GENERAC RG06045GNAC Protector 60kW Automatic Standby Generator 120/208 3Ø - SCAQMD

No transfer switch is included with the RG06045GNAC. The generator ships as the genset only, so the ATS has to be ordered separately and sized for the service. Output is 120/208 volts three phase rated at 200 amps, so the switch and the feeders back to the service need to match that.

That is exactly what the RG06045GNAC is configured for. It puts out 120/208 volts, three phase, rated 60,000 watts with the same 60,000 watts on surge. If your building is single phase 120/240, this is the wrong unit, since the output configuration is fixed and cannot be reconnected in the field.

The unit measures 97 inches long, 38 inches wide, and 49 inches high, and it weighs 1,912 pounds, so the pad has to be engineered for that load. Generac rates the Protector Series for installation as close as 18 inches from a structure, which is what makes it workable on tight lot lines. Keep in mind you still need to meet local code clearances for openings and combustibles.

Both. The Protector 60kW is a dual fuel unit that runs on either liquid propane or natural gas, configured at install. The Generac 4.5L engine uses an ultra-low pressure fuel delivery system, so your gas supply needs to be sized for the run and the load before startup.

The RG06045GNAC is the SCAQMD configuration of the Protector 60kW, built for projects in the South Coast Air Quality Management District where the permitting authority regulates the emissions of stationary engines. If you are installing in Southern California under SCAQMD jurisdiction, this is the model number to specify rather than the standard Protector 60kW. It is also UL Listed, CSA Certified, and ETL Listed.

Motor starting is the reason the Protector Series is specified on commercial jobs. The liquid-cooled 4.5L engine is built to pick up large motor loads such as air conditioning and process equipment on initial startup without dropping out. It also holds total harmonic distortion under 5 percent, which matters if you have VFDs, elevator controls, or other sensitive electronics on the standby side.

Mobile Link connectivity is standard on Protector Series units, so status can be checked from a phone, tablet, or PC from anywhere. The Evolution controller is readable from outside without opening the enclosure and tracks maintenance intervals on an LCD display, and there is an hour meter on board. Quiet-Test self-test runs a five or twelve minute exercise at reduced RPM and can be scheduled weekly, every other week, or monthly.

For a unit that runs without anyone on site, the RG06045GNAC carries low oil shutdown, overload protection, and automatic voltage regulation, with an hour meter for tracking service intervals. Start type is automatic override, so it picks up the load on a utility outage without manual intervention.

The enclosure and frame are aluminum with Generac's RhinoCoat powder-coated finish, which is the corrosion-resistant spec for all-weather outdoor installs. Finish color is bisque, a neutral tone meant to sit quietly against a building or landscaping.

Country of origin on the RG06045GNAC is the United States. Generac states the Protector Series generators and the engines are engineered and built in the USA, with the engine purpose-built in Wisconsin. Whether that satisfies a specific Buy American or BABA clause depends on how that clause is written for your project.
