Guardian 26KW Generator Features And Benefits

More Power. More Protection. From A Brand You Trust. Introducing the Guardian 26kW Home Standby Generator, from the #1 Manufacturer of Backup Power Products. With more than 60 years of experience in the backup power industry, it’s no wonder why 8 out of 10 home standby generators installed are Generac.

Key Features

Generac’s 26kW home standby generator can start all of your home’s large appliances, ensuring your home remains a sanctuary for you and your family. New alternator design that produces 230LRA or 55.2kVA starting power to meet todays and tomorrows electrical needs.
Compact with a powerful punch: Takes up to 68% less space*, all while offering 2.6X more power in the same size enclosure as our baseline air-cooled unit.
Save up to $8,000 in product & installation costs
Generac's G-Force Engine is a purpose-built, pressure-lubricated engine capable of handling the rigors of generator use, resulting in power that’s more reliable and requires less routine maintenance than any competitive engine.
True Power™ Technology delivers best-in-class power quality with less than 5 percent total harmonic distortion for clean, smooth operation of sensitive electronics and appliances.
Quiet-Test™ Self-Test Mode runs at a lower RPM for a five or twelve minute test, making generators significantly quieter than other brands while consuming less fuel.
Mobile Link™ Remote Monitoring FREE with every Guardian Series Home standby generator allows you to monitor the status of your generator from anywhere in the world using a smartphone, tablet, or PC. Easily access information, such as the current operating status and maintenance alerts.
24/7•365 Customer Support Team standing by all day, every day from our headquarters in Wisconsin to answer any questions you might have.
Smart, User-Friendly Controls. Generac’s Evolution™ Controller features a multilingual LCD display that allows users to monitor battery status and track maintenance intervals to ensure your generator is always in top operating condition.
Tough, Durable All-Aluminum Enclosures: Our RhinoCoat™ powder-coated finish helps make corrosion-resistant aluminum perfect for all weather conditions.
5 Year Limited Warranty for automatic standby generators.
Generac generators and engines are Engineered and Built in the USA

Engine

Generac G-Force design: Maximizes engine “breathing” for increased fuel efficiency. Plateau honed cylinder walls and plasma moly rings help the engine run cooler, reducing oil consumption and resulting in longer engine life.
“Spiny-lok” cast iron cylinder walls: Rigid construction and added durability provide long engine life.
Electronic ignition/spark advance: These features combine to assure smooth, quick starting every time.
Full pressure lubrication system: Pressurized lubrication to all vital bearings means better performance, less maintenance, and longer engine life. Now featuring up to a 2 year/200 hour oil change interval.
Low oil pressure shutdown system: Shutdown protection prevents catastrophic engine damage due to low oil.
EPA Certified for non-emergency applications: Allows unit to be used for demand response applications.
High temperature shutdown: Prevents damage due to overheating.

Generator

Revolving field: Allows for a smaller, light weight unit that operates 25% more efficiently than a revolving armature generator.
Skewed stator: Produces a smooth output waveform for compatibility with electronic equipment.
Displaced phase excitation: Maximizes motor starting capability.
Automatic voltage regulation: Regulating output voltage to ±1% prevents damaging voltage spikes.
UL 2200 listed: For your safety.

Transfer Switch (if applicable)

Fully automatic: Transfers vital electrical loads to the energized source of power.
NEMA 3R: Can be installed inside or outside for maximum flexibility.
Integrated load management technology: Capability to manage additional loads for efficient power management.
Remote mounting: Mounts near an existing distribution panel for simple, low-cost installation.

Evolution™ Controls

AUTO/MANUAL/OFF illuminated: buttons Selects the operating mode and provides easy, at-a-glance status indication in any condition.
Two-line multilingual LCD: Provides homeowners easily visible logs of history, maintenance, and events up to 50 occurrences.
Sealed, raised buttons: Smooth, weather-resistant user interface for programming and operations.
Utility voltage sensing: Constantly monitors utility voltage, setpoints 65% dropout, 80% pick-up, of standard voltage.
Generator voltage sensing: Constantly monitors generator voltage to verify the cleanest power delivered to the home.
Utility interrupt delay: Prevents nuisance start-ups of the engine, adjustable 2-1500 seconds from the factory default setting of 5 seconds by a qualified dealer.
Engine warm-up: Verifies engine is ready to assume the load, setpoint approximately 5 seconds.
Engine cool-down: Allows engine to cool prior to shutdown, setpoint approximately 1 minute.
Programmable exercise: Operates engine to prevent oil seal drying and damage between power outages by running the generator for 5 minutes every other week. Also offers a selectable setting for weekly or monthly operation providing flexibility and potentially lower fuel costs to the owner.
Smart battery charger: Delivers charge to the battery only when needed at varying rates depending on outdoor air temperature. Compatible with lead acid and AGM-style batteries.
Main line circuit breaker: Protects generator from overload.
Electronic governor: Maintains constant 60 Hz frequency
