FEATURES
■ INNOVATIV E 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
✓ SYSTEM TORSIONAL TESTED
✓ ELECTRO-MAGNETIC INTERFERENCE
✓ NEMA MG1 EVALUATION
✓ MOTOR STARTING ABILITY
✓ SHORT CIRCUIT TESTING
✓ UL 2200 COMPLIANCE AVAILABLE
■ SOLID-STATE, FREQU EN CY 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. You are never
on your own when you own a GENERAC POWER SYSTEM.
■ GEN ERAC TRANS FER SWITC HES, SWITC HGEAR AND
ACCESSORIES. Long life and reliability is synonymous with
GENERAC POWER SYSTEMS. One reason for this confidence is
that the GENERAC product line includes its own transfer systems,
accessories, switchgear and controls for total system compatibility.

■ Four pole, revolving field generator, directly connected to the engine
shaft through a heavy-duty, flexible disc for permanent alignment.
■ Generator meets the temperature rise standards for class "F"
insulation as defined by NEMA MG1-32.6.
■ All prototype models have passed a three-phase symmetrical short
circuit test to assure system protection and reliability.
■ All prototype models are tested for motor starting ability by
measuring the instantaneous voltage dip with a waveform data
acquisition system.
■ All models utilize an advanced wire harness design for reliable
interconnection within the circuitry.
■ Magnetic circuit, including skewed stator design, provides a minimal
level of waveform distortion and an electromagnetic interference
level which meets accepted requirements for standard AM radio, TV,
and marine radio telephone applications.
■ Voltage waveform deviation, total harmonic content of the AC
waveform, and T.I.F. (Telephone Influence Factor) have been
evaluated to acceptable standards in accordance with NEMA
MG1-32.
■ Alternator is self-ventilated and drip-proof constructed.
■ Fully life-tested protective systems, including "field circuit and
thermal overload protection" and optional main-line circuit breakers
capable of handling full output capacity.
■ System Torsional acceptability confirmed during Prototype Testing.
