Generac 10000014761 Auxiliary Shutdown Kit For Air-Cooled & Liquid-Cooled Standby Generators

Generac 10000014761 Auxiliary Shutdown Kit For Air-Cooled & Liquid-Cooled Standby Generators

The Generac Part 10000014761 is not a generator unit; it is an essential safety and code-compliance accessory known as the Auxiliary Shutdown Kit (or Engine Shutdown Add-On Kit). This kit is designed to ensure that Generac standby generators meet specific modern electrical safety codes by providing an external, immediate method to stop the engine. 10000014761 is an essential, universal safety accessory that upgrades both new and existing Generac standby generators to meet current electrical code requirements for emergency engine shutdown.

Features

Code Compliance:

• Designed specifically to meet the requirements of the 2017 National Electrical Code (NEC) Article 445.18(B), which mandates an external, independent engine shutdown means.

Safety Shutdown:

• Provides an immediate, external method to stop the engine of the standby generator in an emergency situation (e.g., fire, mechanical failure, or gas leak) without needing to open the generator enclosure.

Universal Compatibility:

• Works with a wide range of both Generac Air-Cooled Generators (9 kW - 22 kW Guardian, EcoGen, Synergy) and Liquid-Cooled Generators (Protector Gas and Diesel series up to 60 kW).

Component Configuration:

• Typically includes two rocker switches (or emergency buttons), necessary wiring harnesses, and connectors.

Scalable Requirement:

• Supports the installation of either one or two switches, depending on the generator size, to comply with NEC requirements (e.g., units 15 kW and up often require two switches).

Manual Reset:

• After an auxiliary shutdown, the generator typically requires a manual reset via the controller, ensuring the unit is checked before being placed back into automatic service.
