Silent Generator Power Systems

A 10000 watt generator is considered a gap-filler between the portable, relatively light generators (1000 to 5000 watt generator models) and the heavier, more powerful 17000 watt to 25000 watt generator units.

As a general rule if you wish to power an entire house, a 25000 watt standby generator would probably be sufficient for most houses. Hence, a 1000 watt unit will probably not provide adequate electricity for an entire residence. This level of power is more suitable for those who can limit their use of appliances during power outages; selecting only the most essential ones that will help maintain a certain acceptable level of comfort its occupants.

When it comes to standby generators, one of the nicer brands that you can check out is the Briggs & Stratton. This company is known for creating engine-based products like lawnmowers, repair tools, engine parts, power generators, and other heavy-duty outdoor equipment.

The Briggs & Stratton 40243A

This 10000 watt generator is a finely designed whole house generator equipped with Briggs & Stratton 507cc Vanguard V-Twin engine that runs on either natural gas or propane and can provide an output of 10000 watts up to a maximum of 11750 to 12500 watts depending on whether it is a propane generator or a natural gas generator. Fuel system can be connected permanently to gas delivery systems for that unlimited supply of fuel with no need for manual refueling. It is designed for automatic switching with an advanced electronics system that detects power outages and requires no human intervention (fully automatic). This means you can have uninterrupted supply of electricity which is a great thing to have at home. It is also built with an automotive style exhaust system and foam dampeners that provides quiet operation most suitable for home backup power applications. It is also designed to take up a smaller space with a fortified, rust-proofed steel enclosure that is guaranteed to be sturdy and durable against the test of time.

This model is touted to be 50% quieter than most portable generators (most especially the open frame models) so if you value peace and quiet, you will surely love this very well designed Briggs and Stratton 10000 watt silent generator.

Titan Industrial is an All-American company that was founded in 1969 by Bobby L. Hawkins. It is a manufacturer of industrial quality equipments like air compressors, trash pumps, pressure washers and portable electric generators.

They take pride in their ability to design and produce quality equipments which they say passes through rigorous testing and quality checks in their production process so you can be sure that the products meet the highest standards. They say that the testament to this commitment to quality results in the drastic reduction in service and warranty issues among their products.

They categorize their line of portable generators as a member of the silent generator segment. Three of their portable generator models (ranging from 6800 watts to 9000 watts) are presented below:

Titan TG 7500D Industrial Generator – this single phase (60 Hz.) model sports a maximum output of 6800 watts. It is fitted with 9 horse power Titan diesel engine with a 3.5 gallon fuel tank capable of 9 hours continuous run time at 50% load. Safety features include a low oil shutdown and a circuit breaker protection mechanism. Noise level is pegged at a relatively noisy 84 dB (A) at 10 ft. Weight of the unit is around 280 lbs. but it comes with rubber wheels for portability. One nice feature of this model is the remote control start capability (electric start or manual recoil start capable).

Titan TG 8500 Industrial Generator – Like the TG 7500D, this model is a single phase (60 Hz.) with a maximum output of 8400 watts. Fitted with an 11 horse power Titan gasoline engine and a fuel tank capacity of 5 gallons, it is capable of 10 hours continuous operation at 50% load. It is also capable of shutting down when oil goes down to critical levels and is also equipped with a circuit breaker. Noise level is at 74 dB (A) which is better than the 7500D. It is also lighter at 220 lbs. No fancy start on this one as it is only designed for manual start.

Titan TG 9000 ES Industrial Generator – This is as powerful as the 8500 and is basically designed with the same stuff. The only difference is that this one is equipped with a remote control start

While these machines are not as quiet as the newer 3-phase inverter generators coming out lately, these Titan generators make up for that deficiency with their durability and high quality American engineering.

A natural gas generator is a good alternative to the conventional gasoline or diesel fueled generator. In fact, it may even offer a number of advantages especially when you are also trying to reduce your carbon foot print and are hoping to do your part to help clean up the air against green house gases that is causing the environment a lot of pain.

Natural gas generators burn cleaner compared to the other aforementioned fuel types and is relatively cheaper and more abundant in supply. It is also better than gasoline in terms of shelf-life because gasoline degrades quicker than natural gases which you can store in cylinders and tanks for long periods of time without having to worry about their stability. Refueling is also a pain when you talk about gasoline because it may involve spilling accidents and fumes that could contaminate the immediate environment.

And if you are looking to buy one of these machines, you will not go wrong by going for one of the top names when it comes to big and (relatively) silent generator technology— Generac.

Generac, particularly the Generac Guardian Standby/Backup Series, makes some of the best whole whose generator systems out there. Below is a list of some of the models included in this series:

Generac Guardian Model 5882 – This is the smallest of the entire Generac residential power generator line with a rated maximum AC output of 7000 watts (7 kW) for the natural gas version (the propane version is rated at 8000 watts). It is powered by an OHVI® engine that Generac specifically designed for generators. It produces clean and stable electrical current that can be safely used with common household electrical appliances and electronics. It is designed for quiet operation with a noise rating of 62 dB (A) at 23 ft. distance and at normal load. It is also built with a sturdy, weather-proof and corrosion-resistant enclosure made of galvanneal steal finished with a proprietary coating referred to as Rhinocoat. This model also features a sophisticated microcomputer controller called the Generac Nexus Controller equipped with a multi-language LDC display system for ease of monitoring and control.

Generac Guardian Model 5883 – This slightly more powerful 9000 watt natural gas-fueled model (propane model is 10,000 watts) basically has all the impressive features of 5882. They are virtually the same if not for the bigger engine of the 5883.

Generac Guardian Model 5885 & 5886 – This one is significantly more powerful than the 5882 and 5883. At 16,000 watts, it is more capable of powering an entire household’s electricity needs. It is also built with the features seen in the other models except of course the bigger and more powerful engine.

Generac Guardian Model 5887 – This rated 18,000 watt model should be good enough for most residential electricity needs. It is designed with the same technology along with the other generators in the series.
