Standby Generator

In this modern age of time homeowners and businesses just can not afford to be without power due to an outage.  Installing standby generators is becoming more common for homeower protection. Unlike portable generators, standby generators operate automatically with no human intervention. Standby generators can run on natural or LP gas and have automatic startup and shutdown.

Generators produce AC voltage, very similar to the voltage you are using in your home.  The difference is while your electric company produces sufficient power for all your electric powered devices, a home standby generator is limited in power output directly related to the engine horsepower. The amount of power that a generator can produce is rated in watts. Your rated power is less than the peak power as many components lose their efficiency as they are heated from use. To determine the wattage requirements you should determine which devices need to be powered simultaneously and what are the starting requirements.  Remember that with simple power management techniques, a smaller generator can provide sufficient  power for home or recreational applications.
