Features

Digital Controls

  • MULTIPLE LED ANNUNCIATION: Provides specific system information without having to open the generator enclosure.
  • AUTO / OFF / MANUAL BUTTONS: Select the operating mode.
  • UTILITY VOLTAGE SENSING: Constantly monitors utility voltage, setpoints 65% dropout, 80% pick-up, of standard voltage.
  • UTILITY INTERRUPT DELAY: Prevents nuisance start-ups of the engine, setpoint approximately 5 seconds.
  • ENGINE WARM-UP: Ensures engine is ready to assume the load, setpoint approximately 6 seconds.
  • ENGINE COOL-DOWN: Allows engine to cool prior to shutdown, setpoint approximately 1 minute.
  • COLD SMART START: If the ambient temperature is cold, allows the engine to warm up before load is applied.
  • SEVEN DAY EXERCISER: Operates engine to prevent oil seal drying and damage between power outages. (Adjustable to bi-weekly or monthlythrough the Mobile Link™ system - sold separately)
  • SMART BATTERY CHARGER: Maintains battery charge level to ensure starting.
  • MAIN LINE CIRCUIT BREAKER: Protects generator from overload.
  • MULTIPLE PROTECTION FEATURES: Prevents additional damage from occurring within the generator if a fault condition arises.

Engine

  • GENERAC (OHV) DESIGN: Maximizes engine “breathing” for increased fuel efficiency. Plateau honed cylinder walls and plasma moly rings helpsthe engine run cooler, reducing oil consumption resulting in longer engine life.
  • CAST IRON CYLINDER WALLS: Rigid construction and added durability provide long engine life.
  • LOW OIL PRESSURE SHUTDOWN SYSTEM: Shutdown protection prevents catastrophic engine damage due to low oil.
  • HIGH TEMPERATURE SHUTDOWN: Prevents damage due to overheating.

Features

  • Powers 8 circuits of your home with the 50-amp, NEMA 1 (indoor rated only) lightweight transfer switch.
  • 3 Year Limited Warranty for automatic standby generators.
  • True Power™ Technology delivers best-in-class power quality with less than 5 percent total harmonic distortion for clean, smooth operation of sensitive electronics and appliances.
  • Generac generators and engines are engineered and built in the USA*. (*Assembled in the USA using domestic and foreign parts.)
  • Generac OHV engine is designed for reliability and long-life operation.
  • 24/7/365 Customer Support Team standing by all day, every day from our headquarters in Wisconsin to answer any questions you might have.
  • Durable powder-coat finish helps make the sturdy, galvanneal steel enclosure perfect for all weather conditions.
  • 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.
  • POWERPACT: Offers an extreme value for those who desire automatic backup power at the most affordable price.
  • TRUE POWER™ ELECTRICAL TECHNOLOGY: Superior harmonics and sine wave form produce less than 5% Total Harmonic Distortion for utility quality power. This allows confident operation of sensitive electronic equipment and micro-chip based appliances, such as variable speed HVAC systems.
  • SINGLE SOURCE SERVICE RESPONSE: From Generac’s extensive dealernetwork provides parts and service know-how for the entire unit, from the engine to the smallest electronic component.
  • GENERAC TRANSFER SWITCHES: Long life and reliability are synonymous with GENERAC POWER SYSTEMS. One reason for this confidence is that the GENERAC product line is offered with its own transfer systems and controls for total system compatibility.

Generator

  • REVOLVING FIELD: Allows for a smaller, light weight unit that operates 25% more efficiently than a revolving armature generator.
  • SKEWED STATOR: Produces a smooth output waveform for compatibility with electronic equipment.
  • DISPLACED PHASE EXCITATION: Maximizes motor starting capability.
  • AUTOMATIC VOLTAGE REGULATION: Regulates the output voltage to ±5% prevents damaging voltage spikes.
  • UL 2200 LISTED: For your safety.

Installation System

  • 14 IN (35.6 CM) FLEXIBLE FUEL LINE CONNECTOR: Listed ANSI Z21.75/CSA 6.27 outdoor appliance connector for the required connection to the gas supply piping.

Transfer Switch

  • FULLY AUTOMATIC: Transfers vital electrical loads to the energized source of power.
  • REMOTE MOUNTING: Mounts near existing distribution panel for simple, low cost installation.
  • FLUSH MOUNTABLE: Can be installed between studs like a standard electrical panel.
