When choosing the right Guardian Generator, you must first decide how many circuits or rooms in your home or small business you should protect. The more circuits that require protection, the larger the generator you need.

The automatic transfer switch in pre-packaged, air-cooled systems allows you to match the system’s load center circuits to the amperage in your home’s main distribution panel. (See Fig. A). Simply determine which circuits to protect during an outage and choose a generator. There is no need to add up wattages, since you’ll never use all appliances on every circuit at the same time.

NOTE: Rooms and appliances are shown as example only. You may choose other items that better fit your needs. Due to the cycling nature of some appliances all items may not be able to run simultaneously. *A 240V 2-pole circuit breaker is equal to 2 circuits. For smaller central air conditioning units only. Check A/C starting requirements.

Figure-B is an example of the circuits that can be protected with a 16kW (16 circuits) pre-packaged air-cooled generator.
