For More Information Contact EWEB Energy Management Services if you have questions or would like additional information. Generator Basics Generators take mechanical energy from a spinning shaft and turn it into electrical energy. For most home applications, the mechanical energy is supplied from an internal combustion engine.
Generators are available in many sizes, voltages, and fuel types.
Sizing a generator for your application is a critical step and should be done in consultation with a reputable generator supplier or a licensed electrician. Portable generators are typically used to power tools or equipment in locations where no utility power is available. Permanent generators are installed in homes and businesses to provide backup power during electrical outages.
