Generac XG08045C Protector Series 80kW 1-phase Generator (SCAQMD Compliant) Features:
Generac XG08045C 80kW 1-Phase Protector Series Generator
The Generac XG08045C 80kW 1-phase generator is a high-capacity liquid-cooled standby generator designed to deliver reliable backup power for large homes, commercial facilities, farms, and light industrial operations. Built as part of Generac’s Protector® Series, this generator continuously monitors incoming utility power and automatically starts within seconds of a power outage, helping ensure critical electrical systems remain operational.
With 80kW of standby power and a 120/240-volt single-phase output, the XG08045C provides the capacity needed to power large electrical loads such as multiple HVAC systems, refrigeration equipment, pumps, lighting systems, and other high-demand equipment. This makes it well suited for large residential estates, agricultural properties, retail locations, and businesses that require dependable standby power during extended outages.
At the heart of the generator is a Generac 4.5-liter liquid-cooled inline four-cylinder engine with turbocharging and aftercooling, engineered for durability, fuel efficiency, and extended run times. Operating at 1,800 RPM, the generator is designed for continuous standby use while minimizing wear on engine components. Generac’s True Power™ electrical technology produces less than 5% total harmonic distortion with ±1% digital voltage regulation, delivering utility-quality power that is safe for modern electronics and microprocessor-based appliances.
The generator is protected by a corrosion-resistant aluminum enclosure with electro-galvanized baseframe components and a stainless-steel exhaust system, providing long-term durability in outdoor installations. The unit also includes Mobile Link™ cellular connectivity with Wi-Fi backup, allowing owners to monitor generator status, receive maintenance alerts, and verify system readiness remotely from a smartphone, tablet, or computer.
