The Difference Between Backup Generators and Portable Generators

Portable generators and backup generators are significantly different. A clear difference lies in their names; Portable generators can be carried with you to any place that requires electricity, whether it's camping or work. On the other hand, backup generators are designed to be located in one place, without any handles or wheels to move them, but connected to the house's electrical circuit through related circuits.

Portable generators will be very small and will have a small engine that can provide power for a short period of time, which is only suitable for essential items to operate during power outages. The backup generator is designed for long-term power supply and can supply power to almost all household appliances.

Another difference is that when you need power, you must manually turn on and off the portable generator, and regularly check them for any malfunctions that require regular maintenance to ensure a long lifespan. However, if we talk about backup generators, then because they are always connected to the house's electrical circuit, they feel the power condition on the utility lines. If there is a power outage, the backup generator will automatically start, and when it returns, the generator will automatically shut down.

In addition, automatic generators perform automatic testing on them and notify users if there are any issues with the system, so there is no need for manual inspection.

When it comes to portable generators, they need to operate outdoors. If used indoors, the exhaust gases emitted by these generators accumulate and can be fatal if inhaled. If they are outside, there is a risk of theft. But for backup generators, due to their heavy weight, they are not very attractive to thieves.

In addition, if you want to run a portable generator as a backup, you must first accumulate fuel, which often evaporates. This does not always provide fresh fuel. For backup generators, they can be directly connected to existing propane or natural gas supplies in your house, and they will be ready at any time when you want them to work.
