MILWAUKEE, June 2, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Long a leader
in smart power management systems for standby generators, Briggs
& Stratton Corporation has upgraded its power management
offerings with the introduction of the new Amplify Power Management
System.
"Power management basically takes all of the power created by
the generator and assigns priorities to various appliances based on
the homeowner's specific needs," explained Briggs & Stratton's
Brian Northway, field service
manager. "By managing the distribution of the power load, we're
able to right-size the generator. This means a homeowner may not
need as big of a generator as they think if they also install
Amplify Power Management."
Amplify allows standby generator owners to prioritize, in
real-time, the appliances and systems that they want powered by the
generator. The user can control the priorities via a smartphone app
to address changing demands for their homes and families. For
instance, air-conditioning may be prioritized during the daytime
hours but deprioritized when the sun goes down.
Briggs & Stratton has offered smart power management systems
for years but Amplify is the first system that provides total
control in real-time to the homeowner.
Power Management Benefits
Using smart power management tools like Amplify allows a
homeowner to optimize the power output of their standby generator
often resulting in the ability to use a smaller generator than
their home might otherwise need. In addition, managing the power
through a smart tool like Briggs & Stratton's Amplify
eliminates the risk of overloading a generator.
Amplify, which can be installed on Briggs & Stratton standby
generators manufactured after October
2019, features a user-friendly app which allows the user to
control up to 32 modules prioritizing the high-wattage appliances
in a home.
"The key to a power management system like Amplify is that it
gives the homeowner total control when the uncontrollable happens,"
said Northway.
Amplify will be available starting June
1, 2020 through Briggs & Stratton authorized standby
generator dealers.
