Rules for Ships is to be provided with a level detector.

4.7 Supply of electric power – General

4.7.1 For units which operate with one generator set in service, arrangements are to be such that a standby generator will
automatically start and connect to the switchboard in as short a time as practicable, but in any case within 45 seconds, on loss
