What Is An emergency Power System?
 The Generac II Emergency Power System is a state-of-the-art electricity generating system designed for homes and small businesses. During a power failure, Generac II starts up automatically. Within seconds it assumes production of electricity for your entire home or business. You
don't even have to throw a switch.
The generator is permanently installed outdoors, no more conspicuous than a central air-conditioning unit. Unlike a portable generator, Generac II will run on liquid propane or natural gas, so it can be linked directly to your permanent fuel supply. You never need to manually fill a gasoline tank to have year-round, around-the-clock protection against power failures.
How Important Is Emergency Power
To Your Home Or Business?
Electricity is the lifeblood of your home. A power outage that lasts for only a few hours can be a
 terrible inconvenience. An extended power failure accompanied by storms or severe temperatures can cause flooded basements, frozen pipes, structural damage and financial hardship. Pumps, furnaces, air-conditioners, lights, stoves, hot-water heaters and refrigerators all depend on electricity to keep your home safe and secure.
The average American home may depend on electricity for more than one hundred electrical devices. Even a short interruption in electrical service can cause a great deal of discomfort and inconvenience.
But if you own a Generac II Emergency Power System, you can relax. Generac II protects life and property by supplying vital electricity when you need it most.
Why Should You Own A Generac II
Emergency Power System
In the first few seconds of a power outage, Generac II powers up automatically and begins
 supplying electric current to operate your sump pump, heating or air-conditioning, computers, appliances and security
systems. You don't even have to be there to react. Generac II senses the problem, and reacts for you.
A blackout could continue for hours. Or days. For as long as the outage lasts, you can count on reliable performance from your Generac II Emergency Power System. And when utility power is restored, you can depend on a smooth, safe transition back to the utility line. The transfer occurs automatically, and your Generac II stands ready to respond to the next emergency.
How Does The System Work?
1) The Generac Automatic Transfer Switch monitors incoming voltage from the utility line.
2) When utility power is interrupted, the Transfer Switch senses the problem and signals the generator to begin supplying electricity.
3) The utility power line is closed off and a new line to the generator opens up simultaneously. Quickly, smoothly, powerfully, your home's electrical supply is back to normal.
How Will Generac II Benefit You?
Generac II Systems are not just for homes. Because the power supply
 of your business needs protection as well, Generac builds fully integrated power Systems in a variety of output sizes.
A single extended power outage can deal a devastating blow to your business. Not only do the lighting, climate control, and alarm systems go down in a blackout, but you lose the use of computers and office machines, UPC scanners and refrigeration systems.
Many small to medium-sized businesses are finding that Generac II provides the ideal backup system for their offices, clinics, stores and service operations. During a power outage, while businesses throughout the area are forced to shut down, yours will function normally on generator power.
What Size System Do I Need?
Generac II Emergency Power Systems are available in a variety of output sizes from 5 to 25 kW. The size that will work best for you depends on the wattage requirements of your home or business.
Listed here are approximate running wattages for a number of household items. By adding up the ratings of all the items you wish to keep running during a power outage, then dividing by 1000, you will arrive at an estimate of the kW you need from your Generac II Emergency Power System.
From 5,000 To 25,000 Watts Of Power
Once you have determined the output you need from your Generac II, and the type of fuel you wish to use (gasoline, natural gas or liquid propane), you can specify the Generac II system that is right for you. A 20% safety factor is recommended to support your electrical appliances with induction motors, which require 2 to 3 times the listed watts to start.
Additional capacity also will allow you to add more circuits in the future.
To assure safe and proper installation, an authorized Generac Distributor is required.
