Kohler 26RCAL-200SELS 26kW Generator With Aluminum Enclosure & 200A SE Transfer Switch (Scratch & Dent)
The Kohler 26RCAL-200SELS 26kW Home Standby Generator delivers powerful, dependable whole-home backup performance with premium engineering and industry-leading reliability. Designed for larger homes and demanding electrical loads, this 26kW unit provides clean, stable power with less than 5% harmonic distortion—protecting your home's sensitive electronics, appliances, and HVAC systems during even the longest outages. Despite its tremendous capacity, the unit operates with impressively low noise and includes Kohler’s advanced Eco-Exercise mode for fuel-efficient, quieter self-testing.
At the heart of this generator is the Kohler Command PRO 999cc engine, engineered with hydraulic valve lifters to eliminate routine valve adjustments and ensure long-term durability. The RDC2 digital controller provides fast response to load changes, precise voltage control, engine monitoring, and seamless coordination with the included 200A RXT automatic transfer switch. According to the Kohler spec sheet (page 3), it maintains isochronous frequency regulation for smooth power delivery under varying loads. Whether operating on natural gas or propane, this multi-fuel unit is ready for any installation environment.
Built for real-world performance, the 26RCAL features a corrosion-resistant aluminum enclosure that withstands harsh weather and meets a 181 mph wind rating (page 1). The enclosure panels can be removed without tools, providing exceptional accessibility for maintenance. With Ultra-Quiet 56 dB operation during exercise and 67 dB during full load (page 3), it remains neighborhood-friendly. Kohler backs this generator with a premium 5-year/2,000-hour warranty, covering parts, labor, and travel—demonstrating the confidence they place in this high-end standby power system.
