Generac GP17000E Portable Generator, 17,000W Running, 120/240V, Electric Start

The Generac GP17000E is a heavy-duty portable generator rated at 17,000 running watts and 19,300 starting watts at 120/240V, suited to contractors, farms, commercial users and homeowners riding out outages. Its fuel-efficient OHV engine displaces 817cc and uses electronic fuel injection, and the 14.2-gallon tank gives a runtime of up to 11 hours at 50% load.

Advanced electronics keep total harmonic distortion below 5% for clean, stable power to sensitive electronics and appliances. Electric start runs from the included battery, COsense carbon monoxide protection and low-oil pressure shutdown add safety, and an hour meter tracks maintenance. The 14.2-gallon tank has an integrated fuel gauge, and the generator is HomeLink transfer switch compatible.

Outlets include two 120V 20A GFCI duplex receptacles (5-20R), a 120V 30A twist-lock (L5-30R), a 120/240V 30A twist-lock (L14-30R) and a 120/240V 50A receptacle (14-50R). A hardened steel frame with a heavy-duty steel tube cradle, a handle that folds and locks, and never-flat 12-inch wheels help move the 422 lb unit around the jobsite, farm or home.
