Description

Guardian 8kva 50hz Standby Generator Features and Benefits

Provides essential circuit power protection for your home, ensuring the necessities remain powered during an outage. The most affordable automatic standby generator on the market offers protection for half the cost of central air conditioning.

Key Features

True Power™ Technology delivers best-in-class power quality with less than 5 percent total harmonic distortion for clean, smooth operation of sensitive electronics and appliances.
Generac G-Force Engine: Generac's G-Force Engine is a purpose-built, pressure-lubricated engine capable of handling the rigors of generator use, resulting in power that’s more reliable and requires less routine maintenance than any competitive engine.
Generac's Evolution Controller: The most comprehensive available. The dual-line, tri-lingual LCD display allows for easy monitoring and management of generator functions.
5-Year Limited Warranty for automatic standby generators.
24/7/365 Customer Support: Power outages don’t always occur during normal working hours. That’s why
Generac’s customer care call center—right here in Wisconsin—provides support any time of day or night, all year long. Generac is standing by 24/7, every minute of every day, to answer your questions.
All-Weather Aluminum Enclosure: Our durable powder-coat finish helps make the sturdy, all-weather aluminum enclosure corrosion resistant, making it ideal for coastal, salt-air climates. It’s also able to withstand 150 mph winds.
Easy Installation: With re-engineered connection points, and composite mounting pad that eliminates the need for a poured concrete base (unless specified by local codes), the Guardian Series 8kVA generator is easy to install.
Certified for 18" Installation to the Home: Third-party certified to NFPA standards to be installed as close as 18” from the home’s exterior wall, provided it is located away from doors, windows, and fresh-air intakes, and unless otherwise directed by local codes.
Tool-less Fuel Conversion: Switch between natural gas and LP fuel in the field in a few seconds, without the need for any tools.
Rated for Operation in Areas with Low Natural Gas Pressure: In areas with low natural gas pressure, the Guardian Series 13kVA generator can operate on natural gas pressures of only 3.5” of water column—significantly lower than published numbers for competitive standby generator systems.

Engine

Generac G- Force design: Maximizes engine "breathing" for increased fuel efficiency. Plateau honed cylinder walls and plasma moly rings helps the engine run cooler, reducing oil consumption resulting in longer engine life.
Spiny-lok cast iron cylinder walls: Rigid construction and added durability provide long engine life.
Electronic ignition/spark advance: These features combine to assure smooth, quick starting every time.
Full pressure lubrication system: Pressurized lubrication to all vital bearings means better performance, less maintenance and longer engine life. Now featuring up to a 2 year/200 hour oil change interval.
Low oil pressure shutdown system: Shutdown protection prevents catastrophic engine damage due to low oil.
High temperature shutdown: Prevents damage due to overheating.

Generator

Revolving field: Allows for a smaller, light weight unit that operates 25% more efficiently than a revolving armature generator.
Skewed stator: Produces a smooth output waveform for compatibility with electronic equipment.
Displaced phase excitation: Maximizes motor starting capability.
Automatic voltage regulation: Regulates the output voltage to ‡1%, preventing damaging voltage spikes.
True Power Technoloay: Less than 5% total harmonic distortion (THD).

Evolution™ Controls

Auto/Manual/Off illuminated buttons: Selects the operating mode and provides easy, at-a-glance status indication in any condition.
Sealed, raised buttons: Smooth, weather-resistant user interface for programming and operations.
Utility voltage sensing: Constantly monitors utility voltage; defaults 156 V dropout, 190 V pick up.
Utility interrupt delay: Prevents nuisance start-ups of the engine; adjustable 2-1500 seconds from factory default setting of 5 seconds by a qualified dealer.
Voltage selection options: Output voltage is selectable through the controller from 220 V, 230 V, or 240 V.
Engine warm-up: Ensures engine is ready to assume the load, setpoint approximately 5 seconds.
Engine cool-down: Allows engine to cool prior to shutdown, setpoint approximately 1 minute. Operates engine to prevent oil seal drying and damage between power outages by running the generator for 5 minutes every other week.
Programmable seven day exercise: Also offers a selectable setting for Weekly, Bi-Weekly, or Monthly operation providing flexibility and potentially lower fuel costs to the owner.
Smart battery charger: Delivers charge to the battery only when needed at varying rates depending on outdoor air temperature. Compatible with lead acid and AGM-style batteries.
Main line circuit breaker: Protects generator from overload.
Electronic governor: Maintains constant 50 Hz trequency.

Unit

SAE weather protective enclosure: Sound attenuated enclosures ensure quiet operation and protection against mother nature, withstanding winds up to 150 mph. Hinged key locking roof panel for security. Lift-out front for easy access to all routine maintenance items. Electrostatically applied textured epoxy paint for added durability.
Enclosed critical grade muffler: Quiet, critical grade muffler is mounted inside the unit to prevent injuries.
Small, compact, attractive: Makes for an easy, eye appealing installation, as close as 18" away from a building.

Installation System

1 ft (305 mm) flexible fuel line connector: Absorbs any generator vibration when connected to rigid pipe.
Direct-to-dirt composite mounting pad: Complex lattice design prevents settling or sinking of the generator system.
Integral sediment trap: Prevents particles and moisture from entering the fuel regulator and engine, prolonging engine life.

Remote Monitoring

Ability to view generator status: Monitor the generator via a smartphone, tablet, or computer at any time via the Mobile Link application for complete peace of mind
Ability to view generator Exercise/Run and Total Hours: Review the generator's complete protection profile for exercise hours and total hours
Ability to view generator maintenance information: Provides maintenance information for your specific model generator when scheduled maintenance is due
Monthly report with previous month's activity.: Detailed monthly reports provide historical generator information
Ability to view generator battery information: Built in battery diagnostics displaying current state of the battery
Weather information: Provides detailed local ambient weather conditions for generator location
