Why Should You Own a Standby Generator?
Imagine being without power. All the essentials you rely on are suddenly gone. No lights, no heat, no air conditioning. No sump pump to keep your basement dry. The food in your refrigerator spoils. But it doesn’t have to be that way.
With a Standby Generator, your power will return within seconds of an outage, keeping your home and your family safe and secure. Because it’s fully automatic, your Standby Generator will produce electricity as soon as it senses a power outage - 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, even if you’re away.
How a Home Standby System Works
When the utility power to your home fails - - because of a storm, accident, or brown-out conditions, the generator set automatically starts and, within seconds, produces electricity. The transfer of power is seamless and automatic, and allows you to continue your daily routine without interruption.
The System Works in 5 Basic Steps:
-
The Automatic Transfer Panel monitors the voltage coming from the utility.
-
The Transfer Panel senses when the utility power drops below an acceptable level, and sends a signal to start the generator set.
-
The Transfer Panel automatically disconnects the utility power from the electrical circuits in your home, and reconnects them to the generator unit.
-
The generator unit continues to supply electrical power to your home until utility power is restored.
-
The Transfer Panel senses when the utility power is restored, automatically disconnects the generator set from your home circuits, and reconnects the utility power.
-
The system automatically re-sets itself and is ready for the next power outage. |
