The Kohler 300REZXD is a 300-kilowatt LPG industrial standby generator in an enclosed configuration. Rated at 210-300 kW standby depending on voltage, it uses a PSI/Doosan engine paired with a brushless permanent-magnet pilot exciter alternator at 1800 RPM. This unit is EPA certified for both stationary and mobile emergency and non-emergency applications, with hurricane-rated enclosure options featuring 186 mph wind load rating.
At 300 kW, gaseous generators eliminate on-site diesel fuel storage requirements and SPCC compliance. LPG provides clean combustion with lower emissions than diesel and avoids fuel degradation issues. At this power level, propane consumption is significant, so tank sizing and delivery contracts are critical planning considerations for extended outage scenarios.
OnPoint Generators provides installation, maintenance, and emergency service for Kohler gaseous generators throughout Northern California. The PSI/Doosan engine platform in the larger REZX units is built for the 300+ kW class, and we structure PM programs around annual ignition, fuel system, and coolant inspections with attention to the pilot exciter alternator system.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the standby rating of the Kohler 300REZXD?
The 300REZXD is rated 210-300 kW standby (263-375 kVA) depending on voltage configuration, with a prime rating of 270 kW (338 kVA), operating on LPG at 60 Hz.
What fuel does the Kohler 300REZXD use?
The 300REZXD 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.
