Briggs & Stratton has introduced three new models in its PowerProtect+ standby generator line, expanding the series with 18-, 22- and 26-kilowatt units.
According to the company, the new lineup includes 64 engineering upgrades. A front-facing exhaust design remains one of the central features. Briggs & Stratton said the exhaust directs heat and fumes away from nearby structures and landscaping while allowing greater flexibility during installation.
The PowerProtect+ models also include the company’s EnergyTrak remote monitoring platform as standard equipment. Through the EnergyTrak mobile app, operators can monitor generator status, while dealers can identify maintenance issues earlier through remote diagnostics.
The 26-kilowatt model measures 46 by 27 by 28 inches and delivers more than 26 kilowatts on liquid propane and 24 kilowatts on natural gas. It includes 65.5 kilovolt-amperes of motor-starting power.
The 22-kilowatt model, also measuring 46 by 27 by 28 inches, delivers 22 kilowatts on both liquid propane and natural gas. The 18-kilowatt model uses the same dimensions and delivers 18 kilowatts on both fuel types. Both models provide 45 kilovolt-amperes of motor-starting power.
Briggs & Stratton also continues to offer its 13-kilowatt PowerProtect model. The company said the 13-kilowatt unit has a 43% smaller footprint than competing models and delivers 37 kilovolt-amperes of motor-starting power.
“What sets Briggs & Stratton apart from other generator manufacturers is our 115-plus years of power experience,” said Tom Rugg. “We continue to innovate the home standby generator category and continue to stand behind our products so homeowners have peace of mind knowing their Briggs & Stratton generator will get them through any storm and power outage that may occur.”
Briggs & Stratton said the PowerProtect+ line is backed by a seven-year warranty covering parts, labor and travel.
