Standby Generator Guide

Essential Circuit Systems
Determine Your Circuits Instead of Your Wattage

Select Your Natural Gas Generator Based on Circuits Instead of Watts Think about it. Your house is already built.

You already have a customized electrical system installed by a professional electrician.

The main electrical panel is configured with circuit breakers already in place.

Why so many breakers?

Simple. To protect your home from an electrical overload.

If one circuit overloads, the whole house doesn’t shut down -- just the overloaded circuit.

Select circuit standby generators operate the same way. Since small, air-cooled generators don’t generate enough power to run the entire house, there’s no point in supplying power to your entire electrical panel. Otherwise, you run a good risk of overloading the system.

How it Works
 
To make things extremely simply, Generac standby generators come equipped with pre-wired automatic transfer switches.

Each transfer switch has a different number of pre-wired circuits. The numbers of circuits vary, depending on the size of the generator.

The more powerful the generator -- the more circuits you can power – the more circuits you get.

In addition, the circuits come in different sizes. Some are small 15-Amp (120 volt) breakers. Others are powerful 50-Amp (240 volt) breakers.

To size your generator, you simply need to tell us (a) how many circuits you want to power and (b) the size of each circuit.
