MFG News | Posted on |
MILWAUKEE, Wis., November 6, 2012 â New Briggs & Stratton 16â and 20âkilowatt standby generators were introduced late last month at GIE+Expo. âHomeowners wanted more flexible placement options and the ability to power all of their homeâs essential appliances,â said Amanda Grandy, marketing manager for Briggs & Stratton Home Power. âThatâs exactly what we delivered with the new 16â and 20âkW units.â The 16â and 20âkW standby generators meet tough National Fire Protection Agency standards allowing homeowners to place generators potentially as close as 18 inches from the home. Closer placement options may help make standby generators a reality for homeowners with small lots. The units also have a thermallyâprotected fuel system that automatically shut off the engine in the event of a fire. The allâsteel enclosure and base can endure twice as much heat as aluminum and far beyond the heat plastic can withstand. Versatility in power options gives homeowners more choices in what they power in their home from specific electrical circuits to a managed solution that powers most appliances in their home. The Essential PowerâPlus! series provides power for a select number of circuits in a home, including enough power for two, loadâdependent, air conditioner units. With the Managed Whole House series, homeowners can electronically manage appliances and air conditioner units automatically powering their most essential appliances first with a Load Control Center. The 16â and 20âkW generators are powered by commercialâgrade Briggs & Stratton VanguardTM engines, which are designâengineered to dependably take on the most demanding jobs, helping ensure reliable backup power in the case of an outage.
