Most larger generators utilize a transfer switch that transfers the load to
the generator. They typically have voltage and frequency sensing circuitry
that won't allow transfer until the generator is "at speed". Levels of
sophistication vary, and a time delay in the transfer process for connect,
and reconnect are usually favored. This will allow decay in various load
circuits to happen, and prevent some of the spiking that would otherwise
occur.
