   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Standby_generator

   Standby generators. A standby generator is a back-up electrical system that operates automatically. [1] Within seconds of a utility outage an automatic transfer switch senses the power loss, commands the generator to start and then transfers the electrical load to the generator. The standby generator begins supplying power to the circuits. [2]

   A backup generator for a large apartment building A backup power fuel cell for telecom applications A portable emergency power generator in a shipping container. An emergency power system is an independent source of electrical power that supports important electrical systems on loss of normal power supply.

4. Stationary fuel-cell applications - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stationary_fuel-cell...

   Stationary fuel-cell applications (or stationary fuel-cell power systems) are applications for fuel cells that are either connected to the electric grid (distributed generation) to provide supplemental power and as emergency power system for critical areas, or installed as a grid-independent generator for on-site service.

5. Home fuel cell - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Home_fuel_cell

   Most home fuel cells are comparable to residential solar energy photovoltaic systems on a dollar-per-watt-installed basis. [citation needed] Some natural gas-driven home fuel cells can generate eight times more energy per year than the same-sized solar installation, even in the best solar locations [citation needed]. For example, a 5 kW home ...

6. Diesel generator - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diesel_generator

   A specific model of a generator operated as a standby generator may only need to operate for a few hours per year, but the same model operated as a prime power generator must operate continuously. When running, the standby generator may be operated with a specified - e.g. 10% overload that can be tolerated for the expected short running time.

7. Generator interlock kit - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Generator_Interlock_Kit

   Early generator interlock kits consisted of two sliding steel or plastic (depending on the brand) plates held together by three bolts and installed on the front cover of the home's breaker panel, however, some models made by Eaton (formerly Cutler-Hammer) and Siemens for panels manufactured by them install on the adjacent circuit breakers themselves and consist of a sliding arm for breakers ...
