2 Definition of a Standby Generator System monitors incoming utility voltage When utility power is interrupted, the generator is signaled to start The automatic transfer switch then safely closes off the utility line and simultaneously opens the line from the generator Within 20 seconds the home standby system begins supplying ppy electricity to the home or building s electrical panel. The system continues to monitor utility line conditions. When utility voltage returns at a steady state the systems re-transfers the electrical load back to the utility line and sends a signal to the generator to shut down. The generator is then returned to standby mode, ready for the next power outage. Installation Basics Generator (1) is placed (air- cooled on gravel, liquidcooled and all Florida generators on concrete slab) Transfer switch (4) is placed next to load panel (3) Conduit is run from switch to outdoor connection box where generator whip is connected Gas supply is run to flex fuel line (5) of generator Final electrical connections are made which move priority circuits over to transfer switch load panel or a larger amperage transfer switch is used to provide whole house protection 2
