How Generac Standby Generators Work
If your power goes out, your generator comes on automatically. The system consists of a generator and a transfer switch. The generator is typically located outside, similar to a central air conditioner, while the transfer switch is near the main breaker box.
The Process:
- Utility power is lost.
- Generator automatically detects a problem.
- Generator automatically turns on.
- Electricity is automatically restored.
