Turns out a tree in Ohio was the cause of the problem. Our National grid in the USA is island style connected in a daisy chain of transformers, sub stations , power plants, wires and cables and when a back out occurs you are left in the dark ages.

In any given month or year there are many storm and weather related blackouts that leave millions of people without electrical power. This does not have to happen, wake up readers there is no reason to ever be left without electrical power. A switch that is called ATS automatic transfer switch monitors the grid voltage and when it senses the loss of grid electrical power it isolates itself from the grid power lines and turns on a auto start generator and produces electrical power as long as a fuel source is available. 

But there is a even better way to transfer this electrical power loss and that is with battery banking and pure sinewave microprocessor inverter electrical power with solar and wind for endless charging options. ATS is still required to isolated from grid power lines but the benefits here are that the transfers are so fast that computer and clock resets are not required.

Example the grid power goes off line and the electrical transfer automatically transfers power to inverter power. Even without adding the solar and wind for charging but just by having the battery banking and pure sinewave microprocessor inverter electrical power backed up by auto start generator for battery bank charging. This setup can stop the auto start generator from running 24/7 and only needs to start when the batteries need charging or for high demand 240 volt loads like electric cook stoves and electric water heaters, clothes dryers, ect. 
The best way to size your power backup system is to match your Main Breaker Panel rating .  The reason for this match is that it is business as usual when the grid power loss happens and the neighborhood is left in the dark your entire power source will be operating as designed to your grid Main Breaker Panel amperage rating.

Live your life as usual and turn on all the lights and watch all the tv sets while the rest of the neighborhood is banging on your door to be let inside. And if you need some consulting on how to get this done just drop me a email and I will show you how easy it is.
