Briggs & Stratton 125kW Standby Generator – 120/240V Three-Phase LPV Backup Power
The Briggs & Stratton 125kW Standby Generator (Model 080017) delivers heavy-duty three-phase backup power for commercial buildings, industrial facilities, manufacturing operations, and large properties running on 120/240V Delta-configured 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 8.8L V-8 engine producing 230 gross horsepower at a steady 1,800 RPM, this generator is built for the most demanding standby applications. Liquid propane vapor (LPV) fuel operation eliminates on-site diesel storage, reduces emissions, and ensures a stable, readily available fuel supply independent of utility gas infrastructure.
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 925 CCA starting battery at peak charge — ensuring the system is always primed and ready when you need it most.

450A Breaker for Three-Phase Industrial Loads
The factory-installed 450A breaker provides robust overload protection and simplified connection to your 120/240V three-phase Delta distribution panel. With 376A 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 Delta configuration makes this unit the right choice for facilities with existing Delta-wired infrastructure — no rewiring or transformer required. 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 125kW 080017 generator power?
With 125kW / 376A of three-phase output at 120/240V Delta, 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 — making it ideal for warehouses, light industrial plants, farms, and commercial facilities with Delta-configured electrical systems.
What is the difference between the 080017 and 080016?
Both are 125kW LPV three-phase units on the same engine platform. The key difference is alternator configuration: the 080017 uses a 120/240V Delta configuration (450A breaker, 376A running), while the 080016 uses a 120/208V Wye configuration (500A breaker, 434A running). The correct choice depends entirely on your facility's existing electrical infrastructure — confirm with your licensed electrician before ordering.
What fuel type does the 080017 use and what are the supply requirements?
This generator runs on liquid propane vapor (LPV). The fuel supply line inlet is 1-1/2" NPT and requires a supply pressure of 7–11 in H₂O (17–28 mbar). Full-load fuel consumption is approximately 627 ft³/hr (17.8 m³/hr). A liquid propane vaporizer kit is available as an optional accessory for installations sourcing fuel from a bulk LP tank.
Does the Briggs & Stratton 080017 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.
