FEATURES & BENEFITS
The BRIGGS & STRATTON and GUARDIAN RESIDENTIAL EMERGENCY HOME STANDBY emergency power generators are the most powerful, fully automatic, enclosed generators of there size available anywhere. A full line of air-cooled and liquid-cooled models are available in two fuels - natural gas and liquid propane.

The liquid-cooled models deliver up to 45,000 watts of backup electrical power. They are quiet, reliable and loaded with special features. Power is supplied by liquid-cooled in-line 4-cylinder and V-6 automobile engines.

The air-cooled units reliably deliver power up to 15,000 watts with up to 30 horsepower air-cooled twin-cylinder engines. All the features of liquid-cooled units are present in the air-cooled units other than the liquid cooling system.

UL-Listed Automatic Transfer Switch Automatically signals the generator to produce emergency electrical power when utility fails and disconnects when utility power returns. Within seconds your generator is producing electrical power without you having to even flip a switch.

You don't have to be home for your system to work! Automatic Exerciser Seven (7) day interval testing of the power generating system. You set the system to exercise at a prescribed time and day of the week. This allows you to verify that your system is in peak operating condition between utility failures.

Convenient Fuel Supply Operates on home/business natural gas or LP gas service. Provides you with potentially unlimited run time during extended utility power failures.

On Board LED System Fault Indicators - low oil pressure, high engine temperature shutdown, overspeed/overcrank shutdown and system ready light (air-cooled models only). Aids in performance of servicing in the event of a system difficulty. Leads technician to a more specific area for troubleshooting purposes. Reduces service time.

OHV Single or Twin-Cylinder Engine Full-pressure lubrication system with automotive spin-on oil filter (air-cooled only). Finest lubrication technology available and provides instantaneous disbursement of lubricant to all engine parts. Easy change filter.

Automatic Voltage Regulator Maintains constant voltage with varying loads. Eliminates voltage spikes and allows operation of sensitive electronic equipment.

Maintenance Friendly Air-cooled models include a hinged top and removable front panel.

Liquid-cooled models feature large removable enclosure doors. Provides easy and quick access to all maintenance and service parts. Reduces preventative maintenance or repair time.


This page can be used as a guide to compute the size of the standby emergency power generator required for your application. Select and total the KW Average Power required by equipment. The power information will be reviewed by our electrical engineers. This information is utilized to properly quote your application.

You may contact Vetech by phone, email, fax, or by submitting the form which follows the power table. The table values can be used to calculate the size generator to meet your requirement. A size margin using a factor of 1.25 is indicated, but your particular loads may require a different factor if the loads are very non-linear. Please consult with Vetech for sizing when special loads consisting of battery backup power supplies are included in your application, i.e., computer systems.
