Kohler 20RCA 20kW Generator With Aluminum Enclosure – Scratch & Dent
The Kohler 20RCA 20kW Home Standby Generator provides reliable whole-home backup power with the premium performance and durability that homeowners expect from Kohler. Designed to keep your essential systems running smoothly through severe storms and extended outages, this 20kW unit delivers clean, stable power with less than 5% total harmonic distortion—ensuring sensitive electronics, appliances, and smart-home devices operate safely. Its compact aluminum enclosure, quiet operation, and advanced self-diagnostic capabilities make it a high-value choice for dependable residential protection.
Powered by the Kohler Command PRO 999cc OHV engine, the 20RCA is engineered for long-term performance with hydraulic valve lifters that eliminate routine valve adjustments and reduce maintenance needs. According to the spec sheet (page 3), the RDC2 digital controller offers full-system monitoring including voltage, frequency, temperature, oil pressure, battery voltage, and run hours. It also features isochronous frequency regulation, a built-in battery charger, remote monitoring via OnCue® Plus, and multiple exercise modes for efficient system checks.
Built for outdoor resilience, the 20RCA’s corrosion-resistant aluminum enclosure meets a 181 mph wind rating (page 1) and includes tool-free removable panels for easy service access. Sound-deadening UL 94 HF-1 foam and a critical silencer keep noise levels low—only 66 dB during exercise and 70 dB during normal operation (page 3). Installation is streamlined through direct through-wall fuel and electrical connections and a sturdy aluminum base that can mount on gravel or concrete. With a 5-year/2000-hour limited warranty, this generator ensures long-term backup reliability and peace of mind.
