STANDBY GENERATORS UK
A standby generator protects a site when the mains electricity supply fails. Ferbo backup generators can be configured for automatic operation, helping commercial, agricultural and industrial facilities maintain essential power during an outage.

A properly designed standby-power system monitors the incoming mains supply. When a failure is detected, the generator starts and an automatic transfer switch moves the essential electrical load onto generator power. When stable utility power returns, the system transfers back and completes a controlled cool-down.
02
Backup diesel generators are used where an interruption could stop production, damage stock, interrupt communications or compromise safety. Typical applications include offices, workshops, farms, hospitality, healthcare support services, telecommunications and industrial facilities.
03
The standby kVA rating is only one part of the design. The proposal should also consider the largest motor start, permitted voltage dip, load steps, power factor, phase arrangement, fuel autonomy, site access, ventilation and the equipment that must remain powered during an outage.
BUYER QUESTIONS
Clear starting points for specifying a dependable Ferbo power solution.
A standby diesel generator is an alternative electrical power source intended to support a site when the normal mains supply is unavailable.
Standby power is intended for emergency use during a mains failure. Prime power is intended for regular operation with a variable load, subject to the manufacturer's stated rating conditions.
An automatic transfer switch is normally required when the generator must take over without manual intervention. The switch rating and arrangement must match the electrical system.
