Codes and Standards Powering Ahead

Generac products are designed to the following standards: Generac Bi-Fuel™ generators start on diesel fuel and add natural gas as load is applied
until the unit runs primarily on natural gas. Generac’s Bi-Fuel generators are fully
UL2200, UL508, UL142, UL489 integrated solutions, not aftermarket conversions in the field. That means every
component is specifically designed, engineered and factory-validated to work together.
Generac Bi-Fuel generators have the added benefit of being EPA-compliant from the
factory.
CSA 22.2
RISK MITIGATION VIA FUEL REDUNDANCY
TM

BS5514 and DIN 6271 Because nobody can predict how long a power outage will last, many diesel-fueled
standby power systems are sized for extended running times. Nevertheless, onsite
diesel fuel supplies are limited, and infrastructure damage could make refueling
difficult. Generac Bi-Fuel generators make the most of an onsite diesel fuel supply by
SAE J1349 running primarily on natural gas. That means less onsite diesel fuel is required and
®

running times will be greatly extended compared to diesel-only solutions. And because
the natural gas infrastructure tends not to be affected by the same conditions that lead
NFPA 37, 70, 99, 110 to power outages, fuel reliability is improved.

® LOWER TOTAL COST OF OWNERSHIP

NEC700, 701, 702, 708 Because natural gas costs less than diesel, fuel costs are significantly reduced over
the long term. And since less onsite diesel fuel is required for long running times,
installation, operational and maintenance costs are reduced.
ISO 3046, 7637, 8528, 9001
SCALABILITY AS PART OF A MODULAR POWER SYSTEM
Generac Bi-Fuel generators can be configured as part of a Modular Power System
NEMA ICS10, MG1, 250, ICS6, AB1 (MPS)—connected via integrated paralleling with other Generac generators. This
makes the system scalable, meaning there is no need to install more power than you
SPEC SHEET

ANSI C62.41 need.

IBC 2009, CBC 2010, IBC 2012, CODE COMPLIANCE

Generac Bi-Fuel generators meet the onsite fuel requirements for emergency systems
ASCE 7-05, ASCE 7-10,
as referenced in NEC700 and NFPA 110. Less onsite diesel fuel means easier
ICC-ES AC-156 (2012) permitting. And indoor fuel installations with capacity limits per NFPA or local codes
