Emergency Generators.

 

Residential emergency generators are designed to be used only in times where there are major power outages and there is a need for electrical power. Usually after major natural disasters or power outages, an emergency generator can provide safety and comfort to home owners while being without one can lead to many discomforts, especially in cold winter days or really hot heat waves.

 

 

 

 

What is Emergency Power System. Read more>>>

 

Emergency power systems are a type of system, which may include lighting, generators and other apparatus, to provide backup resources in a crisis or when regular systems fail. They find uses in a wide variety of settings from residential homes to hospitals, scientific laboratories and modern naval ships. Emergency power systems can rely on generators, deep cycle batteries, Flywheel energy storage or hydrogen fuel cells[1] [2]. Finally, some homebrew emergency power systems use regular lead-acid car batteries, but these do not make a very efficient or reliable system. read more.

A wide variety of natural disasters can cause long-term power outages. Things like tornadoes, hurricanes, flooding, lightning, ice storms and blizzards can take out the power for hours or days at a time. Even something as simple as a blown transformer or a car running into a utility pole can knock out the electricity in an entire neighborhood for a day or two. read more>>>

 

 

Electronic Power Protenction. Read more>>>

 

Computers, communication networks and other modern electronic devices need not only power, but also a steady flow of it to continue to operate. If the source voltage drops significantly or drops out completely these devices will fail, even if it is for a fraction of a second. Because of this, even a generator back-up does not provide protection because of the start-up time involved. read more.

 

 

Understanding your power needs, Read more>>>

 

In order to choose the right emergency power source and to size it properly, you need to understand something about the power requirements of the devices you plan to operate.

The basic unit of power measurement is the watt, and with an emergency power source there are two wattage ratings that are important: steady-state wattage and surge wattage. A normal 60-watt incandescent light bulb requires, as you would expect, 60 watts, and it requires that wattage both when you turn it on and while it is running. A ceiling fan motor, on the other hand, might require 150 watts to get it started and 75 watts while it is running. That extra wattage to start the motor is called the surge wattage and is typical of anything that contains an electric motor. Here are the usual wattages of some of the devices found in a typical household:
