Technical FAQs 4

What happens to a generator when the power comes back?

When the power returns, the generator switches back to standby mode. This prevents damage and conserves fuel. Generators are essential during power outages, ensuring continuous electricity supply. Understanding what happens to a generator when the power comes back on is crucial for its safe operation.

Why does my generator stop running when power is restored?

When power gets restored, your generator stops running. The transition from generator to main power can vary based on your system type. Understanding how this switch occurs can help ensure safety and efficiency. An Automatic Transfer Switch (ATS) simplifies the process. It detects when the main power returns and automatically switches back.

Why is my generator not working after a power outage?

First, double-check that your generator’s control panel is properly set to automatic operation. If the main switch is not in the correct “auto” or “run” mode (especially after maintenance or an emergency stop), your generator will not start properly during a power outage. After maintenance, the system is usually in the “off” or “reset” position.

How do I manually shut off a generator?

Older models or budget generators may require manual shutoff. Here are the steps to manually shut off your generator: Wait for the main power to return. Turn off all connected appliances. Switch the generator to the “Off” position. Disconnect the generator from the power source. Store the generator in a safe, dry place.
