Champion Power Equipment 12500 Watt (12.5kW) Dual Fuel 50-State Air-Cooled Home Standby Generator with 100-Amp Automatic Transfer Switch

Description

Residential and commercial building codes mandate automatic electrical backup restoration during severe weather blackouts without fuel storage permits. The Champion Power Equipment 12500 Watt Standby Generator delivers 12.5kW on propane and 11kW on natural gas. You restore power through an included 100-Amp transfer switch. However, this stationary generator requires professional utility gas piping.

Champion engineers this standby generator inside an all-weather galvanized steel acoustic cabinet lined with sound-dampening foam insulation. A commercial 717cc V-twin Champion OHV engine turns an all-copper alternator at 3600 RPM. The included 100-Amp automatic transfer switch features an eight-circuit indoor sub-panel. Net dry weight measures 425 lbs, mounted on a pre-formed composite polymer ground pad without site concrete curing delays on residential properties.

Dynamometer Bench Testing Load Telemetry

Dynamometer bench testing demonstrates continuous 12.5kW electrical generation at 240V on liquid propane without voltage sag. The automatic transfer switch detects utility power loss and completes contactor transfer in 9.2 seconds. Total harmonic distortion remains under 4.2% across full electrical load banks at 60 Hz. Sound profile meters record a quiet 63 dBA at 23 feet distance. The engine air-cooling system maintains stable head temperatures of 280°F across five continuous hours of full-power dyno testing on test pads.

Field Operation Usability Maintenance Directives

The generator initiates automatic operation through the transfer switch, starting upon grid failure and shutting down when utility power returns. The hinged roof panel provides tool-free access to dipstick, filters, and spark plug. Do not install this standby generator within five feet of windows, doors, or combustible home siding.

• Inspect engine oil level through the side inspection panel every 30 days.
• Replace engine oil and oil filter after every 100 hours of continuous outage duty.
• Clear grass clippings and snow from enclosure ventilation louvers after storms.
