Description

When the power goes out, your home doesn’t have to.

The Champion 26 kW Automatic Home Standby Generator System with 100A Service Entrance Automatic Transfer Switch delivers whole-house backup power without refueling, extension cords, or manual startup. It automatically detects outages and restores power within seconds.

At the heart of the system is Champion’s programmable fleX controller. It gives you control over how backup power is used. With load management modules, you can assign appliance priority levels (1–4), manage large electric loads, or lock out select circuits while on standby power—helping you use available capacity more efficiently.

Power Line Carrier technology simplifies installation by using your home’s existing wiring for communication, reducing the need for additional control wiring and helping lower installation time and cost.

The 999cc V-Twin engine delivers up to 23.4 kW on natural gas and 26 kW on propane, providing strong capacity for larger homes. The 24V starting system is engineered to operate in temperatures down to -22 °F for reliable cold-weather performance. At a residential-friendly 67 dB(A)*, it operates at a sound level comparable to normal conversation.

A corrosion-resistant all-aluminum enclosure provides long-lasting, weatherproof protection, while advanced airflow design supports cooler operating temperatures for extended engine life.

The included 100A service entrance automatic transfer switch features Wi-Fi Direct setup, digital controls, and a NEMA 3R aluminum enclosure for secure outdoor installation.

With fully automatic 24/7 operation and efficient performance at average loads, this system is built to help protect your home and daily routine during unexpected outages.
