Kohler Generators Introduces Innovative Paralleling Module
Module enables automatic paralleling of home/light commercial generator sets
KOHLER, Wis. – Oct. 17, 2013 – Kohler Generators has introduced the KOHLER PowerSyncTM Automatic Paralleling Module (APM) to allow single-phase paralleling of its 14-kW and 20-kW automatic standby generators for homes and small businesses to assure constant power and handle increased loads for today’s critical electronics.
The module is among the first of its kind to automatically synchronize two generators to provide an added layer of redundancy to power critical electronics if one is out of service. It also automatically connects the second generator to expand capacity when electrical loads increase.
Using the module to better match power needs may decrease generator fuel consumption, extend generator life, and could be a more cost-effective option than a larger kilowatt unit. Especially for small businesses like convenience stores and restaurants, using the PowerSync APM may allow owners to save money on their investment in backup power while ensuring they have the power they need to keep their doors open during a utility outage.
The PowerSync APM is compatible with the KOHLER 14RESA and 20RESA models equipped with the RDC2 controller, as well as with the company’s residential generator accessories, including the RXT transfer switch, Load Control Module and load shed kits, Programmable Interface Module, and the OnCue®Generator Management System.
The PowerSync APM features advanced controls for easy operation, an LED user interface, aluminum enclosure suitable for indoor or outdoor installation, and comes with activation codes for Kohler’s patented OnCue®management system. The module is UL listed and compatible with 200 Amp service.
