Power Outage! How Long it Takes for a Generator to Start
How Long it Takes for Automatic Emergency Generator Power to Start During a Power Outage
If utility power goes out, the (ATS) Automatic Transfer Switch is going to tell the generator to start. The generator will start (come up to speed) and the ATS will monitor it verify voltage and frequency and then it will transfer over. This will typically happen within 10 seconds.
