Generac RG08045KNAX – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Generac RG08045KNAX work on a 277/480V three-phase service?
That is exactly what the RG08045KNAX is built for. It is a 277/480 volt three phase unit rated 80kW (80,000 watts) with a 200 amp current rating. It will not serve a 120/240 single phase building, so if your panel is single phase you need a different Protector model.
2) How much space do I need to plan for the 80kW Protector generator pad?
Plan the pad around a footprint of 97 inches long by 38 inches wide, with the enclosure standing 49 inches tall. Generac allows this Protector unit to sit as close as 18 inches from a structure, which is what makes it workable on tight lot lines and narrow side yards.
3) How heavy is the Generac RG08045KNAX and what does that mean for setting it?
The unit weighs 2,022 pounds assembled. At that weight you are setting it with a crane or a forklift onto an engineered concrete pad, not sliding it into place, and the pad and rigging need to be planned before delivery day.
4) Is the enclosure on this Protector generator going to hold up outdoors in a coastal or salted environment?
The enclosure is all aluminum with Generac's RhinoCoat powder-coated finish, so it resists corrosion rather than rusting through like steel. The frame material is aluminum and the finish color is bisque, which is the neutral tone Generac uses so the unit blends into landscaping.
5) Can this generator run sensitive electronics and IT equipment without a conditioner?
Generac rates the Protector Series with True Power technology at less than 5% total harmonic distortion, which is utility-grade quality for electronics, controls, and variable frequency loads. Generac also calls out strong motor starting on this series for buildings with heavy air conditioning or process motor loads.
6) Can I monitor and exercise this generator remotely at an unmanned site?
Mobile Link connectivity is standard on the Protector Series, so status can be checked from a phone, tablet, or PC. The Evolution controller with LCD display sits on the outside of the enclosure so you can read it without opening the unit, and Quiet-Test self-test runs at reduced RPM for a five or twelve minute exercise cycle you can schedule weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly.
7) Is the Generac RG08045KNAX made in the USA for buy-American procurement?
Country of origin 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.
8) Are there shipping restrictions on this Generac standby generator?
Yes, the RG08045KNAX carries shipping restrictions. It is a 2,022 pound freight item rather than a parcel shipment, so it moves on a truck and the site needs to be able to receive and offload it.
