How Do Standby Generators Work

How Do Standby Generators Work

Everyone knows that generators provide power to your home in the event of a storm or incident that causes your electricity from the main grid to be cut off. But, do you actually know how it is able to provide power to your lights, refrigerator, air conditioning, etc.? Let’s break it down… 

In simple terms, your generator is on guard 24/7 to protect you and your home from a power outage. When power from the main electricity grid is interrupted, your Standby GenerX Generator will detect this and automatically turn on, providing your home with continuous power within seconds.

In not-so-simple terms, when you lose power and your generator turns on, it powers up an internal mechanism called an alternator. The alternator then converts the mechanical energy of the internal combustion engine into electrical energy that powers your home. 

We’ve put together a short video to help you better understand just exactly how a Standby GenerX Generator will improve your quality of life during a power outage.
