Generators running in parallel means that two or more units (or a single unit and the mains supply), of the same or different sizes are running with their output cables connected onto a single electrical bus. The process of getting generators to run in parallel is called synchronising. Synchronising generators involves matching the frequency and voltage waveforms of each unit prior to closing an output circuit breaker to combine the electrical supplies together.

What is an SAE Flywheel Size? SAE stands for "Society of Automotive Engineers", this is an American organisation that sets standards for engineering professionals. Just one of the standards it sets are those of flywheel housings and flywheels on engines. Engine flywheel housings in the generator industry are usually directly coupled to single bearing alternators, which therefore must have the same sizes as the engine. The flywheel housing is static and sits around the outside of the flywheel. The flywheel is the part of the engine that spins and transmits the power to the alternator.

An ATS is not essential, however, if the application of the generator is standby to emergency lights or a lift for example, then the ATS will be highly recommended, as it ensures the smooth operation, and switch from mains power to the generator, then once the main power is backup and working, it will transfer the power from the generator. If for example the generator is being used to run a piece of specific machinery within a workshop, simply using the control module will suffice. You may also not require an ATS if the generator is wired into a switchboard.

Power generators are basically small power plants. They allow their owners to generate electricity on site, as a substitute or complement to electricity from the electric grid. Power generators and large thermal power plants operate on the same principle: both burn fuel to create motion, or mechanical energy, and convert it into electrical energy. Generators have two main components: an internal combustion engine and an alternator.
