Power outages are unpredictable.
Your backup power shouldn't be.
The BBT 8.5kVA Petrol Generator has been designed to deliver dependable power automatically, giving Australian homeowners, off-grid users and businesses confidence when the grid goes down.
Unlike most portable generators, this model includes an Automatic Transfer Switch (ATS), allowing the generator to automatically detect a power failure, start itself and restore power to your selected circuits with minimal interruption when installed by a licensed electrician.
Whether you're protecting your family during a blackout, keeping an off-grid solar system operating or powering essential equipment, the BBT ATS Generator is ready when you need it most.
Why Choose the BBT ATS Generator?
✔ ATS (Automatic Transfer Switch) Included
✔ Remote Control Start
✔ AVR Stabilised Power
✔ 8.5kVA Peak Output
✔ Up to 12 Hours Runtime
✔ Built for Homes, Off-Grid Systems & Businesses
ATS Included – Automatic Backup Power
This isn't simply a generator.
It's an automatic backup power solution.
The included Automatic Transfer Switch (ATS) constantly monitors your mains power supply.
When a blackout occurs, the system automatically starts the generator and transfers power to your nominated circuits. Once mains power returns, it automatically switches back and shuts the generator down.
No rushing outside.
No extension leads.
No manual starting.
Simply dependable backup power when you need it most. (Installation must be completed by a licensed electrician.)
Perfect for Off-Grid Solar Systems
One of the biggest advantages of this generator is its compatibility with many off-grid solar and battery storage systems that support automatic generator start.
When battery levels become low after extended periods of poor weather, the ATS can work with compatible systems to automatically start the generator, recharge the batteries and maintain power until solar production returns. Compatibility depends on the inverter/charger and system configuration.
Ideal for:
- Off-grid homes
- Rural properties
- Tiny homes
- Battery backup systems
- Remote sheds
- Weekend cabins

Frequently Asked Questions
What is an ATS and why is it important?
An ATS (Automatic Transfer Switch) monitors your mains power supply. During a power outage, it can automatically start the generator and transfer power to your selected circuits. Once mains power returns, it safely switches back and shuts the generator down. This provides a seamless backup power solution when installed correctly.
Can this generator be used with an off-grid solar system?
Yes. Many off-grid solar inverter/charger systems support automatic generator start. When battery levels become low, a compatible system can automatically start the generator to recharge the batteries and continue supplying power. Always check compatibility with your inverter manufacturer before installation.
What is AVR?
Automatic Voltage Regulation (AVR) continuously stabilises the generator's output voltage, providing cleaner and more consistent power for household appliances, workshop equipment and many electronic devices.
Is this suitable for home backup power?
Absolutely. With 8.5kVA peak output and an included ATS, this generator is an excellent solution for homes wanting automatic backup power during outages. A licensed electrician should install the ATS and integrate it with your switchboard in accordance with Australian electrical standards.
