Generac Generators



Generac generators can provide your complete power package.

Generac Power Systems is one of the world's largest manufacturers of engine-driven generators. As a "single source power provider", its broad product line offers a full range of generator models in both diesel and gaseous fuel options with systems ranging from 3 kW to 6000 kW. Servicing the industrial, commercial, residential, recreational vehicle and communications sectors, Generac generators can provide your complete power package!

Generac Power Systems independently builds, integrates and warrants entire power generation systems, including their own generator sets, controls, transfer switches, paralleling switchgear, fuel tanks, enclosures and controlling software. Paying strict attention to the exacting requirements of power generation, Generac generator equipment is safe, reliable and capable of routinely handling heavy electrical loads upon demand. Uncompromising attention by manufacturing experts to close tolerances and exacting details provides quality assurance at every step of the process. Generac also provides full factory support for technical training, warranty programs, parts and service.

The heart of every Generac generator is its engine and alternator. Top engine designs from around the world are selected to ideally suit electrical power generation. These are then modified to Generac specifications. Starting with each long block engine, Generac-designed fuel delivery, cooling, and exhaust systems are added. Depending upon size, 98% of Generac generator alternators feature Generac manufactured rotors and stators. As an extra measure of safety and confidence, most Generac products are UL Listed by Underwriters Laboratories.

As self-proclaimed by Generac Power Systems, the following are standard features for Generac diesel and gaseous generator units:

Generac manufactured alternator (under 400 kW) - We wind our own rotors and stators to ensure top quality.

Automatic shutdown protection system - Light and sound alarms are backed up by an automatic system that stops the generator for a variety of mechanical or safety reasons.

Solid state sensing and starting controls - Our well-proven control system ensures reliability and durability.

Permanent magnet excitation (optional at 125 kW and below) - Provides better response time and better performance for non-linear (UPS) loads, and is standard in gensets above 125 kW.

Factory warranted custom packaging - Generac builds its own enclosures in standard or sound attenuated versions with a durable, powder paint finish - not every manufacturer does.

Further more, to ensure that equipment lives up to the Generac generator reputation for durability, Generac subjects their engines, alternators, controls, and transfer switches to demanding test routines. Only after assurance that they are up to task do they become part of the Generac generator product line, where "long life is a hallmark". Finally, numerous Generac research and development programs are all aimed at bringing improved products to the market. In order to stay on top, Generac focuses on new technologies to increase power, efficiency and reliability.

New systems are subjected to rigorous product performance tests, as well as extensive alpha and beta site testing. These extensive test agendas allow you to choose a Generac generator with the confidence that every system will provide you with the power you need, for years to come.
