Protect your home from unexpected power outages with the Briggs & Stratton PowerProtect™ PP13 13kW Standby Generator with 100 Amp 16-Circuit Transfer Switch. Delivering up to 13,000 watts on liquid propane (LP) and 11,500 watts on natural gas (NG), this compact home standby generator is designed to provide dependable automatic backup power while requiring less installation space.

Powered by a Vanguard® commercial-grade engine and engineered with Briggs & Stratton NGMax™ technology, the PowerProtect PP13 combines strong natural-gas performance with an exceptionally compact design. Its upright configuration, front exhaust, and corrosion-resistant aluminum enclosure make it especially attractive for homes where available outdoor space is limited.

The package includes a 100 Amp 16-circuit transfer switch, creating a practical backup-power solution for homeowners who want to protect selected essential circuits during an outage.

Key Features

  • 13kW LP / 11.5kW NG Output: Produces up to 13,000 running watts using liquid propane and 11,500 running watts using natural gas.
  • 100 Amp 16-Circuit Transfer Switch Included: Provides automatic transfer capability for a selected group of essential household circuits.
  • NGMax™ Technology: Engineered to provide strong generator performance when operating on natural gas.
  • 37 kVA Motor-Starting Capability: Provides additional starting capability for equipment and appliances with higher startup demands.
  • Compact Installation Footprint: Designed with a footprint stated to be 39% smaller than competing generators in its named class.
  • 18-Inch Installation Capability: Approved for professional installation as close as 18 inches from a building when installed in accordance with applicable manufacturer requirements.
  • Front Exhaust Design: Provides additional flexibility when determining generator placement around the home.
  • Vanguard® Commercial-Grade Engine: Built around Briggs & Stratton engine technology for reliable standby operation.
  • Dual-Fuel Capability: Designed to operate using either natural gas or liquid propane.
  • Corrosion-Resistant Aluminum Enclosure: Reinforced aluminum construction features Briggs & Stratton's Dura-Zen™ coating for long-term outdoor durability.
  • 16-Second Weekly Exercise Cycle: A short weekly test cycle helps verify generator readiness while reducing unnecessary noise and fuel consumption.
  • Remote Generator Monitoring: Check generator status and receive service-related information using a compatible smartphone, tablet, or computer.
  • Symphony® Choice Compatible: Optional Symphony Choice Power Management can help prioritize electrical loads according to available generator capacity.
  • 7-Year Comprehensive Warranty: Warranty coverage includes parts, labor, mileage, and major components according to applicable Briggs & Stratton warranty terms.
  • Engineered and Assembled in the USA: Backed by more than a century of Briggs & Stratton experience in power equipment.

Compact Standby Power for Homes with Limited Space

Finding room for a standby generator can be challenging on properties with narrow side yards, smaller lots, landscaping restrictions, or limited equipment space.

The PowerProtect PP13 was designed specifically with installation flexibility in mind.

Its upright configuration provides a footprint stated to be 39% smaller than competing generators in its named class, while its front-exhaust design provides additional flexibility when selecting an installation location.

When installed according to Briggs & Stratton requirements, the generator can be professionally installed as close as 18 inches from a building, making it an attractive option for homes where installation space is at a premium.

Natural Gas or Liquid Propane Operation

The Briggs & Stratton PowerProtect PP13 can operate on either natural gas (NG) or liquid propane (LP).

Generator output varies depending on the selected fuel:

Fuel Running Output
Liquid Propane (LP) 13,000 Watts
Natural Gas (NG) 11,500 Watts

The generator incorporates NGMax™ technology, designed to deliver strong performance when the unit is operating on natural gas.

Fuel selection should be based on fuel availability, installation requirements, expected electrical demand, and the home's existing utility infrastructure.

37 kVA Motor-Starting Power

Running wattage isn't the only consideration when choosing a standby generator.

Equipment containing electric motors can require significantly more power during startup than during normal operation. This can include air-conditioning equipment, pumps, refrigerators, and other motor-driven appliances.

The PowerProtect PP13 provides 37 kVA of motor-starting capability, helping the generator accommodate the temporary electrical demand associated with starting larger equipment.

Actual equipment compatibility should always be determined from the electrical requirements of the connected loads.

100 Amp 16-Circuit Transfer Switch Included

This package includes a 100 Amp 16-circuit transfer switch, eliminating the need to purchase the transfer switch separately for compatible installations.

Rather than backing up every circuit in the home, a 16-circuit configuration allows selected circuits to be designated for generator power.

Depending on the home's electrical requirements, these circuits could include equipment such as refrigerators, lighting, internet equipment, selected receptacles, heating equipment, pumps, or other essential household loads.

The final circuit configuration should be determined by a qualified installer according to generator capacity and household electrical requirements.

Symphony Choice Power Management

The PowerProtect PP13 is compatible with optional Symphony® Choice Power Management.

Power management can help prioritize electrical loads so that a properly designed system can operate important equipment without requiring every connected load to run simultaneously.

This can be particularly useful when designing a standby-power system around larger electrical loads.

Remote Generator Monitoring

Homeowners can monitor generator status remotely using a compatible smartphone, tablet, or computer.

Remote monitoring makes it easier to check the standby system and receive relevant service information without needing to physically inspect the generator.

For homeowners who travel frequently or maintain a second property, remote monitoring can provide additional visibility into generator status while away from home.

Durable Aluminum Enclosure

Standby generators spend their operating life outdoors, making enclosure construction particularly important.

The PowerProtect PP13 uses a reinforced, corrosion-resistant aluminum enclosure with Dura-Zen™ coating designed to maintain durability and appearance in outdoor environments.

Quiet 16-Second Weekly Exercise Cycle

Standby generators periodically perform an automatic exercise cycle to help ensure that the system remains ready for an outage.

Briggs & Stratton's 16-second weekly test mode provides a short exercise cycle designed to verify generator readiness while helping reduce unnecessary noise and fuel consumption.
