Product Features
Kohler 18RESL 18kW Generator w/200A Transfer Switch:
- More Powerful Performance
- Kohler's exclusive PowerBoost(TM) technology provides greater motor starting
capability for large loads such as central air conditioners while still running
other home appliances and electronics.
- Safer Power for Sensitive Electronics
- Many power sources can damage and degrade sensitive home electronics due to
unstable power quality or high levels of total harmonic distortion (THD). KOHLER
residential generators protect all of your valuable appliances and sophisticated
electronics with cleaner, safe and stable power that meets strict utility
requirements and IEEE standards for THD.
- Quieter Operation
- Sound enclosure maintains neighborhood solitude whether you are in self-test
or full operation mode. 68 dB(A) at 7 m, similar to a typical central air
conditioner.
- Faster Response
- While many competitive products can leave you in the dark for 25 seconds or
more during an outage, KOHLER generators restore power in as little as 10
seconds.
- Superior five-year limited warranty included
- Easier Service and Installation
- Unlike most competitive products our engines include hydraulic valve lifters
for reliable performance without routine valve adjustment or lengthy break-in
requirements.
- Kohler's new easy-connection terminal block provides faster, flexible
installations.
- Polymer base eliminates the need for a concrete mounting pad, reducing
installation time and cost and the new 17RES is designed with a hinged roof for
easy service access.
- More sophisticated diagnostic self-test
- While some competitive products perform a short, reduced-speed exercise each
week, KOHLER residential generators perform a 20-minute full-speed exercise
cycle and self-diagnostic test each week to ensure your generator is ready to
run when you need it.
- Sophisticated fault codes on Kohler's exclusive Advanced Digital Control let
you know where service may be needed.
- Emissions certifications
- Meets Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) nonstationary unit requirements
and California Air Resources Board (CARB)-certified for both LP vapor and
natural gas (field-convertible).
Alternator features:
- NEMA MG1 ,IEEE, and ANSI standards compliance for temperature rise and motor
starting.
- Self-ventilated and dripproof construction.
- Vacuum-impregnated windings with fungus-resistant epoxy varnish for
dependability and long life.
- Superior voltage waveform from a two-thirds pitch stator and skewed rotor.
- Digital voltage regulator with ±1.5% no-load to full-load regulation
- Rotating-field alternator with static exciter for excellent load response
- Skewed generator construction produces a smooth AC waveform
Engine features:
- Natural gas or LP fueled.
- Electronic engine controls for optimized fuel and spark performance.
- Four stroke, two cylinder engine.
- An electronic, isochronous governor for precise frequency regulation.
- High silicone content pistons for improved durability.
