How It Works

Fuel Source

Transfer of Power

Power Generation

  Generators run on fuel such as natural gas, propane, diesel, or gasoline.  The fuel powers an engine, similar to a car engine, which drives the generator. 

Power Generation

Transfer of Power

Power Generation

 The engine turns a rotor inside the generator.  This creates electricity through electromagnetic induction (mechanical energy is converted into electrical energy). 

Transfer of Power

Transfer of Power

Automatic Start (Standby Models)

  Standby Generators are connected to your home or business electrical system through a transfer switch.  When the utility power goes out, the switch automatically disconnects from the grid and connects the generator’s power.  Portable Generators usually require manual setup and plugging into selected appliances or a transfer switch.

  Modern standby generators monitor the electrical supply. If they sense a power outage, they start automatically within seconds.  When utility power is restored, they switch back and shut down. 

Continuous Operation

Continuous Operation

 As long as the generator has fuel, it can keep supplying electricity.  Some natural gas or propane generators can run for days or weeks without interruption.
