Kohler KG100R 100kW Generator Features:
Kohler KG100R 100kW Generator
The Kohler KG100R is a powerful and adaptable 100kW standby generator engineered to deliver reliable three-phase or single-phase backup power for commercial, industrial, and high-demand residential applications. With Kohler’s legendary engine design, smart digital controls, and rugged construction, this model provides superior voltage regulation, high surge capacity, and field-proven durability.
At the heart of the KG100R is a 6.2L turbocharged and aftercooled V8 engine (model KG6208THD), delivering smooth and efficient performance at 1800 RPM. Whether operating on natural gas or propane, this generator handles full-load demand with ease and supports dual-fuel operation with optional automatic switch-over capability.
The generator’s Fast-Response® X excitation system, powered by a rare-earth permanent magnet alternator, ensures ±0.5% voltage regulation and <3.2% total harmonic distortion (THD)—ideal for safely powering electronics, motors, and critical equipment. It is capable of accepting 100% of rated load in a single step, and features peak motor starting capacity up to 448 kVA (depending on voltage configuration).
The APM402 controller provides advanced system monitoring and control with a digital interface, Modbus® compatibility, thermal overload protection, and NFPA 110 Level 1 compliance when properly equipped. You can access real-time status updates and adjust parameters locally or remotely, ensuring precise generator management at all times.
Sound attenuation is achieved through Kohler’s acoustic insulation, a critical-grade silencer, and vertical airflow design, yielding 69 dB(A) at 23 feet under full load. The generator is available with a steel or optional aluminum enclosure, both designed for outdoor durability, with the aluminum model rated to withstand 186 mph wind loads.
Fuel consumption at full load is approximately 1,473 cfh (natural gas) or 664 cfh (LP), and the unit includes standard features like integral vibration isolation, emergency stop switch, and oil drain extension. It’s also UL 2200 listed, CSA approved, EPA compliant, and available with extended warranty options.
