Product Features

Description

Powerpact 7.5Kw Generator Features And Benefits Generac’s 7.5 kW PowerPact™ home standby generator is the affordable, automatic alternative to portable backup power. Features incorporate many of the qualities and reliability of the best selling Guardian Series, while remaining the most affordable home standby generator available. Significantly quieter than a portable generator, it protects the home’s most essential circuits, like refrigerators, well pumps and select appliances, without having to manually set up during inclement weather, refuel, or run electrical cords.

Key Features

Powers 8 circuits of your home with the 50-amp, NEMA 1 (indoor rated only) lightweight transfer switch.
3 Year Limited Warranty for automatic standby generators.
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 generators and engines are engineered and built in the USA*.
Generac OHV engine is designed for reliability and long-life operation.
24/7/365 Customer Support Team standing by all day, every day from our headquarters in Wisconsin to answer any questions you might have.
Durable powder-coat finish helps make the sturdy, galvanneal steel enclosure perfect for all weather conditions.

Engine

Generac (OHV) design: Maximizes engine “breathing” for increased fuel efficiency. Plateau honed cylinder walls and plasma moly rings help the engine run cooler, reducing oil consumption and resulting in longer engine life.
Cast iron cylinder walls: Rigid construction and added durability provide long engine life.
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: Regulating output voltage to ±5% prevents damaging voltage spikes.
UL 2200 listed: For your safety.

Transfer Switch (if applicable)

Fully automatic Transfers vital electrical loads to the energized source of power.
Remote mounting Mounts near existing distribution panel for simple, low cost installation.
Flush mountable Can be installed between studs like a standard electrical panel.
UL 1008 listed For your safety

Digital Controls

Multiple LED annunciation Provides specific system information without having to open the generator enclosure.
AUTO/OFF/MANUAL buttons Select the operating mode.
Utility voltage sensing Constantly monitors utility voltage, setpoints 65% dropout, 80% pick-up, of standard voltage.
Utility interrupt delay Prevents nuisance start-ups of the engine, setpoint approximately 5 seconds.
Engine warm-up Ensures engine is ready to assume the load, setpoint approximately 6 seconds.
Engine cool-down Allows engine to cool prior to shutdown, setpoint approximately 1 minute.
Cold Smart Start If the ambient temperature is cold, allows the engine to warm up before load is applied.
Seven day exerciser Operates engine to prevent oil seal drying and damage between power outages.
Smart battery charger Maintains battery charge level to ensure starting.
Main line circuit breaker Protects generator from overload.
Multiple protection features Prevents additional damage from occurring within the generator if a fault condition arises.

Unit

UL weather protective enclosure: Sound attenuated enclosure ensures quiet operation and protection against mother nature. Three panels are removable for easy service and maintenance access.
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 in (457 mm) away from a structure

Installation System

14 in (35.6 cm) flexible fuel line connector: Listed ANSI Z21.75/CSA 6.27 outdoor appliance connector for the required connection to the gas supply piping.
