Features

 FEATURES:  

INNOVATIVE ENGINE DESIGN & RIGOROUS TESTING are at the heart of Generac’s success in providing the most reliable generators possible. Generac’s G-Force engine lineup offers added peace of mind and reliability for when it’s needed the most. The G-Force series engines are purpose built and designed to handle the rigors of extended run times in high temperatures and extreme operating conditions

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.

TEST CRITERIA:

    • PROTOTYPE TESTED     • NEMA MG1-22 EVALUATION

    • SYSTEM TORSIONAL TESTED     • MOTOR STARTING ABILITY

MOBILE LINK® CONNECTIVITY: FREE with select Guardian Series Home standby generators, Mobile Link Wi-Fi allows users to monitor generator status from anywhere in the world using a smartphone, tablet, or PC. Easily access information such as the current operating status and maintenance alerts. Users can connect an account to an authorized service dealer for fast, friendly, and proactive service. With Mobile Link, users are taken care of before the next power outage.

 

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 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.

Rating definitions – Optional Standby: Applicable for supplying backup power for the duration of the utility power outage with correct maintenance performed. No overload capability is available for this rating. (All ratings in accordance with BS5514, ISO3046, UL2200, and DIN6271).
* Maximum kilovolt amps and current are subject to and limited by such factors as fuel BTU/Megajoule content, ambient temperature, altitude, engine power and condition, etc. Maximum power decreases approximately 3.5% for each 1,000 ft (304.8 m) above sea level and approximately 1% for each 10 °F (6 °C) above 60 °F (16 °C).
 **Sound levels are taken from the front of the generator. Sound levels taken from other sides of the generator may be higher depending on installation parameters.
