A stand by generator is a generator that is designed to be available when it is needed.
The stand by generator is standing by ready to provide power when it is needed.
Most stand by generators have built in exerciser circuits that start the unit at a predefined time where they start and run for a set period of time.
This feature makes sure that the stand by generator is being tested regularly for dependability.
