Kohler 24RCLA 24kW 1-Phase Generator
The Kohler 24RCLA is a powerful and reliable 24kW single-phase standby generator designed to provide seamless backup power for homes and small businesses. With its liquid-cooled engine, smart digital controller, and ultra-quiet operation, this model combines performance, efficiency, and durability—backed by Kohler’s well-known commitment to quality.
At the heart of the 24RCLA is a 2.2-liter inline 4-cylinder liquid-cooled engine, purpose-built for continuous power delivery. It operates at a low 1800 RPM for enhanced efficiency and longevity, while providing field-convertible flexibility between natural gas and propane without compromising emissions certification. The engine is paired with a brushless, wound-field alternator and solid-state voltage regulator, delivering a clean power output with ±1% voltage regulation and <5% total harmonic distortion (THD)—ideal for sensitive electronics and home automation systems.
Control and system diagnostics are handled by the intuitive RDC2 Controller, which manages generator and transfer switch functions with a backlit, two-line LCD screen and built-in battery charger. The controller provides status updates, maintenance reminders, and voltage/frequency readouts, and supports optional remote monitoring through OnCue® Plus.
One of the standout features of the 24RCLA is its quiet operation. Kohler's innovative cooling system and electronically controlled fans reduce noise levels to 53 dB(A) during weekly exercise and 61 dB(A) during full operation, making it one of the most neighbor-friendly generators in its class. The sound-attenuated aluminum enclosure includes an internal critical silencer and is rated to withstand 181 mph wind loads, ensuring rugged protection in any weather.
Fuel efficiency is impressive, with natural gas consumption rated at 301 cfh at full load and propane use at 113 cfh. The unit is approved for installation just 18 inches from a building, meets NFPA 37 clearance requirements, and includes certifications from EPA, cUL, and CSA—plus acceptance by the Massachusetts Board of Registration of Plumbers and Gas Fitters.
