Briggs and Stratton 10kW Generator

The Briggs and Stratton 10kW Standby Generator fits into the landscape with a size and shape that compares to a central air conditioner—half the size of competing brands. This 40685 10 kW standby generator system includes a 16-Circuit 100-Amp Automatic Transfer Switch—ideal for installations that power selected circuits instead of an entire house.

Rated for Installation 18-inches from the home with front-facing exhaust.

Briggs and Stratton PowerProtect Standby Generators carry the most comprehensive warranty in their class. Briggs & Stratton’s 6-Year Limited Warranty covers parts, labor, and travel for the entire term. Made in the USA with a commercial-grade Vanguard engine and included 16-Circuit Automatic Transfer Switch, the Briggs and Stratton 10kW Generator keeps all your essentials running throughout any power outage.

10 kW Briggs and Stratton Generator

The 10 kW Briggs and Stratton Generator comes equipped the 570 cc V-Twin OHV Vanguard commercial grade engine. PowerProtect series generators include Low Oil Shutdown, high temperature shutdown, LED display, and a built-in battery charger.

Briggs & Stratton 10kW Standby Generator 16-Circuit Transfer Switch

A Briggs & Stratton 10kW Standby Generator restores power to your home during utility outages. Standby Generators are Automatic and start in any weather (including hurricanes), day or night. Whether you’re at home, away on vacation, or sleeping in your bed, the 10kW generator senses a power outage. Within seconds, the generator starts and signals the 100 Amp 16-Circuit Automatic Transfer Switch. The ATS switches from utility to generator power, and the house has electricity.

Where temperatures fall below 30 degrees Fahrenheit, install Briggs and Stratton Cold Weather Accessories. Cold weather accessories allow easier starts in temperatures below freezing. A warm battery can produce more power than a cold battery for starting. Warm oil lubricates better which prolongs engine life and makes it easier to start. Fuel Regulator warmers prevent icing that could prevent the regulator from adjusting the fuel pressure.

Installation requires the use of a Carbon Monoxide Detector inside the home to guard against CO Poisoning.

This Briggs & Stratton 10kW Standby Generator is NOT rated for Prime Power Applications.
