Standby Power Generation
Standby power is indispensable for many kinds of operations.
Lengthy or recurring power outages result in financial loss,
inconvenience or worse. Often, the investment in a standby generator
set is recouped at the first significant outage.
Generac's broad product line offers a full range of models for all
kinds of applications, in both diesel and gaseous fuel options.
Power generation equipment is built to exacting requirements. By its
very nature, it must be safe, reliable and capable of routinely
handling heavy electrical loads upon demand. That means
uncompromising attention to close tolerances and exacting details,
requiring manufacturing expertise and quality assurance at every
step of the process.
The heart of every Generac genset is its engine and alternator. For
our prime movers, we select top engine designs from around the world
that are ideally suited to electrical power generation and modify
them to Generac specifications. Starting with each long block
engine, we add Generac-designed fuel delivery, cooling, and exhaust
systems. Depending upon size, 98% of our alternators feature Generac
manufactured rotors and stators. As an extra measure of safety and
confidence, most Generac products are UL Listed by Underwriters
Laboratories.
Diesel
Generac diesel generators range in size from 8 to 750 kilowatts.
Sturdy, double walled base tanks are standard with all diesel
offerings, with a variety of muffler and enclosure options.
Gaseous
Generac’s natural gas and liquid propane fueled generator sets range
in output from 10 to 200 kilowatts, with a variety of muffler and
enclosure options.
Standard Features for Diesel and Gaseous
units:

(under 400 kW) — We wind our own rotors and stators to
ensure top quality |

safety reasons |
| Solid state sensing and starting
controls — Our well-proven control system ensures
reliability and durability |

every manufacturer does
Research, Development & Testing
Our numerous research and development programs are all aimed at
bringing improved products to market. In order to stay on top, we
focus on and apply new technologies to increase power, efficiency
and reliability.
To ensure that our equipment lives up to the Generac reputation
for durability, we subject our engines, alternators, controls, and
transfer switches to punishing test routines. Only after we’re
certain they’re up to the task do they become a part of our
product line, where long life is a hallmark of our commitment to
lasting quality.
New systems are subjected to rigorous product performance tests,
as well as extensive alpha and beta site testing. Our extensive
test agendas allow you to choose a Generac power system with the
confidence that every system will provide you with the power you
need, for years to come. |
