The KOHLER 20kW standby generator with a bundled 200A automatic transfer switch is designed to provide dependable residential backup power during utility outages. Operating at 120/240V single‑phase, this system automatically detects a loss of utility power and transfers electrical load from the utility source to the generator without manual intervention. The generator is intended to support essential household systems such as heating and cooling equipment, refrigeration, lighting, and other critical circuits, making it suitable for whole‑home or large‑load backup applications.
This bundled standby power system is well suited for primary residences, remote or work‑from‑home environments, and properties where maintaining consistent electrical service is important during power interruptions. The 200A service‑entrance‑rated automatic transfer switch is designed to integrate directly at the main electrical service, enabling seamless operation and safe power transfer between utility and generator sources. The system is intended for permanent outdoor installation and residential standby use where automatic response and power continuity are required.
