Briggs & Stratton 100kW Standby Generator – 120/240V Three-Phase Backup Power
The Briggs & Stratton 100kW Standby Generator (Model 080012) delivers dependable three-phase backup power for commercial buildings, industrial facilities, manufacturing operations, and large properties running on 120/240V three-phase electrical systems. When the grid fails, this unit restores three-phase power within seconds — keeping HVAC systems, refrigeration, industrial motors, lighting, servers, security systems, and production equipment running without interruption.
Powered by a liquid-cooled, turbocharged PSI 5.7L V-8 engine producing 163 gross horsepower at a steady 1,800 RPM, this generator delivers 100kW of reliable three-phase output on either liquid propane vapor (LPV) or natural gas (NG) — giving you complete fuel flexibility at installation without hardware changes.
DSE 7310 Mk II Smart Controller
The integrated DSE 7310 Mk II controller provides web-based monitoring, RS232/RS485 remote communications, configurable I/O, a 250-event log, load switching, load shedding, integral PLC editor, runtime scheduling, and full power monitoring (kW, kVA, kVAR) — giving facility managers and electrical contractors complete operational visibility and control from on-site or remotely.
Block Heater & Battery Charger Included
Both accessories come standard. The block heater maintains engine temperature for reliable cold-weather starts, while the Marinco 6-amp battery charger keeps the 630 CCA starting battery at peak charge — ensuring the system is always primed and ready when you need it most.

350A Breaker for Three-Phase Industrial Loads
The factory-installed 350A breaker provides robust overload protection and simplified connection to your 120/240V three-phase distribution panel. With 301A running amperage across three phases, this unit confidently handles industrial motors, compressors, HVAC systems, commercial refrigeration, manufacturing equipment, and other demanding three-phase electrical loads common in industrial and light manufacturing environments.
The 120/240V three-phase configuration makes this unit the right choice for facilities with existing 120/240V three-phase infrastructure — common in light industrial, agricultural, and manufacturing environments where Delta wiring is the established standard. The sound-attenuated steel enclosure protects internal components from rain, wind, and harsh outdoor environments, while integral vibration isolation ensures smooth, stable operation. Optional accessories include liquid propane vaporizer kits, remote annunciator kits (DSE 2548-01), remote display modules (DSE 2510-32), emergency stop switches (NEMA 4X), communication interface module (DSE 890-01), AVR communication cable, battery warmer, and battery cable lockout for full installation flexibility.

FAQ
What can the Briggs & Stratton 100kW 080012 generator power?
With 100kW / 301A of three-phase output at 120/240V, this generator handles large commercial and industrial electrical loads simultaneously. It powers HVAC systems, industrial motors, compressors, refrigeration, servers, lighting, security systems, and manufacturing equipment during an outage — making it ideal for warehouses, light industrial plants, farms, and commercial facilities with 120/240V three-phase electrical systems.
What is the difference between the 080012, 080011, and 080010?
All three are 100kW dual-fuel units on the same 5.7L V-8 engine platform. The 080012 is a three-phase 120/240V unit (350A breaker, 301A running) suited for industrial and manufacturing facilities; the 080011 is a three-phase 120/208V Wye unit (400A breaker, 347A running) suited for commercial office buildings and light commercial facilities; and the 080010 is a single-phase 120/240V unit (500A breaker, 416A running) suited for large residential and single-phase commercial applications. Always confirm your facility's electrical configuration with a licensed electrician before ordering.
What fuel types does the 080012 support?
This generator is dual-fuel capable, running on either liquid propane vapor (LPV) or natural gas (NG). The fuel supply line inlet is 1-1/4" NPT and requires a supply pressure of 7–11 in H₂O (17–28 mbar). Full-load NG consumption is approximately 1,470 ft³/hr; LPV full-load consumption is approximately 585 ft³/hr. A liquid propane vaporizer kit is available as an optional accessory.
Does the Briggs & Stratton 080012 include an automatic transfer switch?
An automatic transfer switch (ATS) is not included but is available separately. When paired with a compatible ATS, this generator activates automatically within seconds of detecting a utility power failure — with no manual intervention required.
What does the 3-year warranty cover?
The Briggs & Stratton 3-year limited warranty covers parts, labor, and travel for domestic installations. The engine carries the same 3-year coverage. Enclosure surface rust and corrosion are covered for 1 year; rust-through is covered for 2 years. See the operator's manual or BRIGGSandSTRATTON.com for complete warranty terms.
