Briggs & Stratton 17kW 40661 PowerProtect Generator Features:
- The all-new Briggs & Stratton 17kW 40661 features a robust commercial-grade Vanguard® 993cc V-2 engine with a maximum of 3600 RPM. It has improved controls and automatic voltage regulation. The air-cooled gas generator runs on LP and natural gas.
- This 60Hz model is offered in a 120/240v single-phase configuration. Engine noise and vibration are reduced by the dynamically balanced crankshaft. The engine has OHV cylinders with cast iron sleeves and overhead valves with hardened seats.
- The oil tank stores 78 oz / 2.31 L of Schaeffer full synthetic (5W30) and makes this a low-maintenance generator. The oil system shields the engine from sludge buildup and deposits. Advanced debris management keeps the engine clean and cool so the unit can deliver optimal performance for long hours.
- Voltage spikes damage micro-circuits of modern electronics. The Automatic Voltage Regulator protects the sensitive electronics against voltage fluctuations. Total harmonic distortion is < 5.
- The controller has a digital display to check the oil level, battery status, runtime, etc. InfoHub Wireless Monitoring System offers real-time generator status updates from remote locations using smartphones, tablets, laptops, and PCs.
- The hinged roof and removable panels of the aluminum enclosure ensure tool-less access for quick service and maintenance. This gray enclosure incorporates a durable scratch- and corrosion-resistant powder finish.
- This Power Protect Series generator can be installed 18 inches from the house.
- The Briggs & Stratton 17kW 40661 listings include cUL, UL 2200, and Massachusetts Plumbers and Gasfitters Listing.
