Generac Generators Updates the 20kw Standby Generator to New Model – 6244
Generac Power Systems introduced the updated model 6244, 20kW Guardian Standby Generator using the new Evolution Controller. The favorite package previously sold under model #5875 which includes the 200 Amp, Service-Entrance-Rated Smart Switch, a computerized transfer switch. The brand new version of the Guardian Series backup generators was introduced in January on the 2013 International Builder’s Show in Vegas, Nevada.
Generac’s Guardian Series Home Standby Generators work with an automatic transfer switch the signal from supply capacity to a home after a power outage without homeowner intervention and work on either propane (LP gas) or Gas Main, eliminating the requirement for frequent refueling.
Evolution Controller
The Evolution replaces the Nexus Controller and includes numerous updated features. The brand new interface is really a back-lit membrane keypad to exhibit generator status in a flash. Other extra features go above the cosmetic. The live view screen still shows two lines of text and reports maintenance logs, generator status alerts, and alarms, but new functional features help house owners with better details about battery health, together with alarms for the battery charger, overload, and fuse warnings to spot challenges before they become problems.
The brand new Evolution also supplies usb port spot that permits a technician to update the firmware without taking out the controller―a much better solution than swapping your old Nexus controller for one with updated programming.
Engine Upgrades
The Guardian number of generators uses Generac’s specially engineered overhead valve industrial engine―the only engine on the market that has been created specifically for usage in standby generators. Generac makes the engines inside their standby units easier to service and contains improved starting at a wide range of temperatures using the new updated model line. A redesigned fuel system eliminates the choke and contains a standard throttle body.
Guardian generators ship through the factory prepared to run using gas. Conversion to LP gas is definitely easy and took barely any time, but the new design allows conversion without tools and only requires a matter of moments. It is simply by turning a knob.
Whole House Power
With 20,000 watts of power, the 6244 can run many home appliances including air conditioning. The Smart Switch contains a load-shedding controller that permits high-voltage appliances to run without overloading the generator. The Smart Switch senses an overload condition and turns off high-voltage loads in order of assigned priority.
Without additional hardware, the Smart Switch can control two air conditioning. Digging in an energy Management Module core kit allows adding a third high-voltage device. Fully full of four Power Management Modules (PMMs) permits the smart change to manage when using two air conditioning and four additional high-voltage, high-current appliances.
Neighborhood Friendly Design
The 20kW 6244 will fit easily into any suburban neighborhood. The all-metal enclosure is powder coat painted to have an attractive appearance and made from Galvaaneal steel for a long, corrosion free-life. At just 66db, it can be quieter than many central air conditioning equipment units―important for keeping the neighbors happy when their capability is out and their windows are wide open. Placement is created easy by compliance with National Fire Protection Association codes and regulations for placement at 18 inches from the home.
Generac leads the industry with standby generators for backup home power, now the Guardian lineup gets a necessary update.
