Charger operation during generator backup
Generator capacity and transfer arrangements need separate consideration from normal utility charging. A new charging circuit should not be assumed suitable for every existing backup configuration.
Provide the charger model and any automatic charging schedule. Discuss what happens when utility power returns, including whether charging should resume while other household equipment is restarting.
Should charging operate during backup use?
Charging can add substantial demand to a limited generator supply. A circuit's normal utility operation does not establish how it should behave within the transfer arrangement.
Define charging as included or excluded from the outage plan. MKB can review the actual equipment and any relevant control provisions, keeping normal charging installation separate from generator-capability and transfer-coverage decisions.
Details to include with this request
- Generator arrangement
