Champion Power Equipment 8500-Watt Air Cooled Standby Generator with 50 Amp NEMA 3 and 12 Circuit Transfer Switch - 100177

The Champion Power Equipment 100177 8.5-kW Home Standby Generator with an ATS50 Outdoor-Rated Automatic Transfer Switch is The Simple Solution to a power outage. The generator starts automatically when the power goes out and returns to standby when power is restored. You'll have the starting power you need during an emergency since the onboard battery charger maintains the charge at all times, plus, since the generator is connected to your propane or natural gas system, it never needs refueling. This unit also performs weekly self-diagnostic tests. The ATS50 automatic transfer switch operates a 50 amp, 12 circuit load (8 space sub panel allows up to 4 tandem breakers). It is ideal for homeowners who want to power emergency essentials during a power outage as opposed to the whole house. It is housed in a NEMA 3R rated enclosure for outdoor use. Our innovative gull-wing design provides easy access to the engine and control panel and allows a full view of the onboard control system. This 8.5-kW-rated unit produces 35.4 Amp at 240-Volt on propane and 31.3 Amp at 240-Volt on natural gas. The alternator produces less than 5% total harmonic distortion (THD) to ensure safe use with even the most sensitive electronics. This generator is available for all 50 states, and the ATS50 is UL and cUL listed in the US and Canada. Champion Support and our nationwide network of service centers will back your purchase up with a 10-year limited warranty and free lifetime technical support.
