Residential Generator Systems
|
In the past, enduring a power outage was as
simple as lighting a candle and the fireplace.
Not anymore. Without electricity, basements
can flood. Security systems and Home
businesses can fail.
Many homeowners are unable or unwilling to
wait out the next power outage, so they are
installing backup power systems in their
homes.
These personal power plants supply electricity to the
majority of your house, not just to a few selected circuits.
The all-weather generators are installed outside like a
central air conditioner and are wired through an
automatic transfer switch to the main electrical panel.
The units run on natural gas, or propane. And can be
connected to a home's natural gas line, eliminating the
need to fill fuel tanks.
When the power goes out, there's a slight delay of 15 to 20 seconds, then
the generator automatically kicks on - whether you're home or not - and
continues running until power is restored, when it will automatically shut off.
The smallest emergency backup power plant offers 10 kilowatts of power.
The entire system can be professionally installed for around $8,000,
depending on the complexity of the installation.
These systems are becoming increasingly popular in newer homes with
sophisticated computers and electronics, and in rural areas where
prolonged power outages are common.
How Does It Work?
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.
