low noise and low vibration are required.
Their revolutionary design makes these
generator sets up to 15 dB(A) quieter
than other diesel-powered generators,
and quieter than most gasoline sets. The
units, such as the QD 12000 (Figure 5),
are totally enclosed, including cooling,
muffler, and intake systems. The 12000
has computer-controlled constant speed
operation. A three-point, fully focalized
internal mounting system reduces vibration,
and self-diagnostic capabilities
simplify troubleshooting. Cummins, Columbus,

Kubota Diesel Generator Has
Low Profile to Fit in More
Spaces
The Kubota RV diesel generator delivers
exceptional power from Kubota's
own D902 diesel engine. Compact,
reliable, and innovative, the GL14000
(Figure 6) is ideally suited for a wide
array of applications, including for
backup power. Direct engine coupling
and a unique cooling system enhance
the GL14000's low profile that allows
it to fit in more spaces. All maintenance
locations can be accessed from
a single, large access panel on the side
of the generator: oil gauge, oil filter,
oil fill, fuel filter, water tank, battery,
and air cleaner. Engine oil and coolant
drain extensions are included to help
with regularly scheduled fluid changes.

the SD230 (Figure 7), is durable, and
features noise reduction, weather resistance,
and a streamlined design.
It has an industrial alternator; all Generac
industrial alternators are machine

varnished for consistency. The generator's
Power Manager controller is engineered
with safety and convenience as
priorities. Generac also offers natural
gas-fueled generators that are known
for reliability, durability, and reduced
maintenance. Permitting is much easier
as these units produce 90% fewer
emissions compared to diesel. More

Flexibility, Fuel Efficiency
All of Kohler Industrial's gas generators
are manufactured in the U.S., and
provide maxiumum performance, flexibility,
and fuel efficiency. The 125RZGC
model (Figure 8) is a 60-Hz generator
set that meets National Fire Protection
Association (NFPA) 110, Level 1 requirements,
when equipped with the
necessary accessories and installed
per NFPA standards. It features a FastResponse
X excitation system that
delivers excellent voltage response
and short-circuit capability using a
rare-earth, permanent magnet-excited

generators for sole off-site fuel choices
because these generators rely on a
strong underground pipeline network
that is rarely impacted by weather.
Generac Industrial Power offers an
extensive product line-from 15 kW
through 3.25-MW single generators-
and as much as 100 MW through the
company's innovative MPS technology.
