup power. Do you think the transfer to the backup is immediate? I'm just talking from experience. The power xfer is very quick (milliseconds?) but it creates problems with tools and fab monitoring systems such as gas detection systems. It takes time to recover the equipment and ensure the gas detection type faults are false. No I'm not kidding. Once to steady state on backup there are no
