A Standby Generator is an engine-driven generator set that starts on loss of utility power to supply the facility until normal power returns. Sized to carry critical and often full site load, it typically starts and accepts load within seconds to a minute while the UPS bridges the gap, forming the second layer of data-center power resilience.
