When was the last time you had a Power outage in STT???
I am asking you this because this morning my generator was running i left the house to go to my next door neighbors house in which he has no generator and had power. You see my generator runs my house 100% like regular power i had the A/C on and i lost no power. I know this is a stupid question do you remember the last time you had a power outage do you remember how long a go?
Power outages happen sporadically. Don't really keep tabs on them. If yours was off and your neighbor's on, chances are your didn't pay your bill and they cut it off or you have problems with your system or transfer switch. I operate my generator manually as the power usually comes on sometimes minutes later. I have a small light that comes on in the kitchen to let me know when the power is back I see no need for the automatic transfer switch.

Sorry I couldn't answer....power was out.
I just had it connected i have not even received my first bill yet. You see i had to go to wapa with the previous owner to transfer the account to my name and they ask me for a new deposit. I have a 30.KW generator with a transfer switch so it comes in automatically. But this morning i ask my neighbor and he said that generators start up by themselves for star ups every certain hours.
power was out last night on the east end. Do not know how long. I woke up cause my fan was off. came on a few min later. Could have been out for just a few min. Might have been lnog enough to kick on your generator
roki: My answer is two fold: first, the power goes out frequently enough that you opted to pay for a 30K generator with a transfer switch.;) Second, there are various kinds of power outages from very local (one feeder or even one transformer) to island-wide. As Jim72 said, we had a brief outage in our area of the east end at 2 am fro maybe 15-20 minutes, but I don't think it was island-wide.
You gotta get over it. 🙂
My last one was last Sunday. I woke up baking in sweat because my fans weren't running. Not sure what time it happened or how long it stayed off because I left as soon as I got up. Can't take that stuffy heat for too long.
Why do i have to get it over? it was a simple question
You don't! I certainly understand why you asked! Maybe they meant....Don't worry about it! I think I would want to figure it out tho, fuel is expensive and you don't want the genorator running for no reason at all!
On the North side we lost power Sunday morning from about 7am until just after 9am! We have 2 houses on the same lot, each is on a differant feeder!!! Maybe that is what happened! OR maybe the generator was doing as someone else suggested and comes on periodically for a test? I don't know anyone who has that except for the Sewer plant across the way of us. Hope you can figure it out!
I apologize roki.
