GENERAC RG06045ANAC Protector 60kW Automatic Standby Generator 120/240 1Ø - SCAQMD

No. The RG06045ANAC ships as the generator only, so a transfer switch has to be ordered separately. Size it for the service you are backing up, and note the unit is rated at 200 A, 120/240V single phase. Budget for that line item before you quote the job, because the set won't run in automatic without one.

The Protector 60kW is approved for an 18 inch offset, meaning it can sit as close as 18 inches to the structure, which is what makes it workable on tight lot lines. The cabinet itself measures 97 in long, 38 in wide, and 49 in high, so plan the pad to that footprint plus your local setback and service access allowances.

Either one. The RG06045ANAC is set up for liquid propane or natural gas, so you pick the fuel at install based on what is available at the site. The engine is a Generac 4.5L, liquid cooled, using an ultra low pressure dual valve fuel delivery system. Confirm your gas supply pressure and pipe sizing will carry a 60kW load at full output.

Single phase, 120/240V. The RG06045ANAC is the 1 phase configuration, rated 60,000 watts with a 200 A current rating. If your building is on a 120/208 or 277/480 three phase service, this is the wrong unit and you need the three phase version of the Protector line.

Yes on both counts. True Power technology holds total harmonic distortion under 5%, which is what lets it run electronics, VFDs and control gear cleanly, and automatic voltage regulation is built in. Generac also rates the unit for motor starting on initial startup, which is the reason it gets specified where there is a lot of compressor or process load on the panel.

1912 lbs assembled. That is a crane or a heavy forklift with extended forks, not a tailgate drop and a pallet jack. Confirm your pad and any access route can carry that load, and plan rigging into the install day rather than the delivery day.

The RG06045ANAC is the South Coast Air Quality Management District configuration of the Protector 60kW, which is the version specified for installs inside that district's jurisdiction in the greater Los Angeles basin. Outside SCAQMD territory a standard Protector 60kW covers the same electrical duty. Permitting still goes through your local AQMD and building department.

It runs an exercise cycle, and Quiet-Test drops the engine to a lower RPM for a five or twelve minute self test rather than running it up to full speed. You can set that to weekly, bi-weekly or monthly, which matters on multi-family and tight commercial lots where a full speed exercise generates complaints.

Low oil shutdown and overload protection are both built in, with an hour meter for tracking service intervals. The Evolution controller sits where you can read the LCD without opening the enclosure, and Mobile Link is standard on Protector Series so a facilities team can check status remotely. Start type is automatic override.

It is UL Listed, CSA Certified and ETL Listed. That covers the usual submittal boxes on a commercial or institutional standby package. The unit is built in the United States, with the Generac engine produced in Wisconsin.

Once you are past roughly the 22kW class, air cooled runs out of headroom and Generac moves to liquid cooled engines. The Protector 60kW uses a liquid cooled Generac 4.5L, which is what allows sustained full load running for long outages instead of intermittent duty. If you are backing a whole commercial panel, a multi-family building, or heavy motor load, that is the reason to go liquid cooled rather than stacking a larger air cooled residential unit.

The enclosure is all aluminum with a RhinoCoat powder coated finish, so there is no steel body to rust out in salt air or constant wet. Color is bisque, a neutral tone meant to sit quietly in landscaping. Frame material is aluminum as well.
