Generac RG08045JNAC – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Can the Generac RG08045JNAC 80kW generator be installed in South Coast AQMD territory?
Yes. The RG08045JNAC is the SCAQMD version of the Protector 80kW standby generator, built to meet South Coast Air Quality Management District requirements for the Southern California region. If your jobsite falls under SCAQMD permitting, this is the model to spec rather than a standard 80kW Protector.
2) What voltage and phase does the Generac Protector RG08045JNAC put out?
It is a 120/240 volt three phase unit rated 200 amps. That matters when you size the transfer switch and feeders: a 120/240 three phase (high leg delta) service is not interchangeable with 120/208 three phase or single phase, so confirm the building service matches before you commit.
3) How close to a building can the Generac 80kW Protector be set?
Generac rates the Protector Series liquid-cooled units for an 18 inch offset from a structure, which is what makes them workable on tight lot lines and narrow side yards. Local code and the AHJ still govern clearance to windows, doors and vents.
4) What pad size and weight do I need to plan for with the RG08045JNAC?
The unit measures 97 inches long, 38 inches wide and 49 inches high, and weighs 2,022 lbs. Size the concrete pad and rigging accordingly, and add the 18 inch structure offset when you lay out the set location.
5) Does the Generac Protector 80kW run on natural gas or propane?
Both. The RG08045JNAC is a dual fuel gaseous unit that runs on liquid propane or natural gas, using a dual-valve ultra-low pressure fuel delivery system. Fuel selection affects line sizing and regulator work, so settle which one you are piping before the gas rough-in.
6) Is a transfer switch included with the Generac RG08045JNAC standby generator?
No. The 80kW Protector is the generator only. You order the automatic transfer switch separately, matched to the 120/240 three phase output and the 200 amp rating, along with the pad, fuel piping and feeder conductors needed to finish the install.
7) Will the Generac 80kW Protector handle large air conditioning and motor loads on startup?
That is what it is built for. Generac calls out motor starting without issue at initial startup for buildings carrying heavy motor load such as air conditioning and process equipment. Output is True Power technology with less than 5% total harmonic distortion, so sensitive electronics and controls on the same bus run clean.
8) Is the Generac RG08045JNAC UL listed?
The Protector 80kW is UL Listed, ETL Listed and CSA Certified. For institutional and government specs that require a listed standby unit, those three appear on the manufacturer's certification list for the model.
9) Can I monitor a Generac Protector standby generator remotely across multiple properties?
Yes. Mobile Link connectivity is standard on every Protector Series model, so status can be checked from a phone, tablet or PC from anywhere. On site, the Evolution controller with LCD display is readable without opening the enclosure and tracks maintenance intervals, which helps when one tech is covering a portfolio of buildings.
10) Will the Generac 80kW enclosure hold up outdoors in a coastal or salt air environment?
The enclosure is all-aluminum with Generac's RhinoCoat powder-coated finish, so the frame material itself is corrosion resistant rather than relying on paint over steel. Finish color is bisque, which is the neutral tone used across the Protector line.
11) How does the weekly exercise cycle work on the Generac Protector, and will it bother neighbors?
Quiet-Test self-test mode runs the engine at a lower, quieter RPM for either a five or twelve minute test and can be set to weekly, bi-weekly or monthly. It also burns less fuel than a full-speed exercise, which is a real line item on a unit this size in a residential-adjacent setting.
12) Where is the Generac RG08045JNAC generator made?
Protector Series generators and their engines are engineered and built in the USA, with the engine purpose-built in Wisconsin. Country of origin on the unit is the United States, which matters if the project carries domestic sourcing requirements.
