Home generators are designed to provide electricity in times of power
outages or utility company malfunctions for a short duration of time. Home
stand-by generators not only provide lighting for the house in case of power
outages but also may, depending on their capacity, provide power to run
appliances like air conditioners, refrigerators, furnaces, televisions and
heaters.
Stationary home generators require the service of a professional licensed
electrical contractor for installation. Generators are connected to the home
wiring system through an automatic transfer switch properly sized for the
home’s electrical needs or can be connected with a manual transfer switch or
properly connected inlet to operate selected loads. NEVER connect a portable
generator to the home’s electrical system without these critical safety
components installed!
Automatic Stationary generators come with an automatic power
monitoring system. As soon as there is disruption in power, the generator
automatically starts to provide power and switches off automatically after
normal power is restored.
