How Does a Standby Generator Work
A standby generator, also known as a backup generator, is a device that provides electrical power during a power outage. It works by monitoring the electrical supply to your home or business. When the generator senses a loss of power from the main grid, it automatically activates and starts supplying electricity.
Standby generators are typically connected to your electrical system through an automatic transfer switch (ATS). The transfer switch detects the loss of power from the grid and switches on the generator. Once the generator is running, the transfer switch safely disconnects your home or business from the main power supply and connects it to the generator.
Standby generators are powered by a fuel source, such as natural gas, propane, or diesel. The generator’s engine continues to run as long as the power outage persists, providing a steady supply of electrical power to your home or business. Once the main power is restored, the transfer switch disconnects the generator and reconnects your home or business to the grid. The standby generator then goes through a cool-down period before shutting down automatically.
