MILWAUKEE, Wis., Feb. 14, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Briggs &
Stratton Corporation is pleased to announce the launch of three new
12kW*, 17kW* and 20kW* standby generator units at the International
Builders Show in Las Vegas,
February 19-21. The new units are
enhanced with an improved controller for more efficient operations.
They're also equipped with an updated InfoHub system and Amplify,
the next generation of Symphony® II power management.
The units are a part of Briggs & Stratton's robust line of
high-quality standby generators ranging in power from 8kW* to
200kW*.
"These three new units offer customers a flexible, connected
standby power solution," said Josh
Cirillo, product manager, Briggs & Stratton®.
"The enhancements made to the controller increase efficiency, while
the expanded capabilities of InfoHub and the Amplify power
management system provide more control and ease of use for true
peace of mind with standby power."
Innovations on the three new units offer enhanced control and
optimized performance. The new controller features a new exercise
cycle; tighter frequency control; and smart automatic voltage
regulator for reduced fuel consumption, quieter operation and
decreased engine impact. Additionally, the new 12kW* features a
brushed alternator with an improved surge current for motor
starting capabilities. It can now start a 5-ton air conditioning
unit with 50 percent of base load. The smart automatic voltage
regulator works in concert with the brushed alternator on the 12kW*
unit to achieve improved starting. It's also common across the
12kW*, 17kW* and 20kW* offerings and can be replaced individually
on all of the new units, eliminating the need to replace the entire
controller.
The updated InfoHub is available on the three new units and
collects in-depth data on performance and maintenance needs to
enhance generator management. It works in conjunction with the new
Briggs & Stratton Service Diagnostic Tool, which simplifies
service and troubleshooting by providing detailed diagnostics.
Amplify, is also included on the new units and allows customers the
flexibility to prioritize up to 32 different power modules through
a smartphone compatible app, streamlining power management.
