(15%) Standby power is electricity used by appliances and equipment while they are switched off or not performing their primary function. That power is consumed by power supplies (the black cubes sometimes called vampires converting ac into dc), the circuits and sensors needed to receive a remote signal, soft keypads and displays including miscellaneous led status lights. Standby power use is also caused by circuits that continue to be energized even when the device is off. The need for standby generation arises if the consequences of a failure or disruption of the normal supply are not acceptable. The types of installation in which the need arises seem to be limitless. There are basically four reasons for installing standby generation: safety, security, financial loss, and data loss.
