Hydraulic valve lifters and industrial-grade construction deliver the durability commercial applications demand, while 1800 RPM operation provides fuel-efficient performance with reduced noise output. Pre-installed block heater ensures reliable cold-weather starting and faster warm-up times.

277/480V Three-Phase Power for Commercial Applications

Purpose-designed for commercial buildings with 277/480V three-phase electrical service, this generator integrates seamlessly with existing commercial electrical systems. 188 rated amps handle substantial motor loads, HVAC systems, lighting, and critical equipment without compromise.

Dual Fuel Flexibility for Uninterrupted Operation

Operate on clean-burning natural gas or LP vapor with simple field conversion while maintaining emissions certification. Natural gas connection provides unlimited runtime during extended outages, while LP capability offers fuel independence when natural gas service is compromised.

Fuel Consumption Efficiency:

  • Natural Gas: 1,084 ft³/hr at 50% load, 1,678 ft³/hr at full load 
  • LP Vapor: 11 gallons/hr at 50% load, 18.8 gallons/hr at full load

Exceptional Power Quality for Sensitive Equipment

Ultra-low Total Harmonic Distortion (THD) delivers utility-grade power quality that protects sensitive electronics, computer systems, and precision equipment. Exceptional voltage and frequency regulation with integrated hybrid voltage regulator maintains +/- 0.5% regulation—tighter than many utility sources.

The generator works really well and provides steady power for my home office during outages. Setup was simple and it started on the first try. My only downside is that it’s a bit heavy to move around, so I recommend keeping it in one spot. Overall, great value for the price and very reliable.
