Transfer Switches for Safe Operation of Generators

noreply@blogger.com (A.P. Electric and Generator Supply) — Thu, 16 Feb 2012 06:00:00 +0000

If you have a generator on your home or building, then you need to be aware of what transfer switches are and how they can help to ensure safe operation of your generator.

Problems

One common problem when it comes to generator use is that backfeeding can occur as you switch from utility line power to generator power. Utility line power is power provided by your power company and transferred into your house through a wire called a utility line. When this type of power goes out, you can switch to having your generator power your home. Unfortunately, when the switch is made back and forth between the generator and the utility line providing power, some electricity can actually travel the wrong way down the utility line.

Transfer switches avoid these problems by having a three-position system. The generator can be turned on when the utility line power goes out or vice versa, but first the power must transition to the third position –off- before the switch is made. In this way, transfer switches such as those available at AP Electric, help to make generator operation safer and more efficient.

It Can Prove Dangerous

First and foremost, saving a few bucks is not worth risking your life. That said, when it comes to installing your Generac generator, you need to remember that you’re dealing with electricity. And as most of us know, electricity can prove dangerous if handled incorrectly.

It May Not Work

Imagine this scenario: your power goes out during a major storm. But you aren’t worried—you have a Generac generator ready to kick on. Except, it never does. What happened? You installed it yourself…incorrectly. Now what?

Do yourself a favor--have a professional handle the installation of your Generac generator.

Generac Portable Generators http://www.apelectric.com/Generac-Portable-Generators-s/364.htm Make Sure to Use Them Outside

noreply@blogger.com (A.P. Electric and Generator Supply) — Sat, 14 Jan 2012 20:15:00 +0000

Generac portable generators are a great tool to keep on hand. After all, you never know when you may lose power, and you never know when you will be camping or at an outdoor event where electricity is needed but not available. Having said that, it’s important that you know how to use this tool properly so that it does not become a lethal weapon.

Carbon Monoxide – the Silent Killer

Your portable generator releases noxious fumes – namely carbon monoxide. This is a poisonous gas produced during combustion. When released into the open air, it’s not going to do you much harm. However, in a closed space, the consequence of producing and subsequently inhaling carbon monoxide can be devastating.

For this reason, you should never even consider running your generator inside. Even if you think the room is well ventilated – trust us when we say it’s a horrible idea.

Remember, Generac portable generators can be a lifesaver – don’t let yours become a life taker.

Generator Transfer Switches: Manual or Automatic

noreply@blogger.com (A.P. Electric and Generator Supply) — Wed, 28 Dec 2011 21:51:00 +0000

Thinking of purchasing a generator? Then you will need a transfer switch. Whenever a home loses power, it is the generator transfer switches that shut off the utility line connected to the electrical system in the house as well as open up a line to the generator. After the power outage is over, the same switch reverses the process and puts everything back to normal.

Manual Transfer Switches

This type of switch is hardwired into the home’s circuit breaker panel. They are usually connected to portable or standby generators. They must be manually turned on every time the electricity is disrupted. This may be something to consider since power outages can occur when you aren’t home. It can run the essential circuits of the house such as lighting and furnace blowers, neither of which can be powered by an extension cord.

Automatic Transfer Switches

With switches in this category, the power is automatically transferred to the generator when a drop in line voltage occurs. The generator is turned off when the voltage returns to the regular level. This switch works best with homes that have permanently installed generators. However, as long as it has an electric starter, portable models will work with automatic generator transfer switches as well.

Generac Power Systems: A Must Have For Restaurants

noreply@blogger.com (A.P. Electric and Generator Supply) — Fri, 23 Dec 2011 21:47:00 +0000

Restaurants are the most popular business to start in America. They are also very expensive to run, which is part of the reason 1 in every 5 fail. Nothing is worse than the electricity being knocked out and instantly putting you in the red. Generac power systems can help you avoid such situations. How so?

Spoiled Food = Wasted Money

One of the biggest problems restaurant owners run into during power outages is spoiled food. The electricity could be out for a few hours or a few days. Imagine how much food you would have to toss once the lights are back on. You can avoid this expensive hassle by investing in a generator. Your meats, produce, and dairy products will be kept cool do matter how long the utility is down.

A Beacon in the Darkness

Another great thing about having a backup power supply is that while all your neighbors may have to close shop, you’ll be able to continue offering your culinary services. In big cities like New York, people are looking for a good meal at all hours of the night. With one of the many Generac power systems available, you’ll be able to keep your normal business hours with or without utility power. This means more money in the bank.

Generac RV Generators: Answers to Frequently Asked Questions

noreply@blogger.com (A.P. Electric and Generator Supply) — Sun, 18 Dec 2011 21:42:00 +0000

RVing has become very popular in recently years as friends and families set off to explore America. Get the most out of your RV trip by purchasing a Generac generator so you can bring along the modern comforts of home. If you have never owned a RV generator, below are a few common questions about these machines.

Is engine de-carbonization needed?

No. The great thing about Generac RV generators is that they use overhead valve industrial engines. Since they comply with all current U.S emission requirements, you won’t have to remove carbon from the engine like you would with generators from other manufacturers.

What is the best type of oil to use?

If you read your owner’s manual, you’ll see that it’s suggested you use only detergent oil with the API class of SJ, SH, or SG. Special additives aren’t recommended. While petroleum-based oils will help keep the engine clean, you’re able to use synthetic oil after the initial break-in procedure has been completed.

Can my generation produce 240 volts?

The PRIMEPACT series by Generac can be adjusted to produce an increased amount of voltage. However, it’s recommended to allow a certified dealer to make this reconfiguration since incorrect modifications can cause internal damage.
