The come in varying capacities and have optional generators that work in conjunction with these systems. If the power goes out the UPS comes on line. If the UPS gets to a certain point it will automatically fire up the generator. Capacities vary and the largest ones are diesel only - you probably only need the gasoline units. You don't have to do a thing, and since it's a complete system you know that it will as a unit. Bill -- bill@bilver.magicnet.net | bill@bilver.com
