How Stand-By Generators Work

It's very easy! Unlike portable generators, permanently installed stand-by generators eliminate the need for extension cords and gas cans by operating on an existing fuel supply. Here’s how it works:

dot The generator monitors incoming voltage from the utility line

dot When the power is interrupted, the generator detects the problem and goes to work

dot The automatic transfer switch safely disconnects the utility line and simultaneously connects a new power line from the generator

dot Power is then restored within seconds

dot When the utility power is restored, the generator turns back into stand-by mode
