Briggs & Stratton Adds More Power to its Standby Generator Lineup

Company Introduces Three New Models

Briggs & Stratton Energy Solutions is delivering more backup power with the introduction of its 13kW, 18kW and 22kW PowerProtect™ standby generators.

Briggs & Stratton’s air-cooled standby generators, which are engineered and assembled in the U.S., can run on natural gas or liquid propane. The PowerProtect line has NG Max technology so it offers more power output on natural gas compared to other generators in its class.

Briggs & Stratton standby generators are powered by the company’s trusted and proven commercial-grade Vanguard^® engine that’s built to run continuously for days on end in the toughest environments. Another unique feature is the Eco-Cise™ smart weekly test mode that significantly reduces noise and fuel consumption, shrinking the weekly generator test from 5-20 minutes down to just 16 seconds.

PowerProtect generators are designed to work seamlessly with Briggs & Stratton Automatic Transfer Switches (ATS). The ATS senses when utility power goes out and within seconds switches the business or home to generator power.

PowerProtect owners can add a Symphony^Ⓡ Choice Kit to their system. Symphony technology is the power management system that automatically balances the electrical loads, and users can prioritize up to eight high-wattage items.

The PowerProtect generator line has a standard six-year warranty that covers parts, labor and technician travel, meaning there aren’t hidden fees. For those who purchase a unit through a Briggs & Stratton dealer, a 10-year warranty is available.

PowerProtect 13kW Standby Generator

At 28.5″ x 25.5″ x 37.6,” this new upright unit boasts an ultra-compact footprint and is ideal for tight lot lines. In fact, the 13kW has a 39% smaller footprint compared to competitive models. A front exhaust design allows for ultimate installation versatility. The 13kW delivers 13 running kW on liquid propane and 11.5 kW on natural gas. The 37 kVA motor starting power is 12% greater than the competition in the same power class. That means more available power to start up large appliances and equipment like an air conditioner.

PowerProtect 18kW Standby Generator

The 18kW generator measures 46.5″ x 26.8″ x 28.4″ and delivers 18 kW on liquid propane and natural gas. The 45 kVA motor starting power is 10% greater than the competition in the same power class and handles large items with ease. The 18kW is designed for emergency and non-emergency use. The non-emergency certification allows users to participate in their local utility’s demand response program and receive statement credits or other incentives for helping to reduce the overall load on the power grid.

PowerProtect 22kW Standby Generator

The 22kW generator measures 46.5″ x 26.8″ x 28.4″ and delivers a full 22 kW on both liquid propane and natural gas. The 22kW model comes with 45 kVA of motor starting power to ensure a smooth startup of large items like air conditioners. The 22kW is designed for emergency and non-emergency use. The non-emergency certification means users can enroll in their local utility’s demand response program and receive statement credits or other incentives for helping to reduce the overall load on the power grid.

PowerProtect 26kW Standby Generator

The 26kW generator measures 46.5″ x 26.8″ x 28.4″ and delivers over 26 kW on liquid propane and 24 kW on natural gas. The 26kW model comes with 65.6kVA of motor starting power to ensure a smooth startup of large appliances like air conditioners. In addition, it is non-emergency certified, meaning users can partner with their local utility’s demand response program and receive statement credits or other incentives for helping to reduce the overall load on the power grid.

The new 13kW, 18kW and 22kW PowerProtect generators replace the company’s 12kW, 17kW and 20kW units and build on Briggs & Stratton’s 115 years of experience in power application.

The Briggs & Stratton Energy Solutions portfolio includes a complete line of backup energy products, including Energy Storage Systems (ESS) and standby generators.
