Commercial Standby Generators
The Best Protection

Will you be prepared if power goes out? Are you one of the few business owners with commercial standby generators? Or, like many of your competitors, could a power outage cause your business to fail? Severe weather, a downed power line, and work by the electric company all add up to time without electricity. It is important to plan for that time wisely.

If you work in the food service industry a power outage can cost you immeasurable amounts of money – a total loss in many cases – depending on the length of the outage. Medical buildings and clinics face life and death decisions that require electrical power twenty-four hours a day. Computers run banks and most businesses, including schools. When you think about this it is easy to see how disastrous power outages can be.

Today, business can protect itself from power outages with commercial standby generators. These generators connect to the electrical load of the building housing the business and are activated in the event of an outage. They give business owners complete peace of mind and are very affordable.

The New and Improved Generators

Today’s generators, such as the Generac commercial generators, contain a unique auto transfer switch. This switch is activated when a power blackout occurs. In seconds the power switches from electrical sources to the commercial generator.

Generac generators are automatic. They do not require business owners to constantly hook and unhook appliances or plug in the generator. It is a one-time install. The generator becomes installed permanently in the building.

The Generator

There are four main components to the commercial generator. First is the engine. This is the motor of the generator and what runs the other components. The generator does not run off electricity and must use another power source, most commonly propane, diesel, or natural gas, for fuel.

The second component is the transfer switch. This is the important switch that changes the buildings power from the electrical source to the generator. To do this, the generator first senses the lack of electrical power and then turns on. It takes about 25 to 30 seconds for the process to occur. When the electricity returns, the transfer switch goes into action again, this time in reverse switching back to electrical power.

The generator head is the third component. This part of the commercial generator turns the power generated into electrical power that can be utilized by the business. For example, the generator head converts power that can run computers, provide lighting, turn on security alarms, and provide refrigeration.

Finally, the wattage of a generator must be measured. The generator is recognized by the number of watts, (KW), it produces. The smallest generators produce around 1 KW of power. However, most commercial generators create much more – up to 100 KW.
