With an air-cooled system, you identify the circuits you want to protect, then you match those circuits on your distribution panel to the transfer switch's load center. Larger generators may protect all circuits with an appropriate transfer switch.
The system provides monitoring of incoming voltage from the utility line around the clock.
When utility power is interrupted, the transfer switch senses the problem and signals for the generator to start.
The automatic transfer switch will then safely close off the utility line and open a new power line from the generator.
Within seconds, your home standby system will supply electricity to your pre-selected circuits. When utility line voltage returns, the transfer switch will re-transfer the electrical load back to the utility source and resume monitoring for subsequent utility loss.
The generator is powered by propane or natural gas which means low maintenance of the generator.
