Whether you are home or away, the EmPower Automatic
Home Generator System provides fully automatic protection from power
outages. Advanced electronics continually monitor utility power.
When an outage occurs, it starts the generator and automatically switches from
utility power to generator power. Electrical power is restored without
effort, in seconds. When utility power is restored, the system senses
it, transfers service back to the utility, shuts down the generator and
resumes monitoring. It's all automatic. No worries, no hassles.
Assembled in the USA. Vanguard engine is made in JAPAN. This model
supersedes the 1815/CHGEN.

Automatic Transfer Switches

Fully Automatic
All of our switches monitor utility and generator voltages and will
automatically connect to the appropriate source of power. The 100 amp
and 200 amp switches are capable of "whole house" power transfer in
residential and small business applications. For whole house
applications the switch amp rating must equal or exceed the utility service
rating.
Exclusive Design
Each switch is custom made and dedicated exclusively for Briggs & Stratton
Power Products Home Standby Generators, reducing overall cost and giving you
exactly what you need for your home or small business.
Supervisory Control
These industrial grade component features a control panel with red and green
LED lights indicating the power sources available, and two relay operated
contacts that allow the user to manage external loads during a power
outage. These are useful for shutting down loads that may be too large
for the generator such as central air conditioning or heat pumps.
EEPROM Memory
Non-volatile memory, so when the power goes out, the transfer switch remembers
its programming. Switch never has to be reprogrammed once it is
installed.
Variable Engine Warm Up
All switch models feature a choice of two warm up periods - 20 seconds for
warm weather starts and 50 seconds when the generator requires additional
start time in colder climates.
Safety Features
All switch models are solenoid-operated from utility or generator inputs and
contain electrical interlock switches to eliminate the possibility of
dangerous back feed to utility during an outage. Switches are listed to
UL Standard 1008.
