Amy, re: industrial-strength power generator In another life (long ago), I worked for an electric utility. The cost to lease or purchase a stand-by generator depends on the load you would expect to carry on the generator. They are quite expensive (and quite large). As for plug-n-play, definitely not. Once installed, they automatically kick in when loss of line voltage is detected, but the installation to achieve this requires a substantial modification to the facility's electric service. If your firm relies on power for mission critical loads, it may be worth looking into. It's a fairly straightforward cost/benefit analysis to determine if the cost of downtime justifies the cost of back up power. You can check with large (industrial) electrical contractors in your area for an estimate of the plant's cost. greg
