Whether you are home or away, the EmPower™ Series 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.

Gives you automatic, uninterrupted power for home essentials including large loads:

* Lights
* Furnace Fan
* Refrigerator/Freezer
* Garage Door Opener
* Security System
* Humidifier/Dehumidifier
* Entertainment System
* Sump Pump
* Water Well

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.  If feeding a sub-panel the switch must equal or exceed the sub-panel rating.

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.

Power Management System Upgrade
Most high wattage electrical loads normally require a large and expensive generator.  Now you can manage these high demand appliances of even the most power hungry home with this affordable upgrade, exclusively from Briggs & Stratton.  Featuring patented computer-controlled technology, the system makes the 20kW EmPower generator the most efficient standby generator in its class.  Select this optional upgrade using the dropdown menu below.
