Whether you are home or away, the EmPower Automatic Home Generator System provides fully automatic protection from power outages. Advanced electronics continually monitor utility power. When an outage occurs, it starts the generator and automatically switches from utility power to generator power. Electrical power is restored without effort, in seconds. When utility power is restored, the system senses it, transfers service back to the utility, shuts down the generator and resumes monitoring. It's all automatic. No worries, no hassles. Assembled in the USA. Vanguard engine is made in JAPAN. This model supersedes the 1897/CHGEN.
High Value Features to Keep You Running

Automatic Transfer Switches
Click to enlarge electrical diagram
Fully Automatic
All of our switches monitor utility and generator voltages and will
automatically connect to the appropriate source of power. The 100 amp
and 200 amp switches are capable of "whole house" power transfer in
residential and small business applications. For whole house
applications the switch amp rating must equal or exceed the utility service
rating. However, the total load must be
carefully reviewed to ensure that it will not exceed the generator rating.
Exclusive Design
Each switch is custom made and dedicated exclusively for Briggs & Stratton
Power Products Home Standby Generators, reducing overall cost and giving you
exactly what you need for your home or small business.
Supervisory Control
These industrial grade component features a control panel with red and green
LED lights indicating the power sources available, and two relay operated
contacts that allow the user to manage external loads during a power
outage. These are useful for shutting down loads that may be too large
for the generator such as central air conditioning or heat pumps.
Safety Features
All switch models are solenoid-operated from utility or generator inputs and
contain electrical interlock switches to eliminate the possibility of
dangerous back feed to utility during an outage. Switches are listed to
UL Standard 1008.
Pick
options using dropdown menus before pressing button...
1- Select proper switch for your application
2- Optional A/C Control Module (ACCM) manages generator load and only allows start of
central air conditioner when adequate spare capacity is available.
Reduces chance of generator overload and shutdown due to unexpected start of
A/C unit during periods of high generator load. Not available for 50A
switches.
3- Optional built-in service entrance disconnect eliminates
need for external disconnect when installing switch directly downstream of utility meter.
Reduces installation time and cost of extra external disconnect. Not
available for 50A switches.
4- Select engine block/oil warmer for reliable
starting below freezing.
5- Select battery warmer for prolonged cold
weather.
6- Optional maintenance kit. Includes oil, filters, plugs, etc.
7- Select delivery method.
