Air-Cooled Gas Engine Generator Sets Continuous Standby Power Rating 16kW 60Hz Whisper-Test™ Low Speed Exercise 59 dB(A) at 23 feet
The new GUARDIAN QuietSource 16kW (LP fueled / 15kW on NG) model has the power to start a 5 ton air conditioning unit with 7kW of auxiliary load.
And for homes with multiple central air zones, it has the power to run two 4-ton models. It's expanded 16 circuit load center also maximizes the higher kW output to put more power in the hands of your customers. The patent pending Whisper-Test™ feature makes this the quietest air-cooled model on the market with weekly exercise sound levels coming in half as loud or less than competitive models. With a dB level of 59, the new 16kW GUARDIAN QuietSource sounds like a car at idle.Models:

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.
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. You are never on your own when you own a GENERAC POWER SYSTEM.
GENERAC TRANSFER SWITCHES. Long life and reliability are synonymous with GENERAC POWER SYSTEMS. One reason for this confidence is that the GENERAC product line includes its own transfer systems and controls for total system compatibility.
TEST CRITERIA:
> PROTOTYPE TESTED
> SYSTEM TORSIONAL TESTED
> NEMA MG1-22 EVALUATION

ENGINE •Generac (OHVI) Design •”Spiny-lok” cast iron cylinder walls •Electronic ignition, spark advance and compression release •Full pressure lubrication system •Low oil pressure shutdown system •High temperature shutdown
Maximizes engine “breathing” for increased fuel efficiency. Cylinder walls run cooler, reducing oil consumption. Because heat is the primary cause of engine wear, the OHVI has a significantly longer life than competitive engines. Rigid construction and added durability provide long engine life. These features combine to assure smooth, quick starting every time. Superior lubrication to all vital bearings means better performance, less maintenance and significantly longer engine life. Superior shutdown protection prevents catastrophic engine damage due to low oil. Prevents damage due to overheating. GENERATOR
•Revolving field •Skewed stator •Displaced phase excitation •Automatic voltage regulation •UL 2200 ListedAllows for smaller, light weight unit that operates 25% more efficiently than a revolving armature generator. Produces a smooth output waveform for compatibility with electronic equipment. Maximizes motor starting capability. Provides more surge capability than brushless generator designs. Regulates the output voltage to ±2% prevents damaging voltage spikes. For your safety TRANSFERSWITCH
•Fully Automatic •Remote Mounting •UL ListedTransfers your vital electrical loads to the energized source of power. Mounts near your existing distribution panel for simple, low cost installation. For your safety MICROPROCESSOR CONTROL
•Manual/Auto/Off switch •Utility voltage sensing •Utility interrupt delay •Engine warm-up •Engine cool-down •Seven day exerciser •Timed Trickle Battery charger •Main Line Circuit BreakerSelects the operating mode. Constantly monitors utility voltage, setpoints 60% dropout, 70% pick-up, of standard voltage. Prevents nuisance start-ups of the engine, set point approximately 10 seconds. Ensures engine is ready to assume the load, setpoint approximately 10 seconds. Allows engine to cool prior to shutdown, setpoint approximately 1 minute. Operates engine to prevent oil seal drying and damage between power outages. Maintains battery amperage to insure starting. Protects generator from overload. UNIT
