Overview#

The Kohler 300RZXD is a 264-kilowatt LPG industrial standby generator in an open-frame (skid-mounted) configuration. Rated at 184-264 kW standby depending on voltage, it uses a PSI/Doosan engine paired with a brushless permanent-magnet pilot exciter alternator at 1800 RPM. The open-frame design is intended for indoor mechanical rooms or buildings with dedicated generator enclosures.

Gaseous vs diesel at 264 kW#

At this capacity, gaseous generators eliminate on-site fuel storage requirements and SPCC compliance. LPG provides clean combustion with lower emissions than diesel and avoids fuel degradation issues common with low-runtime standby diesel. At this power level, propane consumption is significant, so tank sizing and delivery contracts become important planning considerations.

Our service experience#

PowerGen provides installation, maintenance, and emergency service for Kohler gaseous generators throughout Northern California. The PSI/Doosan engine platform in the RZX series handles the 250+ kW class reliably, and we structure PM programs around annual ignition, fuel system, and coolant inspections.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the standby rating of the Kohler 300RZXD?
The 300RZXD is rated 184-264 kW standby (230-300 kVA) depending on voltage configuration, with a prime rating of 240 kW (300 kVA), operating on LPG at 60 Hz.
What fuel does the Kohler 300RZXD use?
The 300RZXD operates on LPG (propane). Natural gas and dual-fuel variants are also available in the RZX 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.
