FEATURES

¡ INNOVATIVE DESIGN & PROTOTYPE TESTING are key components

of GENERAC’S success in “IMPROVING POWER BY DESIGN.” But it
doesn’t stop there. Total commitment to component testing, reliability
testing, environmental testing, destruction and life testing, plus testing
to applicable CSA, NEMA, EGSA, and other standards, allows you to
choose GENERAC POWER SYSTEMS with the confidence that these
systems will provide superior performance.

¡ TEST CRITERIA:

PROTOTYPE TESTED  NEMA MG1-22 EVALUATION

 SYSTEM TORSIONAL TESTED  MOTOR STARTING ABILITY

¡ SOLID-STATE, FREQUENCY COMPENSATED VOLTAGE REGULATION.

This state-of-the-art power maximizing regulation system is standard on
all Generac models. It provides optimized FAST RESPONSE to changing
load conditions and MAXIMUM MOTOR STARTING CAPABILITY by
electronically torque-matching the surge loads to the engine.

¡ SINGLE SOURCE SERVICE RESPONSE from Generac’s dealer network

provides parts and service know-how for the entire unit, from the engine
to the smallest electronic component.

¡ PURPOSE BUILT FOR RENEWABLE ENERGY APPLICATIONS.

Designed specifically to interact with off-grid renewable energy
applications, Generac introduces the first generator intended for
alternative energy interaction. Capable of tying into an inverter and
battery storage system to supplement the alternative energy source.
This provides the cleanest running, low emission solution to recharging
house batteries.

¡ EXTENDED RUN CAPABILITY. This innovative oil circulation system

extends the maintenance intervals by an unprecedented 5 times the industry
standard by offering 500 hour maintenance intervals.

Engine

•Generac (OHVI) Design Maximizes engine “breathing” for increased fuel efficiency. Plateau honed cylinder walls and plasma moly rings
helps the engine run cooler, reducing oil consumption resulting in longer engine life.

•“Spiny-lok” cast iron cylinder walls Rigid construction and added durability provide long engine life.

•Electronic ignition/spark advance These features combine to assure smooth, quick starting every time.

•Full pressure lubrication system Pressurized lubrication to all vital bearings means better performance, less maintenance and longer engine life.

•Low oil pressure shutdown system Superior shutdown protection prevents catastrophic engine damage due to low oil.

•High temperature shutdown Prevents damage due to overheating.

•Spin-on automotive type oil filter Captures and collects harmful impurities with easy serviceability.

•Oil circulatory system Extends maintenance intervals to 500 hours and virtually eliminates oil degradation.

Generator

•Revolving field

•Displaced phase excitation

•Automatic voltage regulation Regulates the output voltage to ±2% prevents damaging voltage spikes.

•UL 2200 Listed For your safety.

Allows for a smaller, light weight unit that operates 25% more efficiently than a revolving armature generator.

Maximizes motor starting capability.

Controls

•Auto/Off/Manual switch Selects the operating mode.

•2-wire start/Inverter connection Allows the generator to be started by a two wire signal.
