How Standby Generators Work

1

Power Goes Out

The generator's automatic transfer switch detects the outage within seconds.

2

Generator Starts

The standby generator automatically starts and reaches operating speed within 10-20 seconds.

3

Power Transfers

The transfer switch safely disconnects from the grid and connects to generator power.

Utility Returns

When power returns, the switch transfers back to utility and the generator shuts down automatically.
