1. What is a Standby or Emergency Generator?
A Standby generator is an automatic backup power system that activates within seconds when a utility power outage occurs.
Its main function is to maintain power supply to critical loads in homes, businesses, hospitals, or industrial facilities.
At Atlantic Power, we offer solutions with Automatic Transfer Switches (ATS) and remote monitoring for maximum safety and convenience.
Contact our advisors to design your ideal system.
2. What is the difference between a Standby (ESP) and a Prime (PRP) generator?
According to ISO 8528 standards:
Standby (ESP – Emergency Standby Power):
Used exclusively for emergencies.
Provides maximum power output without overload.
Limited to approximately 200 hours per year.
Ideal for backup during utility outages.
Prime (PRP – Prime Rated Power):
Designed for continuous or variable load operation.
No annual hour limitation.
Allows 10% overload for 1 hour every 12 hours.
Recommended for remote sites or industries without reliable grid access.
Our experts will help you choose the correct classification for your needs.
3. How do I choose the right generator size?
Proper sizing is essential for safety, efficiency, and reliability. Key factors include:
Total critical load (kW / kVA).
Peak starting currents.
Type of use (ESP or PRP).
Site altitude and ambient temperature.
Local codes and regulations.
Atlantic Power provides free load studies using specialized software.

4. What does ESP mean in ISO 8528?
ESP (Emergency Standby Power) refers to generators designed for:
Providing power during unexpected outages.
Intermittent use, up to 200 hours per year.
No overload capacity.
Not suitable for continuous operation.
Ideal for hospitals, data centers, businesses, and homes.
Atlantic Power offers ESP-certified generator models.
5. What does PRP mean in ISO 8528?
PRP (Prime Rated Power) refers to generators intended for:
Continuous or variable load operation.
No hourly usage limit.
Supports 10% overload for 1 hour every 12 hours.
Recommended for industrial and off-grid applications.
We offer technical guidance to help you choose between PRP and ESP.
6. What factors affect generator sizing?
When selecting a generator, consider:
Required load capacity (kW / kVA).
Load types (motors, lighting, electronics).
Starting current requirements.
Application type (hospital, industrial, residential).
Site conditions (altitude, temperature).
Local codes and fuel autonomy.
Atlantic Power offers customized sizing with expert technical support.
7. What is the lifespan of a generator?
Typical generator lifespan:
15 to 30 years with proper maintenance.
5,000 to 10,000 hours of operation depending on brand and usage.
Preventive maintenance and remote monitoring are key to extending service life.
Atlantic Power offers 24/7 monitoring to maximize generator performance.
8. What type of fuel do generators use?
Depending on the model and application, generators may run on:
Diesel, due to its reliability and cost efficiency.
Natural gas, as a cleaner and environmentally friendly alternative.
LPG, available in specific models.
Atlantic Power helps you select the most suitable fuel option for your project.
9. What is an Automatic Transfer Switch (ATS)?
An ATS (Automatic Transfer Switch) enables seamless switching between utility power and generator power, including:
Automatic outage detection.
Generator start-up without manual intervention.
Load transfer from utility to generator.
Automatic return to utility when power is restored.
We integrate smart ATS systems for fast and secure transitions.
10. Can a generator be monitored remotely?
