Generac XG08045C Protector Series 80kW 3-phase Generator (SCAQMD Compliant) Features:
Generac XG08045C 80kW 3-Phase Protector Series Generator
The Generac XG08045C 80kW 3-phase generator is a powerful liquid-cooled standby generator designed to provide dependable backup power for commercial facilities, industrial operations, agricultural properties, and large infrastructure systems. As part of Generac’s Protector® Series, the generator continuously monitors utility power and automatically starts when an outage occurs, restoring electricity within seconds to keep critical equipment operating.
With 80kW of standby power and configurable three-phase voltage output, the XG08045C is engineered to support demanding commercial loads including HVAC systems, refrigeration equipment, pumps, elevators, manufacturing equipment, and other motor-driven machinery. Three-phase power provides balanced electrical distribution, making it the preferred configuration for commercial buildings and industrial environments.
At the core of the generator is a Generac 4.5-liter liquid-cooled inline four-cylinder engine with turbocharging and aftercooling, engineered for long service life and efficient operation during extended outages. Operating at 1,800 RPM, the system is designed for continuous standby operation while reducing engine wear. Generac’s True Power™ electrical technology produces less than 5% total harmonic distortion and ±1% digital voltage regulation, delivering stable, utility-quality power that safely supports sensitive electronics and modern microprocessor-based equipment.
The generator is equipped with Generac’s Power Zone® 410 controller, which provides advanced system monitoring, diagnostics, and control functions. Every XG08045C 3-phase generator ships configured for 208/120-volt three-phase output, but installers can easily change the voltage to 240/120V or 480/277V using Generac’s Voltage Configuration Cartridge (VCC). This flexibility allows the generator to adapt to a wide range of commercial electrical systems while simplifying installation.
For long-term outdoor durability, the unit is protected by a corrosion-resistant aluminum enclosure with electro-galvanized baseframe components and a stainless-steel exhaust system. The generator also includes Mobile Link™ connectivity with cellular service and Wi-Fi backup, allowing users to remotely monitor generator performance, receive maintenance alerts, and confirm system readiness from a smartphone, tablet, or computer.
