What are the types of electric generators?
There are two basic types of generators available: standby generators and portable generators. Electrical inverters are also available , which are not a type of generator but may meet your needs. Your choice of backup power source is affected by many factors, including your power requirements.
-
Backup power generators:
These generators usually provide between 7,000 to 20,000 watts to provide electrical power 24/7 in the event of a complete power outage, so that these generators automatically provide power to your home until power is restored. Backup power generators are professionally installed allowing fuel to be drawn from available natural gas or propane supply lines. The cost of home backup power generators ranges between $1,800 and $40,000, and their installation often requires professional specialists after obtaining the necessary permits from the relevant authorities.
The number of circuits a standby generator can supply—and the number of devices that can run on those circuits—is determined by the carrying capacity of the standby generator.
Standby generators are usually fully enclosed and vary in size. You should check the dimensions of the generator carefully to suit your needs. The cost of a backup generator may range from $1,500 to $15,000 or more – with the cost of a backup generator rising as capacity increases.

Portable power generators:
Portable power generators can be used to provide limited power during power outages such as storms, outdoor job sites, or during recreational activities such as camping. When choosing the right electric generator for you, it is necessary to take into account the desired electrical power, in addition to the number of operating hours, the size of the generator, and the ease of transporting it. Portable power generators range in capacity from 1,000 to 10,000 watts . Its cost ranges from $100 to $3,000 depending on special features and wattage capacity.

Electrical transformers - power generators:
Electrical inverters are ideal for use during camping, boating, or ATV trips , as they have a smaller capacity, usually between 800-3,000 watts . These transformers are also in high demand because of the smart, clean energy they provide, rather than their low sound, high efficiency, and ideal size. The cost of electrical transformers ranges from $200 to $3,000.
