Standby Generator Set
Briggs & Stratton^® Home Standby
20kW on propane, 18kW on natural gas
(see below for transfer switches)

 

Briggs & Stratton 20kW standby generators provide backup electricity for your air conditioner, appliances, lights, TVs or computers and give you the peace of mind to take charge. Ideal for large-sized homes, Briggs & Stratton standby generators can dependably power your home’s essential power needs with flexible power options.

Symphony II^® System now available for managing your large electrical loads and this usually means you can install a smaller lower- cost generator.  The system is available as an option in the most of the Briggs automatic transfer switches.  The user selects up to four large loads to be controlled and sets the run priority for each.  Then this system monitors the available generator capacity to determine if and when these loads can run.  They are turned on and off automatically through remote switching modules which must be ordered separately (see below).  The system communicates with the modules using a signal on the power system neutral.
