Why Briggs & Stratton®?
Briggs & Stratton is making backup power more affordable withthe Symphony® II Power Management system. As the most customizable Power Management system on the market, this standby generator technology provides your family unprecedented peace of mind and protection during a power outage.
What Symphony® II Does
Symphony® II Power Management automatically balances the electrical load of your home appliances— including high-wattage items like air conditioning units, electric stoves and electric dryers — to ensure your family experiences uninterrupted, whole-house power with a more affordable standby generator.
How You Save with Symphony® II
With the Symphony® II Power Management, you can purchase a smaller, more affordable home generator system that still provides whole-house backup power. With Symphony® II Power Management, you’ll benefit from:
• Your reduced initial investment
• Lower gas costs
• Lower generator installation costs
How Symphony® II Works
Symphony® II Power Management lets you power up to eight high-wattage appliances based on your family’s specific power needs. It then manages the distribution of power from the backup generator to those appliances — automatically. Don’t worry about overloading the system because load management ensures the generator won’t overload so that your family can continue with its daily routine uninterrupted.
Additionally, the Symphony® II Power Management transfer switch is wired into your home’s existing wiring, where it monitors your home’s electrical circuits, so you save on generator installation cost.

HOW TO SELECT THE IDEAL AUTOMATIC TRANSFER SWITCH?
With Briggs & Stratton’s complete line of automatic transfer switches, you can take charge before the power goes out. A transfer switch is the brains behind the system. It is the direct line of communication between utility power and the generator. All generator systems require the purchase and installation of a transfer switch. In some cases it is included with the generator; we call this a bundle.
Automatic Transfer Switches come in 4 sizes: 50 Amps, 100 Amps, 200 Amps and Dual 200/400 Amps. The size you need is based off your home’s electrical service. For example, 100 Amp service is very common in older homes while 200 Amp service is common in newer homes. Large luxury homes and small businesses tend to have 400 Amp Service, commonly using (2) 200 Amp split distribution panels. Briggs & Stratton is proud to be the only manufacturer to offer a dual 200 Amp/split 400 Amp transfer switch.
If you do not know what your home’s electrical service is there are two common places where the information can be located:
1. Inspect your electrical panel for a label that indicates its amperage rating. The electrical panel will be located where the rest of your home’s utilities are located such as the furnace, water heater or it could be a separate panel installed in a wall. The amperage rating label may be affixed by the manufacturer, or it may be attached by an inspector from when your panel was first installed or when it was inspected after the fact.
2. Look at the amperage rating on your main breaker which is located in your electrical panel. The main breaker is the largest breaker you have and should have its capacity written on it or adjacent to it.
3. Common sizes you should look for are:
a. 100 amp
b. 150 amp
c. 200 amp
d. 400 amp (residential 320 amp)- Typically feeds (2) 200 amp distribution panels
