Choosing Your Standby Generator

If you are visiting this website you have been looking into choosing and purchasing a  new standby generator.  Choosing your standby generator proves effective and is an excellent choice for rural areas without easy access to large city power grids, the agriculture and industrial industries benefit from dependability of electrical power to operate machinery and equipment either by human interface or stand alone, and the commercial market can rest easy with the security a standby generator has to offer to especially when medical applications need power to save lives.  If your power requirements do not include any of the above or you are not seeking an emergency backup power product, you may want to visit one of the following websites for more information: PTO generators or portable generators.

Criteria Needed Before Choosing Your Standby Generator

When choosing your standby generator you will need to determine the following:

• The Wattage (power capacity) you seek in a power generator. This is accomplished by adding the total of all watts and amps for the devices you wish to be hooked up to your standby generator.
• Fuel Type - Do you want to use a natural gas, propane or diesel generator?
• Dimensions - Measure the space (HxWxL) and one alternate position for the location you wish to place your standby generator. Include any space for accessories, control boxes, and fuel tanks.  Make sure the location is well ventilated or outdoors.
• Weight - When choosing your standby generator consider weight factors at the location of placement.
• Engine Power - There are different levels of horsepower, amps and volts.  Generators typically come as single or 3 phase generators ranging from 120 - 480 volts.
• Cords & Accessories - Measure the distance for you power cords and speak with a qualifed consultant regarding feature options and other custom specifications such as voltage regulators and automatic transfer switches.
• Legal - Investigate permits, emission regulations and electrical certifications necessary before choosing your standby generator.
