How Do Standby Generators Work?
By and large, standby generators consists of two very important products: the standby generator itself and an automatic transfer switch. The two work together so that when your home or business loses power, it will only be a matter of seconds before the backup power takes over.
Both the standby generator and the automatic transfer switch are professionally installed by members of Hardy Electric’s skilled team to your building’s existing wiring. The generator will sit constantly at the ready and when the system senses that there’s been an interruption with the utility power flowing through your home or business, it takes over within seconds. And once the generator system senses utility power is back online, power is automatically transferred back to utility power and the standby generator shuts down until the next time it’s needed.
Types of Standby Generators
Standby generators are largely divided into two categories: natural gas or liquid propane and diesel or gasoline.
Standby generators that run on natural gas or liquid propane are connected directly to supply lines. These tend to be more efficient systems, but if the municipal gas supply lines become damaged during a natural disaster, the generator will not work.
Diesel or gasoline generators might require the installation of a permanent fuel tank, but at least gasoline is typically easy to find.
