Why Surge Protection Matters for Standby Generators
Your generator is designed to provide reliable backup power when utility power goes out. However, electrical surges can still occur when utility power is restored, during generator operation, or as large electrical loads switch on and off.
Adding surge protection to your electrical system can help reduce the risk of damage to your generator and connected equipment.
A properly installed surge protection system can be an important part of protecting your investment and keeping your backup power system ready when you need it most.

What Can Cause a Power Surge?
Power surges can originate from several sources, including:
Lightning
Lightning and surge energy can enter or travel through multiple conductive paths associated with a structure. These may include electrical systems and other conductive infrastructure, such as metal or rebar and plumbing or water-related systems.
The path and effects vary with the event and the structure. Whole-home surge protection provides a first layer of protection, not a guarantee against every lightning or electrical event.

Utility power fluctuations
Problems with the electrical grid, power restoration, or utility equipment can create voltage spikes.
Electrical Equipment
Large motors, HVAC systems, pumps, and other electrical equipment can create smaller surges when they turn on and off.
Generator Transfer & Power Restoration
The transition between utility power and generator power—and the restoration of utility power—can create electrical events that may affect sensitive equipment.
