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.

¡	
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%.

¡	 T RUE 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.

¡	
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.

¡	 TEST CRITERIA:

PROTOTYPE TESTED	
	
	 SYSTEM TORSIONAL TESTED	

¡	
G ENERAC TRANSFER SWITCHES. Long life and reliability are
synonymous with GENERAC POWER SYSTEMS. One reason for this
confidence is that the GENERAC product line includes its own transfer
systems and controls for total system compatibility.

engine life. Now featuring a 2 year/200 hour oil change interval.

•Low oil pressure shutdown system

Superior shutdown protection prevents catastrophic engine damage due to low oil.

•High temperature shutdown

Prevents damage due to overheating.

•Revolving field

Allows for 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 ±1% prevents damaging voltage spikes.

•UL 2200 Listed

For your safety.

•Fully Automatic

additional items.

•Remote Mounting

Mounts near your existing distribution panel for simple, low cost installation.

•UL Listed

For your safety.

•Auto/Off/Manual switch

Selects the operating mode.

•Utility voltage sensing

Constantly monitors utility voltage, setpoints 60% dropout, 80% pick-up, of standard voltage.

•Generator voltage sensing

Constantly monitors generator voltage to ensure the cleanest power delivered to the home.

•Utility interrupt delay

Prevents nuisance start-ups of the engine, adjustable 10-30 seconds.

•Engine warm-up

Ensures engine is ready to assume the load, setpoint approximately 5 seconds.

•Engine cool-down

Allows engine to cool prior to shutdown, setpoint approximately 1 minute.

•Programmable seven day exerciser

Operates engine to prevent oil seal drying and damage between power outages by running the
generator for 12 minutes every week.

•Smart battery charger

Delivers charge to the battery only when needed at varying rates depending on outdoor air temperature.

•Main Line Circuit Breaker

Protects generator from overload.

•Electronic governor

Maintains constant 60 Hz frequency.

•Weather protective enclosure

Ensures protection against mother nature. Hinged key locking roof panel for security.
Lift-out front for easy access to all routine maintenance items. 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.

•1’ Flexible Fuel Line Connector
•Composite Mounting Pad

Easy Installation.
