  1. Generator Installation : A step by step Guide

  2. Generator Installation at Home Generator Generators are useful appliances that supply electrical power during a power outage and prevent discontinuity of daily activities or disruption of business operations. Generators are available in different electrical and physical configurations for use in different applications. How Does A Generator Works? An electric generator is a device that converts mechanical energy obtained from an external source into electrical energy as the output. Here is a step by step guide to install a generator at home

  3. Generator Installation Steps • Choosing a site • Installing a Generator • Connecting Fuel and Electrical • Simulating an Outage

  4. 1 Choosing a site

  5. When considering the location for your generator, you will want to find a stable area that is well-drained and does not flood. Keep in mind that the generator can be no closer than 3 feet from utility meters, air conditioning units, combustibles or anything serviceable. And the closer the site is to the electric meter and the natural gas supply line, the more you'll save on installation.

  6. 2 Installing a Generator

  7. Prior to placing the generator, the site needs to be prepared. Usually this is achieved by putting down a bed of pea gravel or pouring a cement slab. Your installer will make sure the placement allows for all the right clearances (18" from the house, 60" from doors, windows and fresh air intakes, 36" in front to allow for a technician to perform any future checkups or maintenance).

  8. 3 Connecting Fuel and Electrical

  9. With the generator itself in place, a transfer switch will be installed next to your main breaker box (in some cases it may replace the breaker box entirely). Wiring is then run, in conduit, between the generator and the breaker box. Then the fuel line gets installed.

  10. 4 Simulating an Outage

  11. Once installation is complete, your dealer will simulate an outage to make sure your new generator and transfer switch work exactly as they should in the event of a power outage. The final step is setting up your generator's "exercise," a weekly test run to ensure that everything is in good working order and ready for a power outage.
