What are the main components to adding a generator to my facility?

First, you must decide what you want to backup – select equipment, entire building, etc. Second, you must determine how you will connect – automatic or manual. Third, you must consider the location, which will involve permitting, EPA, local ordinances, costs, etc.

Do you have any critical systems that require a constant power feed? In that case, you may consider an Uninterruptible Power Supply-UPS, (not a substitute for the emergency generator). A professional generator sales engineer can assist you with these factors.
