When Are Standby Generator Used?

by Starlight Generator dieselgeneratortech

1. Emergencies

Generators are synonymous with disaster preparedness and emergency use is one of their most common jobs. Generators’ usefulness during a natural disaster such as a hurricane or flood that knocks out power for days on end ranges from convenient to downright life-saving. Extremes of hot and cold kill Americans every year, and the ability of a generator to power something as simple as a space heater during a blizzard could mean the difference between life and death.

 

2. Routine Power Outages

When the power goes out for non-emergency reasons, a high-capacity standby backup generator can keep you on your daily routine without missing a beat. But because most Americans only deal with outages for a few hours per year on average, many consumers opt for a smaller, portable generator that can keep the fridge running, a few fans blowing, and other minor appliances powered until the juice comes back.

 

3. Standby Power For Businesses

When it comes to grid power reliability, commercial enterprises have much more at stake than the average homeowner. A few hours of downed equipment could mean millions of dollars in missed orders and customers lost forever.

 

A standby generator (or two) is the best way for companies to ensure a virtually uninterrupted power supply. Certain industries such as hospitals are mandated to have a literally uninterrupted supply, which can be done with a UPS (uninterrupted power supply) system so that power doesn’t drop out for even a few seconds.
