Overview#

The Kohler 100REZGD is a 100-kilowatt LPG industrial standby generator in an enclosed configuration. Rated at 77-100 kW standby depending on voltage, it uses a General Motors V8 engine paired with a brushless permanent-magnet alternator at 1800 RPM. This unit is EPA certified for stationary emergency applications and is suited for commercial facilities, healthcare, and institutional buildings.

Gaseous vs diesel at 100 kW#

At this capacity, gaseous generators eliminate on-site fuel storage requirements and SPCC compliance obligations. Propane offers unlimited runtime as long as the supply is maintained and avoids the fuel degradation issues common with low-runtime standby diesel units. The trade-off is dependence on propane delivery infrastructure during extended outages.

Our service experience#

PowerGen provides installation, maintenance, and emergency service for Kohler gaseous generators throughout Northern California. The GM V8 platform in the RZG series is a well-understood engine with broad parts availability, and we structure PM programs around annual ignition and coolant system inspections.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the standby rating of the Kohler 100REZGD?
The 100REZGD is rated 77-100 kW standby (77-125 kVA) depending on voltage configuration, operating on LPG at 60 Hz.
What fuel does the Kohler 100REZGD use?
The 100REZGD operates on LPG (propane). Dual-fuel variants are also available in the RZG line.
What is the difference between RZX and REZX models?
RZX designates the open-frame (skid-mounted) configuration, while REZX is the enclosed (sound-attenuated or weather-protective) version. Both use the same engine-alternator package; the difference is the enclosure.
