How Does A Backup Generator Work?

A backup generator is a marvel of modern technology designed to safeguard your home during power outages. Backup generators are designed to automatically detect a power outage and provide electricity within seconds. But you might be wondering, how exactly does a backup generator work? 

Here's a simplified explanation of the process:

  • Step 1 - Power loss detection: The generator's automatic transfer switch quickly identifies a power outage. This switch serves as the system's 'brain,' monitoring electricity flow from your utility 24/7.
  • Step 2 - Generator activation: Once an outage is detected, the transfer switch disconnects your home from the grid and signals the generator to start. This process happens within a matter of seconds.
  • Step 3 - Power supply: The generator begins supplying power to your home's electrical circuit directly. You can prioritize which appliances or rooms get power to manage the load effectively.
  • Step 4 - Restoration of utility power: As soon as utility power is restored, the automatic transfer switch will switch your home back to grid power. The generator then goes back to standby mode, ready for the next outage.

Understanding how a backup generator works emphasizes its value as an essential component of any modern home, especially in the Austin and Greater Houston area, which is prone to power outages. With Storm Guardian Generators and Generac, you have a reliable and efficient power solution at your fingertips.
