Generators 101:
HOW IT WORKS



1. Before the power goes out
Your automatic transfer switch (ATS) monitors the electricity
coming from the utility. It’s working 24/7 to protect your home.
2. The power goes out
When the power fails or drops below an acceptable level
(brownout), the ATS signals the generator to start. In seconds,
the ATS transfers your power from the utility to the generator.
3. Your generator powers your home
The generator supplies your home or business with electricity
until the utility power is restored.
4. The utility power returns
When the utility power is restored, the ATS automatically transfers
your power source from the generator to the utility
5. Your generator turns off
Your KOHLER® generator automatically shuts down, ready
for the next power outage.
