Features

Enclosure

  • ALUMINUM WEATHER PROTECTIVE ENCLOSURE: Ensures protection against mother nature. Electrostatically applied textured epoxy paint for added durability.
  • ENCLOSED CRITICAL GRADE MUFFLER: Quiet, critical grade muffler is mounted inside the unit to prevent injuries.
  • SMALL, COMPACT, ATTRACTIVE: Makes for an easy, eye appealing installation.
  • SAE: Sound attenuated enclosure ensures quiet operation.

Features

  • BEST IN CLASS GENERAC DESIGNED & BUILT, 4.5L ENGINE: Purpose-built exclusively for generator use & designed from the ground up by Generac and made in Wisconsin. Utilizes the first in class, dual-valve ultra-low pressure fuel delivery system and intelligent proprietary engine controls that manage over 100 performance functions to ensure peak efficiency. Generac is one of the only manufacturers to design & produce a complete generator which includes our own engine, alternator, fuel system, controller and enclosure in the U.S.
  • ALTERNATOR EXCELLENCE: Excellent Motor Starting Capability - Motors start without issue upon initial startup. Key for homes and businesses with a large amount of motor load (e.g. air conditioning, process equipment, etc.).
  • LESS THAN 5% TOTAL HARMONIC DISTORTION (THD): Safe for sensitive electronics.
  • GENERAC DESIGNS ITS HIGH-EFFICIENCY ALTERNATOR: Insuring industry-leading surge protection, performance, and longevity.
  • FUEL PERFORMANCE: Engine requires up to 25% less fuel at full load and makes power with lowest fuel pressure in the industry (3.5” of Natural Gas)
  • MOBILE LINK™ CONNECTIVITY: Mobile Link™ Connectivity allows you to monitor the status of your generator from anywhere in the world using a smartphone, tablet or PC. Easily access information, such as the current operating status and the generator’s maintenance schedule. Connect your account to an authorized service dealer for fast, friendly and convenient assistance. With Mobile Link, your generator is taken care of before the next outage.
  • 5-YEAR LIMITED WARRANTY: Consistent with the Protector Series lineup, 5-year limited warranty is standard through 80kW.
  • INNOVATIVE DESIGN & PROTOTYPE TESTING: are key components of GENERAC’S success in “IMPROVING POWER BY DESIGN.” But it doesn’t stop there. Total commitment to component testing, reliability testing, environmental testing, destruction and life testing, plus testing to applicable CSA, NEMA, EGSA, and other standards, allows you to choose GENERAC POWER SYSTEMS with the confidence that these systems will provide superior performance.
  • TEST CRITERIA: Prototype tested, NEMA MG1-22 evaluation, System torsional tested, Motor starting ability
  • SOLID-STATE, FREQUENCY COMPENSATED VOLTAGE REGULATION: This state-of-the-art power maximizing regulation system is standard on all Generac models. It provides optimized FAST RESPONSE to changing load conditions and MAXIMUM MOTOR STARTING CAPABILITY by electronically torque-matching the surge loads to the engine. Digital voltage regulation at ±1%.
  • SINGLE SOURCE SERVICE RESPONSE: From Generac’s extensive dealer network provides parts and service know-how for the entire unit, from the engine to the smallest electronic component.
  • GENERAC TRANFER SWITCHES.: Long life and reliability are synonymous with GENERAC POWER SYSTEMS. One reason for this confidence is the GENERAC product line is offered with its own transfer systems and controls for total system compatibility.
