Posted on October 1, 2020October 5, 2020 by Josie — Leave a comment

KPS Capital Partnership LP finished their purchase of Briggs & Stratton on September 22, 2020. This brings Briggs & Stratton out of Chapter 11 with a stronger, healthier balance sheet allowing the company to continue to build upon their 100+ year history. All warranties from before Chapter 11 are in full force and will be honored by the new owners.

As you know, WINCO has been building generators with the Vanguard engine on some of our most popular air-cooled generators. We value our partnership and appreciate the quality and durability of their products. We will continue manufacturing generators you depend on using these industrial engines. We love the fact that all of our Vanguard V-Twin engines are produced right here in the US!

Check out our popular air-cooled generators that feature the Vanguard engine!

Why should I use ASCO manual transfer switches?

ASCO, manufactured by Schneider Electric, has been using technologies refined by more than 100 years of experience. Founded in 1888, ASCO has prided itself on providing cutting edge technology and never compromising on quality.

The ASCO lines of switches are not cheap knife switches. They use the same type of heavy duty contacts that critical facilities have been relying on for decades. If your application is a critical facility, has heavy motor loads or if you just want the best the ASCO switches are for you.

The ASCO manual transfer switches are suitable for traditional manual switch applications or the can serve to connect the back-up to the back-up generator to comply with new NFPA 70 700 (f) regulations. Check out our post on NFPA 70 700.3 (f) for more information.

FEATURES

ASCO MTS have similar features and options as their automatic transfer switches. Such as, enclosure options and non-SE or SE rated switches.

The 3 position switch on the MTS has a center off position and is pad-lockable. The center off position gives the operator time to allow rotating motors to come to a stop before connecting the other power source causing heavy shocks to the system.

A MTS can have cam-lock connections already integrated into the panel. This option provides a complete UL-listed solution in a single unit and will save on installation costs by reducing the required labor and wiring materials. These models come standard with a NEMA 3R enclosure, with the option to upgrade to a stainless steel housing and uses 16 series Cam-Lok connectors.

At WINCO, we are constantly engineering and updating out product line! Our latest update is on the WL18000VE. We have redesigned this Big Dog to produce 10% more power. The good news is that even though we increased the power by 10% our engineering and purchasing team have made it possible to sell the new model at the SAME price!

Before we transition to the new WL18000VE/B, we are going to sell out of the previous version first. With the increase in shipments to areas affected by storms we are going to run out of the current model a lot earlier than we anticipated. We anticipate we will run out before the end of September and apologize for the short notice.

Let’s compare the difference between the old and new models:
