With any rental of an engine-driven piece of equipment, breakdowns are certainly a possibility. For those cases where an extended loss of power is not an option on a generator rental, we can utilize a backup generator and an automatic transfer switch (ATS). In this scenario, our backup generator can be wired into the system through the automatic transfer switch that will autonomously start the backup generator in the case where the primary fails, and power is lost. An automatic transfer switch is also great in applications where temporary power is applied during emergency power outages because the generator will automatically stop once power is restored.
