When that storm knocked out everyone\u2019s power, your standby generator sprung into action instantly, and <\/span>ran smoothly and quietly<\/span><\/a> in the background while you went about daily life.\u00a0 Eventually the storm cleared, power was restored for everyone, and your backup power was no longer needed.\u00a0 Perfect, right?<\/span><\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>

That\u2019s exactly how it\u2019s supposed to work, <\/span>unless <\/span><\/i>your generator didn\u2019t shut off<\/span> after the utility power was restored.\u00a0 A whole-home generator that doesn\u2019t shut off automatically is a problem.\u00a0 Not only does it waste energy and money and subject your unit to unnecessary wear and tear, but it\u2019s also dangerous.\u00a0 At this point, your generator is (fixably) damaged.<\/span><\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>

If your standby generator didn\u2019t shut off automatically once power was restored, OR if it did shut off but hydro power never came back on, the problem was that the transfer switch failed.\u00a0 Typically, lightning strikes introduced surges of current into the main line, which damaged the primary utility coil and the control board in your transfer switch.\u00a0 What you see at your panel may look something like this:<\/span><\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>

\"damaged<\/span><\/p>

\"damaged<\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>

This burst of current can damage what\u2019s in your home, too.\u00a0 Lightning strikes and utility switching can cause voltage transients and power surges in the electrical grid. These surges travel through distribution lines and into homes and <\/span>businesses<\/span><\/a>, damaging sensitive appliances and devices and shortening their life. Many transients go undetected, but over time contribute to sudden and inexplicable failures of electrical equipment. Products susceptible to damage include mobile phones, computers, TVs, appliances, smart home devices, and lighting fixtures.<\/span><\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>

Repairing a failed transfer switch involves replacing the control board, wiring harness, and utility coil of your generator.<\/span><\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>

Preventing transfer-switch failure in the future involves installing what\u2019s called a surge protector.<\/span><\/p>
