Model Number: 040794
Protect homes with multiple electrical panels using the Briggs & Stratton 040794 22kW PowerProtect™ Standby Generator with Dual 200 Amp Service Entrance Transfer Switches. This residential standby-power package combines a 22kW automatic generator with two 200 Amp service-entrance-rated transfer switches, providing greater installation flexibility for properties with multiple electrical panels or more complex electrical-service configurations.
Delivering 120/240V single-phase power, the PowerProtect 22kW provides substantial backup capacity for residential applications. Depending on total electrical demand and system configuration, it can support central HVAC equipment, refrigeration, pumps, lighting, appliances, electronics, security systems, and other important household loads during a utility outage.
At the heart of the system is a Briggs & Stratton Vanguard® V-Twin engine, engineered for reliable standby operation. Combined with dual-fuel capability, full-pressure lubrication, low-THD electrical output, automatic controls, and a corrosion-resistant aluminum enclosure, the 040794 provides a comprehensive foundation for residential backup power.
The major difference between the Briggs & Stratton 040794 and a conventional single-transfer-switch package is the inclusion of two 200 Amp service entrance transfer switches.
Some larger homes and properties have multiple electrical panels or electrical-service configurations that require more than one transfer switch.
The dual-transfer-switch configuration provides installers with additional flexibility when integrating the standby generator into these electrical systems.
This can make the 040794 particularly useful for properties with:
The appropriate configuration should always be determined from the property's actual electrical-service design.
The two transfer switches determine how electrical loads can be transferred between utility and generator power. They do not increase the electrical output of the generator.
The Briggs & Stratton 040794 remains a 22kW generator.
For example, a property may have two electrical panels connected through the appropriate transfer configuration, but the combined electrical demand placed on the generator must remain within the generator's available capacity.
If potential demand exceeds generator capacity, load management may be necessary to prevent excessive loads from operating simultaneously.
When utility power is operating normally, the home's electrical system receives electricity from the utility.
If an outage occurs, the automatic transfer system detects the loss of utility power and initiates generator startup.
Once the PowerProtect generator is ready to supply electricity, the transfer system transitions the appropriate electrical loads from utility power to generator power.
When utility service returns, the transfer system moves the electrical loads back to utility power and the generator completes its shutdown sequence.
This automatic process allows the standby-power system to respond whether you're home or away.
With 22kW of standby capacity, the Briggs & Stratton 040794 is designed for homes with substantial backup-power requirements.
Depending on individual equipment requirements and total electrical demand, a properly configured system may support equipment such as:
The amount of equipment that can operate simultaneously depends on the combined running and starting requirements of the connected loads.
Central HVAC equipment can represent one of the largest electrical demands in a home.
Air conditioners, heat pumps, compressors, pumps, and other motor-driven equipment may require significantly more power during startup than during normal operation.
The PowerProtect 22kW provides substantial residential standby capacity, making it suitable for consideration when maintaining heating and cooling is an important backup-power objective.
Actual HVAC compatibility should be determined using the equipment's electrical specifications and starting requirements rather than tonnage alone.
Modern residential electrical systems contain sensitive electronic components throughout the home.
Computers, televisions, Wi-Fi equipment, security systems, smart-home devices, HVAC control boards, and modern appliances all benefit from stable electrical power.
The Briggs & Stratton 040794 is specified to produce less than 5% total harmonic distortion (THD), providing stable electrical output for modern household equipment.
The Briggs & Stratton PowerProtect 22kW is designed to operate on either natural gas or liquid propane vapor.
Natural gas may be convenient for properties already connected to an appropriately sized utility gas service, while propane provides another option for properties without natural-gas availability.
The fuel supply must be properly sized according to generator demand, fuel type, piping distance, pressure, local conditions, and installation requirements.
Because standby generators remain outdoors throughout the year, enclosure construction is an important consideration.
The Briggs & Stratton 040794 features a corrosion-resistant aluminum enclosure designed to protect the generator's internal components from outdoor conditions.
The supplied specifications also identify a high-wind-rated enclosure design, making the system suitable for consideration in areas where severe-weather installation requirements are important.
The generator is designed to operate across temperatures ranging from approximately -20°F to 104°F.
The supplied specifications list the following approximate operating sound levels:
| Operating Condition | Sound Level |
|---|---|
| Low Idle | 64 dBA |
| Normal Operation | 68 dBA |
Actual perceived sound will vary depending on generator placement, distance, nearby structures, terrain, and installation conditions.
A standby generator may remain unused for extended periods between utility outages.
The PowerProtect system includes a programmable exercise cycle, allowing the generator to periodically operate and help verify system readiness.
Its advanced controller also provides operating information, diagnostic feedback, and system status information for homeowners and service professionals.

The dual-transfer-switch configuration is intended to provide greater installation flexibility for properties with multiple electrical panels or compatible electrical-service configurations.
The exact use of each transfer switch depends on the property's electrical design and should be determined by a qualified installer.
No.
The transfer-switch ratings should not be added together to determine generator output. The generator remains rated at 22kW, regardless of the number of transfer switches installed.
The transfer switches manage how compatible electrical systems transition between utility and generator power.
The dual-transfer-switch configuration can provide generator access to loads across compatible multiple-panel installations.
However, the combined load placed on the generator must remain within its available capacity.
If the potential demand across both panels exceeds generator output, appropriate load management may be required.
Potentially, depending on the home's electrical demand.
A 22kW generator provides substantial residential backup capacity, but homes with multiple HVAC systems, electric heat, water heaters, ranges, dryers, pool equipment, EV chargers, or other large electrical loads may exceed generator capacity if too many loads operate simultaneously.
