17
Q

NFPA 37 Section 4

A

specifies generator clearances for outdoor installation.

18
Q

What is Running Watts?

A

power that the generator can supply all the time. Also called rated watts or continuous watts.

19
Q

What is Starting Watts?

A

extra watts needed for 2 or 3 seconds to start motor-driven products like refrigerator or circular saw. This is the maximum wattage the generator can produce. Also called inrush current, surge watts or peak watts.

20
Q

clean burning, available as a liquid or vapor, stored in pressurized containers that require refilling.

A

Propane

21
Q

most cost effective and readily available, delivered through pipelines so refueling is not necessary, less energy efficient per gallon than most , not for indoor use.

A

Natural Gas

22
Q

good choice for portable generators, this can last for up to 3 yrs if properly stored and combined with fuel stabilizer.

A

Gasoline

23
Q

high durability, long life, readily available, hard starting in cold weather, and offers the most energy per gallon. Last for 6 months to 1 yr.

A

Diesel

24
Q

can burn gasoline/diesel and has a natural gas hook up, as well as flexibility for long - term and short - term use based on available fuels.

A

Bi Fuel

25
Q

a self - acting, intelligent power switching device governed by dedicated control logic.

A

Automatic Transfer Switch

26
Q

only powering partial circuits to your home, you will need a center load (panel)

A

Load Center Automatic Transfer Switch

27
Q

powering your whole house with generator, install between utilities meter and main panel.

A

Service Rated

28
Q

a device that converts mechanical energy to electrical energy

A

Generator

29
Q

offer a steadfast solution to extended outages

A

Standby Generators

30
Q

installed permanently on a concrete pad in your building and will provide uninterrupted backup for days

A

Standby Generators

31
Q

safely off the grid, the switch starts up the generator before transferring its power to the buidling’s electrical panel.

A

Hz

32
Q

two main parts of generator?

A

coil, magnet

33
Q

generator set which consists of an engine coupled with a generator that it drives.

A

Engine

34
Q

the component in the emergency and standby power system that transfers power from the “normal” power source to the alternate power source when the “normal” source of power fails.

A

Transfer switch

35
Q

The reliability is paramount in emergency and standby
power applications. A common cause of engine generator sets
failure to start is a battery failure.

A

Battery System

36
Q

Both engines and the generator require panels for displaying
operating conditions and for mounting the controls, providing
protection and displaying alarms.

A

Controls

37
Q

A typical fuel system consists of a day tank and a bulk storage tank.

A

Fuel storage and pumping system

38
Q

A means of providing an unimpeded
flow of fresh outside air into the generator is necessary and
serves two purposes

A

Air Supply and Exhaust

39
Q

sets are available from several hundred
watts to about 100 kW

A

Petrol Engine

40
Q

sets are available for just under 100 kW to
10,000 kW.

A

Diesel Engine

41
Q

sets are available up to 10,000 kW.

A

Gas Turbine/Engine
