	Backup generator keeps lights on
		Your options are a small, gasoline-powered portable generator or a large, whole-house gas/propane-powered one.
		Because you mentioned a generator for your entire house, consider a gas or propane standby generator.
		Most standby generators, from 8 to 30 kilowatts output, are the size of a large central air-conditioner outdoor unit.

	Storm-Ready Home: Emergency Backup Generators
		Permanent backup generators are increasingly common in coastal states from the Carolinas to Florida and in New England where powerful storms and shared power grids can threaten local power throughout the year.
		Portable generators can replace part of a household load during an electrical outage, but these devices are typically loud, hard to move, run on gasoline, and limit the number of appliances that can run at any one time.
		If the generator is to run off the home’s fuel supply, a hose is attached to the generator and run into the house to connect with the propane or natural gas.

		Backup power can be used to maintain energy for critical loads or to power a whole home or office - for a matter of hours or indefinitely.
		If you are at home, it's a great comfort to be able to have the radio or TV on to find out what is happening in the outside world, to have a few lights remain on and keep the food in the refrigerator from spoiling.
		We have solutions that integrate a small, gas-powered DC generator to keep the batteries charged for as long as propane or natural gas is available.

	PM: INSTALLING A BACKUP GENERATOR: MARCH 98
		While an inexpensive portable generator will power the TV and a lamp or two, what's really needed is a unit that's large enough to keep a few important circuits running.
		The output of a generator is rated in watts, and this figure indicates the maximum total power draw of all the fixtures and appliances being served.
		All that remains is to install 10/4 cable that connects the new panel to the outdoor receptacle that serves as a hookup for the generator.

	Power Outages and Emergency Backup Generators
		When considering a generator, be aware that they are noisy, emit deadly carbon monoxide fumes, have to be properly installed and operated, and the fuel (gas, diesel, propane) is dangerous to store.
		Generators are available in power output ranges, from a small 800-watt unit with handles, to huge units to power a hospital during a power outage (1500 kilowatt or more).
		Generators that operate from gasoline are the least expensive, but are louder, and wear out faster than diesel, propane, or natural gas generators.

	Backup Power Generator
		During a power outage the transfer switch is operated and the generator is started, thereby providing power to the critical loads in the house.
		Total costs for this type of installation are typically in the $3,000 to $7,000 range, with manual start gasoline generators at the lower end and autostart propane/NG generators at the higher end.
		Since they don't require complicated carburetion, propane generators are also good solutions for remote backup systems.

	Home generator installation
		Backup power is supplied for the well pump (240V), septic pump, furnace (heat and domestic hot water), fridge, freezer, bedroom and bathroom lights, kitchen and hall lights, kitchen plugs (2 circuits), microwave, and rec room.
		Due to the manner in which the 120V/240V selector is wired in these generators, I would recommend against using a jumper plug to supply a neutral to ground bonding connection.
		It appears both generators use a floating neutral, thus masking the problem until the generator is actually connected to a load.

	Choosing a Backup Generator (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
		Typically such a generator is mounted on a concrete pad and connected directly to your home's electrical circuits via an automatic transfer switch that starts the generator during a flout and shuts it off when grid power returns (more on transfer switches later).
		Most generators have four primary parts: an engine that provides the mechanical energy; an alternator that converts the mechanical energy into electricity; an output/control panel that houses electrical outlets, circuit breakers and switches; and a frame to hold all the components together.
		Keep your generator ready for use by starting and testing it on a regular basis (once a month is a good rule of thumb); some permanent standby generators have an automatic "exercise" feature for this task.

	Howstuffworks "How Emergency Power Systems Work"
		They are relatively inexpensive (typical price for a 5,000-watt generator ranges between $600 and $1,200), produce clean, 120- or 240-volt sine-wave power, and consume only about a gallon of gas every two hours or so (at 1,000-watt output).
		This generator has a 10-horsepower engine and a 5,000-watt generator with a surge rating of 6,500 watts.
		To run an inverter with a capacity greater than 300 watts from a car, you need to connect it directly to the car's battery with cables, and you will need to run the car's engine continuously.

	Positive Energy : Backup Power Solutions
		A large, high quality, propane- or natural gas-fueled generator that is built for "prime" (continuous duty) or "standby" power, rather than construction use, and is permanently installed and interconnected with the home wiring, will solve most of these problems.
		Running a generator to supply power to a single light bulb or the furnace fan makes for highly inefficient operation, and rapidly depletes the fuel supply.
		Second, generators last longest when the two legs of 120 volts AC each that make up their 240 volt AC output are "in balance"; that is, when the load is the same on each leg.

	Generator Backup Sizing
		Most engine driven generators will start a motor with up to 1/5th the horsepower of the engine, if it is the first load connected.
		To reduce chances for THD problems, the rule of thumb is to select a backup generator kW size at least three times the kW of non-linear loads to be powered.
		For applications that are approaching generator ratings, the actual nameplate load data, or better yet measured data, should be used to ensure an adequately sized unit.

		Portable generator owners usually employ a series of extension cords to connect the generator to specific items in their house, such as a refrigerator, lights, computer, and TV.
		Stationary generators start at about 500 lbs and are designed with a weather protective housing that mounts outdoors on a level surface.
		This type of generator employs an automatic transfer switch which monitors the incoming power and switches the generator on and off as needed.

	Diesel Generators with Backup Power Generator and Industrial Generators (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
		Gasoline engines generally use either carburetion, in which the air and fuel is mixed long before the air enters the cylinder, or port fuel injection, in which the fuel is injected just prior to the intake stroke (outside the cylinder).
		Note that the diesel generator engine has no spark plug, that it intakes air and compresses it, and that it then injects the fuel directly into the combustion chamber (direct injection).
		The injector on a diesel generator engine is its most complex component and has been the subject of a great deal of experimentation -- in any particular engine it may be located in a variety of places.

		With the backup, it's important that a third party cannot restore utility power because of the phase issues between the utility and the generator.
		Before starting the generator, either check the fuel and oil levels, or verify that this was done AFTER the last generator run.
		With the generator OFF, and the dryer breaker OFF, unplug the cord between the generator and the dryer outlet (remove it from the dryer outlet first).

	Connecting a backup generator. - Self Help Forums
		After hurricane Frances, I had several people in my neighborhood run their generators by connecting them to their 200V 30A dryer plugs, and ran this way for a week with no problems.
		In addition, your connection to the house through the transfer switch needs four conductors, as the neutral to ground connection within the generator must be disconnected unless you not only switch the two hot conductors but the neutral too.
		I personally feel that a HUGE label should be placed on each and every generator sold reminding that the owner bears any and all responsibility to hook up the generator properly.
