¡ 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.

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.

¡ 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.

¡ SINGLE SOURCE SERVICE RESPONSE from Generac’s dealer network

provides parts and service know-how for the entire unit, from the engine

to the smallest electronic component. You are never on your own when

you own a GENERAC POWER SYSTEM.

¡ GENERAC 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.

INSTALLATION SYSTEM UNIT CONTROLS TRANSFER SWITCH GENERATOR ENGINE SPECIFICATIONS Standby Generator - 16 kW •Generac (OHVI) Design Maximizes engine “breathing” for increased fuel efficiency. Plateau honed cylinder walls and plasma moly rings help engine run cooler, reducing oil consumption. Because heat is the primary cause of engine wear, the OHVI has a significantly longer life than competitive engines.
