Generac RD02025 20kW Protector Series Diesel Generator
The Generac RD02025 is a rugged and reliable 20kW diesel standby generator, part of the Protector™ Series, designed to deliver consistent power for residential estates and light commercial facilities. Built with durability and ease of code compliance in mind, this generator offers fuel-efficient performance, quiet operation, and advanced digital controls, making it an ideal solution for demanding backup power needs.
This model is powered by an inline 4-cylinder, liquid-cooled diesel engine running at a low 1800 RPM, engineered specifically for long-life operation in generator environments. It provides 83 amps at 120/240V single-phase or 69 amps at 120/208V three-phase, making it versatile for a range of residential and commercial installations.
The Evolution™ Controller features a two-line multilingual LCD display with color-coded, backlit buttons for intuitive operation. Real-time system status, alerts, and maintenance reminders are all accessible through the display. When paired with Mobile Link™ (sold separately), users can monitor their generator remotely from any smart device.
Noise is minimized with Quiet-Test™ technology, which enables the generator to perform weekly self-tests at a lower RPM, reducing both sound and fuel use. The RD02025 runs at just 65 dB(A) during exercise and 70 dB(A) under full load, making it suitable for use near residences or in noise-sensitive areas.
This model also excels in fuel economy, consuming just 1.05 gallons of diesel per hour at half load and 1.98 gallons per hour at full load. The generator is housed in a steel enclosure finished in gray, and includes a UL 142-listed, double-walled base fuel tank for environmental protection and simplified installation.
Installation is service-friendly, with removable access doors, an external viewing window, and easy access to the breaker and fuel fill. The generator is UL 2200 listed, EPA emissions certified, and comes backed by a 5-year limited warranty for peace of mind.

Came sooner than I expected. AP told me it would take about 3 - 4 weeks to manufacture. It arrived in 2 weeks which was great. Easy to do business with AP Electric. They were very knowledgeable on the product. We needed this generator for a project we were constructing and it installed easily and worked perfectly right of the box. Great diesel generator.
