HOME GENERATORS

Kohler automatic residential generator systems provide dependable protection during unexpected power outages. Kohler has produced home standby generators, residential emergency generators, and back up power devices since the 1920s. Kohler generators provide clean power for sensitive home electronics; fast power to get you up and running; and reliable backup power to ensure your life goes on even when the utility power doesn't.

A standby home generator keeps your power on during an outage. When utility power is interrupted, the ATS signals the generator to start and then quickly transfers the electrical loads from the failed utility to the generator. When utility power is restored, the ATS transfers the electrical loads back to the utility and shuts down the generator. It's installed outside your house (like an AC unit) and comes on automatically — whether you're home or away. All within seconds of a power outage.

Plus home generators run on propane or natural gas, so there's no refueling.

RATINGS: Standby ratings apply to installations served by a reliable utility source. All single-phase units are rated at 1.0 power factor. The standby rating is applicable to variable loads with an average load factor of 80% for the duration of the power outage. No overload capacity is specified at this rating. Ratings are in accordance with ISO-3046/1, BS5514, AS2789 and DIN 6271. GENERAL GUIDELINES FOR DERATION: Altitude: Derate 4% per 305 m (1000 ft) elevation above 153 m (500 ft). Temperature: Derate 2% per 5.5˚C (10˚F) temperature increase above 16˚C (60˚F).
*Also available in three phase.
**Measured at 23 feet with no load.

RTX Automatic Transfer Switches

Our new RXT enclosures are constructed from corrosion-resistant aluminum and rated for outdoor use. The new switches also offer the option of an exterior display for remote system status.

RDT Automatic Transfer Switches

Our most advanced automatic transfer switches just got better. Now featuring corrosion-resistant enclosures on all outdoor-rated models, the RDT transfer switches are the best money can buy.

Load Control Module

If you chose a smaller generator to power your home, our Load Control Module can help manage higher electrical loads. During a power outage, the entire home will be connected to generator power, but some circuits may be cycled on and off to prevent overloading.
