GENERAC

FEATURES AND BENEFITS

​

The RESIDENTIAL EMERGENCY HOME STANDBY emergency power generator is the most powerful, fully automatic, enclosed generator of its size available anywhere.  The liquid-cooled models deliver up to 45,000 watts of backup electrical power and the air-cooled models produce up to 15,000 watts.  They are quiet, reliable and loaded with special features.

UL-Listed Automatic Transfer Switch

• Automatically signals the generator to produce emergency electrical power when utility fails and disconnects when utility power returns.

• Within seconds, your generator is producing electrical power without you having to even flip a switch.  You don't have to be home for our system to work!

 

Automatic Exerciser

• Seven(7) day interval testing of the power generating system.

• You set the system to exercise at a prescribed time and day of the week.  This allows you to verify that your system is in peak operating condition between utility failures.

 

Convenient Fuel Supply

• Operates on home / business natural gas or LP gas service.

• Provides you with potentially unlimited run time during extended utility power failures.

• On-board LED System Fault Indicators for low oil pressure, high engine temperature shutdown, overspeed / overcrank shutdown and system ready light (air-cooled models only).

• Aids in performance of servicing in the event of a system difficulty.  Leads technician to a more specific area for troubleshooting purposes.  Reduces service time.

 

OHVI® Single or Twin-Cylinder Engine

• Full-pressure lubrication system with automotive spin-on oil filter (air-cooled only).

• Finest lubrication technology available and provides instantaneous disbursement of lubricant to all engine parts.  Easy change filter.

 

Automatic Voltage Regulator

• Maintains constant voltage with varying loads.

• Eliminates voltage spikes and allows operation of sensitive electronic equipment.

 

Maintenance Friendly

• Air-cooled models include a hinged top and removable front panel.  Liquid-cooled models feature large removable enclosure doors.

• Provides easy and quick access to all maintenance and service parts.  Reduces preventative maintenance or repair time.

​

HOW DOES THE SYSTEM WORK?

​

• The completely automatic Guardian transfer switch monitors incoming voltage from the utility line - around the clock.

• When utility power is interrupted, the automatic transfer switch immediately senses the problem and signals the generator to start.

• The automatic transfer switch then safely closes off the utility line and simultaneously opens a new power line from the generator.

• Within seconds, your Guardian generator system begins supplying electricity to the critical emergency circuits of your home or business.  The transfer switch continues to monitor the utility line conditions.

• When the automatic transfer switch senses the utility line voltage has returned at a steady state, it re-transfers the electrical load back to the utility line and resumes monitoring for subsequent utility loss.  The generator will continue to run for an engine cool-down period of several minutes while the entire system stands ready for the next power outage.
