There are many questions to ask yourself to determine the best solution for your needs. Is your home or business 100% electric, or is there a gas/propane source to mitigate the load your generator would have? Do you want to power only the essentials, or more, in the event of an outage? Do you want a generator that starts automatically, or do you mind going outside to manually plug in a portable generator? Or would you be interested in a battery-powered system?

  • When an automatic transfer switch is installed, in most cases it becomes the first point of connection for the electrical input. It is therefore very important to ground the building according to very precise rules to avoid a potentially dangerous current return path.
  • In the residential sector, given the capacity of automatic generators, which rarely exceed 26kW (86.67A), it is often necessary to “split” the heating elements of an electric furnace to avoid overloading the generator. Electric furnaces are large loads that can consume the entire capacity of your generator.
