Briggs & Stratton 10kW Standby Generator

A Briggs & Stratton 10kW Standby Generator restores power to your home during utility outages. Standby Generators are Automatic. They start in any weather (including hurricanes), day or night. Whether you’re at home, away on vacation, or sleeping in your bed, the 10kW generator senses a power outage. Within seconds, the generator starts and signals the automatic transfer switch. The ATS switches from utility to generator power. Power management ensures your home’s essential appliances and circuits have power when they need it.

Where temperatures fall below 30 degrees Fahrenheit, install Briggs and Stratton Cold Weather Accessories. Cold weather accessories allow easier starts in temperatures below freezing. A warm battery can produce more power than a cold battery for starting. Warm oil lubricates better which prolongs engine life and makes it easier to start. Fuel Regulator warmers prevent icing that could prevent the regulator from adjusting the fuel pressure.

Power Management

The New Briggs and Stratton Generator and Automatic Transfer Switch systems include an Amplify 200-Amp Service Rated Transfer Switch and Amplify Gateway Module.

With Amplify power management, the homeowner can control up to 32 prioritized appliances via the Standby Generator Management App. The Amplify system requires the Gateway, Dual Low Voltage Modules, and High Voltage Modules. Low voltage modules manage appliances with controls like a thermostat—Air Conditioners, Furnaces, and Heat Pumps. High voltage appliances like electric ranges, water heaters, and electric dryers use the high voltage modules.

The Standby Generator Management App allows the homeowner to change system priorities as needed. For example, the electric range might receive a higher priority over the electric dryer while cooking dinner.

Installation requires the use of a Carbon Monoxide Detector inside the home to guard against CO Poisoning.
