GENERAC RG08045ANAX Protector 80kW Automatic Standby Generator 120/240 1Ø

Single phase, 120/240 volt. The RG08045ANAX Protector is rated 80,000 watts at 120/240 1-phase, with a 200 amp current rating. If your building is fed three phase, this is the wrong unit and you need a three phase Protector model instead.

The Protector Series is approved for an 18 inch offset, meaning the unit can sit just 18 inches from the structure. That matters on tight lot lines and zero-lot-line multi-family sites where a larger setback would push the generator out into parking or landscaping. Plan the pad for a cabinet measuring 97 x 38 x 49 inches.

Both. The RG08045ANAX is a dual-fuel-capable liquid-cooled unit set up for liquid propane or natural gas, so the same generator works whether you have a gas main at the property or a tank on site. The engine uses a dual-valve ultra-low pressure fuel delivery system. Your gas contractor still needs to size the supply line and confirm meter capacity for the load.

The RG08045ANAX is the generator only. Automatic operation requires a separately ordered automatic transfer switch sized to the service, and the unit is rated 200 A at 120/240. Budget the switch, the pad, the gas piping and the feeder conductors as separate line items on the job.

That is what this class of unit is built for. Generac calls out excellent motor starting on initial startup for homes and businesses with heavy motor load such as air conditioning and process equipment. Rated and surge output are both listed at 80,000 watts, so size the transfer scheme to the actual connected motor load rather than assuming headroom above the 80kW rating.

Yes. True Power technology holds total harmonic distortion under 5%, which is utility-grade quality and suitable for sensitive electronics, controls and appliances. That is the spec to quote when a facility has server rooms, medical equipment or VFDs on the emergency side.

UL Listed, CSA Certified and ETL Listed. For institutional and government specs that call for a listed standby unit, those three are stated on the Protector Series. The generator and engine are built in the United States, which also satisfies domestic-origin preferences on many public projects.

Mobile Link connectivity is standard on Protector Series models, so status can be checked from a phone, tablet or PC anywhere. On site, the Evolution controller with LCD display is readable without opening the enclosure. Exercise runs use Quiet-Test, a five or twelve minute self test at reduced RPM, programmable weekly, bi-weekly or monthly, which keeps noise complaints down in multi-family and hospitality settings.

Yes, it is an automatic standby unit with automatic override start. Paired with an automatic transfer switch, the engine cranks on loss of utility and the switch transfers load without anyone on site, then returns to utility and shuts down when power is restored.

The enclosure is all-aluminum with a RhinoCoat powder-coated finish, so it is corrosion resistant rather than painted steel. Frame material is aluminum and the finish color is bisque, which is the neutral tone Generac uses across the Protector line so multiple units on a campus match.

The RG08045ANAX is flagged as a restricted item, which is normal for a 2,022 pound engine-driven unit that ships freight on a pallet. Expect a dedicated LTL or flatbed delivery with a liftgate or on-site equipment requirement rather than parcel service, and arrange receiving accordingly.
