Product Description
A standby generator system
is a package of equipment
specifically designed to
provide substitute electrical
power to a residence in the
event of a utility power
outage. These systems are
comprised of a generator,
transfer switch and the
connections necessary for
installation. Eaton’s standby
generator line consists of
air-cooled and liquid-cooled
models ranging from 8000
watts up to 150,000 watts.
Air-Cooled Standby
Eaton’s air-cooled generators
range from 8 to 22 kW and
these units are perfect for
automatically backing up
every circuit within a home
such as air
conditioner units,
refrigerators,
lighting, furnace
fans, sump pumps and water
pumps.
Eaton’s air-cooled standby
generators offer fully
automatic operation and
provide most homeowners
with enough power for
complete whole house
comfort. These units all
operate at ultra quiet
66 dB, or less, sound level.
Liquid-Cooled Standby
Eaton’s liquid-cooled
generators feature automotive
style engines that range from
22 to 150 kW of power
output. These units run so
quietly that you’ll forget that
you own a generator until you
need it. These units are
available in steel or aluminum
enclosures and are available in
single- and three-phase in four
voltages: 120/240 V, single-
phase; 120/208 V, three-
phase; 240 V, three-phase;
and 277/480 V, three-phase.
Application Description
Standby generator systems
are most often used in
residential, agricultural
and light commercial
applications. Comfort and
safety are key concerns
of many homeowners
who are dependent on
an uninterrupted supply
of electricity.
The increase in our
dependence on power is
due in part to the popularity of
home offices and in-home
health care. Many regions of
the United States experience
periodic power outages
due to extreme weather
conditions such as ice and
snowstorms, heat waves,
tornadoes or hurricanes.
Eaton highly recommends
that any generator system
be installed by a qualified
electrician and/or generator
installer.
