How Standby Generators Work
Guardian® standby generators are completely automatic, saving you from the inconvenience and potentially harmful effects of a power outage.
1. The Guardian system automatically, continuously monitors incoming power from the electric line.
2. When there's an outage, the control system in the generator automatically senses the loss of power and signals the generator to start.
3. The automatic transfer switch safely closes off the utility line and simultaneously opens a new power line from the generator.
4. Your Guardian generator supplies electricity to the critical circuits you previously chose to back up.
5. When the outage is over, the system transfers the electrical load back to the utility line. The generator continues to run for an engine cool-down period of several minutes and the entire system is again ready for the next power outage.
To insure the system is always ready when you need it, your generator will run a 10-12 minute self-test cycle every week.
