Briggs & Stratton 040795 22kW PowerProtect+ Generator with 200A SE Transfer Switch Features:
Briggs & Stratton 040795 22kW PowerProtect™ Generator with 200 Amp SE Transfer Switch
The Briggs & Stratton 040795 22kW PowerProtect™ generator with 200A service entrance transfer switch is a complete whole-home backup power system designed to automatically protect your home during outages. This system combines a powerful 22kW standby generator with a 200-amp transfer switch, allowing it to seamlessly take over your home’s electrical load within seconds of a utility failure.
With 22kW of standby power and 120/240-volt single-phase output, this generator is capable of powering large residential homes with multiple HVAC systems, appliances, lighting circuits, and essential equipment. The included 200A service entrance rated transfer switch enables full-home coverage, making it an ideal solution for homeowners who want uninterrupted power across their entire electrical system.
At the core of the system is a Briggs & Stratton Vanguard® V-twin engine, engineered for long-term durability and reliable standby performance. Operating at 3,600 RPM with full pressure lubrication, the engine is built to handle extended outages while maintaining consistent output. The generator produces less than 5% total harmonic distortion (THD), delivering clean, stable electricity that is safe for sensitive electronics, smart home systems, and modern appliances.
Designed for residential environments, the generator features a corrosion-resistant aluminum enclosure and operates at sound levels as low as 64 dB in low idle mode and 68 dB during normal operation, helping minimize noise during operation. The system also includes an advanced controller with programmable exercise cycles, real-time monitoring, and diagnostic capabilities to ensure the generator remains ready at all times.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the benefit of a 200A service entrance transfer switch?
A 200A service entrance transfer switch allows the generator to power your entire home instead of just selected circuits. It automatically transfers power from the utility to the generator during an outage and back again when power is restored.
What can a 22kW generator with a 200A transfer switch power?
A 22kW generator paired with a 200A transfer switch can power most large homes, including HVAC systems, appliances, lighting, and essential electrical systems. Load management may still be needed depending on total demand.
Is this a complete standby generator system?
Yes. The Briggs & Stratton 040795 includes both the 22kW generator and a 200A transfer switch, making it a complete whole-home backup power solution.
Does this generator produce clean power for electronics?
Yes. The generator produces less than 5% total harmonic distortion, providing stable, utility-quality electricity that is safe for sensitive electronics and modern appliances.
What fuel does the generator use?
The generator operates on natural gas or liquid propane vapor, allowing flexibility based on your installation and fuel availability.
How loud is the generator?
The generator operates at approximately 64 dB in low idle mode and 68 dB during normal operation, making it relatively quiet for a residential standby generator.
