How Does a Standby Generator Work?
A standby generator is more than just a backup—it’s a smart system that keeps your home powered during outages. But how does it work?
Standby generators, like those offered by Generac, are powered by natural gas or propane. When an outage occurs, the system’s automatic transfer switch detects the power loss and starts the generator. It disconnects your home from the utility grid and reroutes power to your electrical panel, ensuring a seamless transition.
When utility power is restored, the generator automatically shuts down and returns to standby mode. This efficient process provides uninterrupted power for critical systems like lighting, HVAC, and refrigerators.
