The Kohler 250REZXB is a 260-kilowatt LPG industrial standby generator in an enclosed configuration. Rated at 170-260 kW standby depending on voltage, it uses a Doosan engine paired with a brushless permanent-magnet alternator at 1800 RPM. This unit is EPA certified for both stationary emergency and non-emergency applications, with hurricane-rated enclosure options available featuring 186 mph wind load rating.
At 260 kW, 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 for extended outage scenarios.
OnPoint Generators provides installation, maintenance, and emergency service for Kohler gaseous generators throughout Northern California. The Doosan engine platform in the REZX series handles the 200+ kW class reliably, and we structure PM programs around annual ignition, fuel system, and coolant inspections with attention to the higher-capacity fuel delivery components.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the standby rating of the Kohler 250REZXB?
The 250REZXB is rated 170-260 kW standby (213-325 kVA) depending on voltage configuration, with prime ratings of 225-235 kW, operating on LPG at 60 Hz.
What fuel does the Kohler 250REZXB use?
The 250REZXB operates on LPG (propane). Natural gas and dual-fuel variants are also available in the REZX 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.
