I'm not sure that their auto transfer switch units are available below 7kw,
but do a search for Cutler Hammer generators. They have partnered with
Briggs and Stratton, C-H handles the auto switching and the load center and
Briggs powers the generator, either natural gas or propane. Take a look at
this site, it might recommend a unit. Good Luck.

Howdy,

Yes, this is OT, but you folks seem to know everything...g

I need to get an automatic backup generator, but my needs
are unusual:

The fully automatic units I can locate are all in the range
of 7000KW.

I need something on the order of 5-10KW. So, compared to the
"standard" residential backup unit, the one I am looking for
is really tiny. But, anything over that (approximate)
capacity would just be money wasted.

Might any of you suggest sources for such a small (but fully
automatic) generator?

Very sincere thanks,
