Home Standby Generators |
| HOW DOES THE SYSTEM WORK? (back) |
| 
- The completely automatic transfer switch monitors incoming voltage
from the utility line - around the clock.
- When utility power is interrupted, the automatic transfer switch
immediately senses the problem and signals the generator to start.
- The automatic transfer switch then safely closes off the utility
line and simultaneously opens a new power line from the generator.
- Within seconds, your generator system begins supplying electricity
to the critical emergency circuits of your home or business. The
transfer switch continues to monitor the utility line conditions.
- When the automatic transfer switch senses the utility line voltage
has returned at a steady state, it re-transfers the electrical
load back to the utility line and resumes monitoring for subsequent
utility loss. The generator will continue to run for an engine
cool-down period of several minutes while the entire system stands
ready for the next power outage.
