MILWAUKEE, Dec. 13, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Briggs &
Stratton Corporation is partnering with ASCO to engineer and
manufacture automatic transfer switches to support Briggs &
Stratton's new 80kW - 200kW standby generators. Briggs &
Stratton's light commercial standby generator power line is
designed for small commercial buildings or large homes.
"Our focus for the new 80kW - 200kW standby generator line is to
give our certified dealers and the homeowners and business owners
they serve, a reliable, durable, product from a trustworthy
company," said Brian Northway,
product manager for Briggs & Stratton standby power.
"Partnering with ASCO, an established leader in the power-transfer
industry, is a natural fit because they're known for building
exceptional transfer units that manage large power loads."
ASCO and Briggs & Stratton transfer switches leverage
elements from ASCO's extensive product portfolio. A transfer switch
seamlessly and automatically moves a building's power from utility
power to backup power in the event of a power outage. Briggs &
Stratton is backing the new transfer switch with a three-year parts
and labor warranty1.

natural gas, are available in 80kW, 100kW, 150kW and 200kW.
