An auxiliary generator is a secondary power source used to provide electricity when the main generator is offline or during peak demand periods. It is commonly found in large facilities, ships, and backup power systems to ensure continuous operation and reliability. Auxiliary generators can run on various fuels and are often used to support critical systems such as lighting, communication, and emergency equipment. Their role is crucial for maintaining operational integrity in case of primary power failures.

Why does a generator need an ATS?

An ATS (Automatic Transfer Switch) is an expensive auxiliary piece of equipment and depending on the standby situation is not always used. In emergency situations when a power failure occurs certain establishments need instant recovery from no power. Hospitals, town water distribution systems fall into this category. Some of the less priority recovery establishments will use a manual transfer switch. This is where the operator will start the generator and then transfer the utility incoming power to the generator power to feed the load. Then you have the home owner generator that just needs the pull of a handle to start the generator and you just plug in the load. So to answer the question, not all generators need to be connected to an ATF, it depends on the situation the generator is used for.
