What our Experts Think

• Powerful 48 kW 3-phase standby solution
  Delivers 50 kW (LP) / 48 kW (NG) of three-phase power—ideal for large homes, commercial buildings, light industrial sites, or critical loads requiring robust backup performance.
• Industrial-grade liquid-cooled engine
  Equipped with a 6.2 L liquid-cooled industrial engine that runs at 1800 RPM for fuel efficiency, quieter operation, and long-term reliability under heavy loads.
• App-connected remote monitoring
  Real-time alerts and remote status tracking via the Kohler Energy Management App add convenience and proactive oversight—helpful for facility managers and remote owners.
• Fast automatic response & clean power quality
  Advanced excitation and regulation deliver stable voltage and frequency with ultra-low distortion, protecting sensitive electronics and ensuring full-load pickup within ~10 seconds of outage detection.
• Quiet, durable aluminum enclosure
  Sound-attenuating housing keeps noise low (~61 dB @ 7 m) while the corrosion-resistant finish and rugged build support outdoor installation near structures.
• Flexible fuel & installation advantages
  Runs on natural gas or liquid propane with simple field conversion and meets NFPA setback requirements, allowing closer siting and installation flexibility.
• Advanced controller & diagnostics
  The RDC2 controller provides detailed local data, system diagnostics, and integration with transfer switches for streamlined operation and maintenance.

Maintenance Tips

• Run Weekly Exercise Cycle
  Keep the system active with automatic self-tests (≈20–30 minutes) to maintain engine lubrication and readiness.
• Follow Oil & Filter Maintenance Schedule
  Change engine oil, oil filter, and air filter at recommended intervals to protect the high-performance industrial engine.
• Inspect Battery & Charger Monthly
  Ensure strong battery voltage and clean terminals for fast, reliable automatic startup.
• Monitor Fuel System (NG/LP)
  Check fuel pressure, regulators, and line integrity for stable 3-phase power delivery under heavy load.
• Clean Air Intake & Enclosure
  Remove dust, debris, and obstructions to maintain cooling efficiency and prevent overheating.
• Test Under Load Periodically
  Simulate real facility demand to confirm voltage stability and proper phase balancing.
• Use App Connect Monitoring
  Track alerts, runtime history, and system health remotely for proactive maintenance and reduced downtime.
• Inspect Electrical Components
  Tighten terminals, breakers, and transfer switch connections to ensure safe and stable operation.
• Check Cooling System (if applicable)
  Verify coolant levels and airflow for consistent performance in high-demand standby operation.
