About this file
This file is a Los Angeles Fire Department Fire Protection Equipment Performance Report for an emergency power generator initial test conducted on 09/11/2024 at 351 E Temple St. The report details a failed test with two specific deficiencies: 1) the transfer time to secondary power exceeded 10 seconds, and 2) an exit sign on the 3rd floor near room A328 had a broken face, making it not clearly visible. The generator is a Marathon-manufactured 600 kW diesel-powered unit located in the electrical room on the P-2 level, serving the entire building's life safety systems including emergency exit signs, exit path lighting, fire alarm, and elevator systems. The generator has three transfer switches and a 5000-gallon main fuel tank with a 100-gallon day tank. The test was conducted as part of ensuring the emergency power system meets Los Angeles Fire Department Chief's Regulation No. 4 requirements and NFPA standards, with a requirement to correct identified defects within 30 days of the initial test.
