STANDBY POWER
Reliable backup power when it matters most.
Protect your operations from unexpected outages with standby power systems designed to deliver dependable backup power when the grid fails.
What is Standby Power?
A standby generator is a backup power solution that provides power to your business operations, commercial & industrial applications, or facilities in the event of a power outage. Standby generators are a robust solution that can provide power for days during extended power outages, depending on the fuel type and configuration of the generator. Unlike prime or continuous generators, standby generators are only used for situations such as power outages due to inclement weather, natural or man-made disasters, or regular blackouts due to the aging power grid.
Standby generators are most commonly paired with an ATS (Automatic Transfer Switch), which prompts the standby generator to kick in within seconds of power loss due to power outage. How an ATS works is that the switch disconnects your facility from the main utility power grid after a power outage. After the facility has been safely and completely cut off from the power grid, the switch prompts the generator to start and to start generating power to the facility’s electrical panel. When power to the main grid is restored, the automatic transfer switch prompts the generator to shut down and reconnects the facility to the main power grid.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between standby power and prime power?
Standby generators operate during power outages and are designed for backup applications. Prime power systems are designed to operate as the primary source of electricity where grid power is unavailable.
How quickly can a standby generator start during an outage?
Most standby systems can automatically start and restore power within seconds when integrated with an Automatic Transfer Switch (ATS).
What size standby generator do I need?
The correct size depends on your site's power requirements, critical loads, and future expansion plans. Our team can help assess your needs and recommend a suitable solution.
Can standby generators be monitored remotely?
Yes. Remote monitoring systems can provide real-time visibility of performance, alarms, fuel levels, and operational status.
Do you provide installation and ongoing maintenance?
Yes. We provide complete project support, including system design, supply, installation coordination, commissioning, and ongoing servicing.
