Just to add to the above, I believe that most ILS systems are powered by a bank of batteries, that are constantly trickle charged from the mains. If the mains fails, then standby generators should start automatically, which take time before they are 'on-line', but the batteries ensure a 'no-break' power supply. As an added safeguard for CAT11/111 ops, the procedure is as described by SC.
