QUIETER OPERATION
Exclusive Quiet Armor™ technology ensures 20% LESS NOISE than leading commercial-grade portable generators
THE TRUTH BEHIND DECIBEL RATINGS
Not all generator brands use the same testing standards to determine decibel ratings, meaning advertised ratings are hard to compare from brand to brand. NorthStar sets the record straight.
HEAD-TO-HEAD TESTING
An independent sound laboratory put the new NorthStar commercial-grade generators with Quiet Armor™ technology to the test against the leading generator brands using identical testing methods. Test results revealed the NorthStar commercial-grade generator is significantly quieter than the competition.
BUILT STRONGER
Made to last with HEAVY-DUTY steel frames, HIGHEST-QUALITY components and backed by the BEST warranties on the market
EASIER TO USE
Conveniently MONITOR ALL generator functions on one easy-to-read LCD display
MORE EFFICIENT
Electronic fuel injection provides CONSISTENT STARTING, uses LESS FUEL and provides MORE POWER
BETTER EQUIPPED
Full panel of GFCI outlets provide ESSENTIAL jobsite SAFETY and CONVENIENCE

Will it run in a 46x46 wooden box that has 4 louvers on the side of the box? The exhaust will be ran out of the box. Door will be open. Does it have a CO sensor ? What generator will run in this box that won't shut off being in this box?
1 answer-
NorthstarExpert12· 10 months ago
This generator should never be placed inside a box, it requires a minimum clearance of 7 feet. This generator is equipped with a CO sensor. At this time, we do not offer a generator that is recommended to be placed inside a box during operation.
