Guardian® Elite Commercial Series 18 – 150 kW Generators

GUARDIAN® is now doing to the commercial market what it has already done to the residential market... making standby power reliable, yet affordable. Protect your revenue stream by investing in a GUARDIAN Elite™ Commercial Series automatic standby generator. Our GUARDIAN Elite Commercial generators are ideal for a broad range of enterprises, including restaurants, convenience stores, supermarkets, banks, fitness centers, hotels, and retail outlets.

 

All Elite Commercial models are available in both single and three-phase configurations. They run on either natural gas or LPV, feature automotive style, liquid-cooled engines and GUARDIAN's exclusive Whisper-Test™ feature. Our 18, 25, 35 and 45 kW premium models come standard with higher displacement, low speed engines and aluminum enclosures. Aluminum enclosures are optional on the 60 kW and larger models.

 

Whisper Quiet Operation
GUARDIAN's exclusive Whisper-Test low speed exercise feature makes our GUARDIAN Elite products the quietest liquid-cooled generators on the market. Whisper-Test reduces noise by 50% during the generator's weekly self-test cycle allowing for near silent operation that satisfies all known sound ordinances.

 

Affordable Revenue Protection
During a utility outage, a GUARDIAN Elite will protect your revenue stream and prevent expensive losses by keeping your business... in business. Not only are our products engineered for reliability and long life, our volume production and short lead times make GUARDIAN Elite products an even better value.

  • Value Models: The most affordable protection in the industry for large homes and small to mid-sized businesses.

The transfer switch monitors utility power and signals the generator to start when utility power is interrupted. When utility power returns, the transfer switch returns the electrical load from the generator back to the utility. This ensures your most important electrical loads are powered, within seconds, even when you’re away.

The transfer switch is the difference between a truly automatic generator set and just another generator. No toggles to flip, no knobs to turn, no extension cords to run when you lose utility power. You will have the comfort and peace-of-mind knowing that your GUARDIAN standby generator does everything for you... automatically.

Suggested Transfer Switch
When choosing a transfer switch, you must match or exceed the generator output amperage. The following table illustrates a suggested transfer switch to use with each generator. The transfer switch to be used is based on the kW rating and voltage of the generator. All GUARDIAN transfer switches are UL 1008 Listed to meet safety and performance standards.

Transfer Switch ---
Liquid-cooled models with 4.2 liter engines or smaller use RTS transfer switches (100-400 amps).
Liquid-cooled models with engines over 4.2 liters use HTS transfer switches (100-800 amps).
