Options for commercial-grade backup power:
Professional portable generators, Towable generators, Commercial mobile generators, Commercial standby generators, and Prime Power Generators.

Professional Portable Generators pack a lot of power into a small, moveable unit that is great for local job-sites and basic remote operations. Towable Professional Generators: combine standby-level power with jobsite portability. Towable, skid-mount, and light tower options help you bring the power wherever there's a job to be done. Commercial Mobile Generators: are capable of powering everything you need for the job. Commercial Standby Generators: are permanently installed, automatic backup power that can safeguard the entire operation of your business. Prime Power Generators: For commercial applications that are off-grid and require a generator as their primary source of electricity, (not backup), Prime Power Generators are the solution.

How does a Commercial Standby Generator work?
Once installed, commercial standby generator systems automatically detect and switch on when a power failure is detected. The "brain" of the unit is its Automatic Transfer Switch, which cuts the utility line during an outage and simultaneously connects a new power line from your generator to the main panel. Power is restored within seconds. When the transfer switch detects that utility power has returned, it switches off generator power and returns to standby mode.

Built for its usage environment, a commercial standby generator is more robust than consumer models. The liquid-cooled engine is larger, the steel is thicker, and the internal components are rugged. The commercial standbys are designed to handle the higher wattages and heat associated with longer run times, making them the best solution for high-demand usage.

Commercial Generator sizing:
Sizing the commercial generator is a process with many variables. Unlike with a residential unit, it's not just a matter of adding up wattages of desired appliances.

Commercial Generator fuel:
There are several fuel options available, including natural gas, propane, gasoline, and diesel. Of these options, diesel is typically considered to be superior for heavy commercial use due to its higher power and efficiency.

Commercial Generator Power Phase:
The utility power for your business typically is three-phase which supports a larger electrical demand. Single-Phase: Smaller businesses may only require a single-phase generator. These generators produce 240 volts, matching what the utility company supplies. Single-phase generators are used for most small businesses since they only need to power basic electronics instead of heavy machinery. As a result, single-phase generators will also work in any home that has regular power needs. Three-Phase: Large manufacturing companies, farms, and other heavy-duty operations may require three-phase power for special three-phase equipment. It's best to check with your utility company first, but you'll more than likely need a three-phase generator in a commercial environment. Learn more about three-phase power.

Prime Power Generators:
For commercial applications that are off-grid and require a generator as their primary source of electricity, (not backup), Prime Power Generators are the solution. They are designed to run 24/7 with regularly-scheduled maintenance. Read More
