Product Description
Whereas permanently
installed standby systems are
designed for larger homes,
small businesses or
secondary residences,
portable generators are
primarily used for smaller
homes, essential loads,
construction sites, camping,
tailgating and wherever
portable temporary power
is required.
Application Description
Portable generator systems
are primarily used for smaller
homes or for construction
sites where temporary power
is required. Permanently
installed standby systems
are designed for larger
homes, small businesses
or secondary residences,
such as vacation homes
and cabins, that require
uninterrupted power for
critical loads.
As the name indicates and
due to physical size and
weight, portable generators
can easily be transported
from one location to another.
Designed for outdoor use
only, common applications
vary from homes to camping
to construction sites,
providing backup power
everywhere electrical power
is needed.
