Generac RG08045C Protector Series 80kW Generator (SCAQMD Compliant) Features:
Generac RG08045C Protector Series 80kW Generator – SCAQMD Compliant
The Generac RG08045C is a premium-grade 80kW single-phase generator from the Protector® Series, designed for high-demand residential estates and commercial sites where consistent, clean, and compliant backup power is essential. This model is SCAQMD certified, meeting strict air quality standards for use in Southern California while still offering the performance and intelligent monitoring features the Protector Series is known for.
At the heart of the RG08045C is a 4.5L turbocharged, liquid-cooled Generac engine, engineered to run at a quiet, efficient 1800 RPM. This turbocharged powerplant delivers smooth, high-capacity output without sacrificing longevity, while its dual-fuel capability (natural gas or propane) ensures installation flexibility. Switching between fuels is seamless and requires no mechanical adjustment thanks to the digital field-convertible fuel system.
Designed with both precision and protection in mind, this generator uses True Power™ Technology to deliver ±1% voltage regulation and <5% total harmonic distortion (THD). The result is utility-grade electricity that’s safe for sensitive electronics, home automation systems, and commercial-grade appliances.
Management and diagnostics are made easy with the onboard Evolution™ Controller, featuring a two-line, multilingual LCD display and programmable exercise cycles. Standard Mobile Link™ Wi-Fi connectivity allows users to monitor generator performance, receive real-time alerts, and track maintenance from anywhere using a smartphone or computer.
Despite its immense power, the RG08045C operates quietly—rated at just 68 dB(A) in exercise mode—thanks to its sound-attenuated aluminum enclosure and internal critical-grade muffler. The enclosure also features RhinoCoat™ powder coating for superior corrosion resistance and is wind-rated to 145 mph, making it suitable for extreme weather conditions.
The generator is fuel-efficient for its class, consuming approximately 10.8 gallons/hour of propane or 1,063 cubic feet/hour of natural gas at full load. It includes long-life components like a gear-driven oil pump, sealed bearings, and a closed-loop coolant recovery system, minimizing maintenance and maximizing uptime.
The RG08045C is fully UL 2200 listed, EPA certified, and compliant with both California Air Resources Board (CARB) and South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD) emissions standards.
