Generac Protector Diesel 20kW - Heavy-Duty Liquid-Cooled Backup
20,000 Watts. 2.5L Mitsubishi Diesel Engine. 1800 RPM Low Speed.
The Generac Protector® Diesel 20kW is engineered for homeowners and light commercial properties that require industrial-grade reliability. Powered by a heavy-duty 2.5L Mitsubishi In-Line 4-cylinder engine operating at a low 1800 RPM, this generator offers exceptional fuel efficiency and a significantly longer lifespan than high-speed alternatives. With its integrated 33.5-gallon double-wall fuel tank, it provides up to 31 hours of runtime at 50% load, ensuring your essential systems stay online during extended outages.
Precision Engineering & Quiet Performance
This diesel standby generator features an Isochronous Electronic Governor, providing precise voltage and frequency regulation (±1%)—making it perfectly safe for sensitive electronics, HVAC systems, and high-end appliances. The Quiet-Test™ mode allows for weekly self-tests at reduced RPMs to save fuel and minimize noise, while the corrosion-resistant Aluminum Enclosure ensures your investment is protected against harsh coastal air and extreme weather conditions.
Mobile Link™ Monitoring
Integrated Wi-Fi and Ethernet connectivity allows you to track generator status, schedule maintenance, and receive real-time alerts from your smartphone or tablet anywhere in the world.
Code-Ready Safety
Designed to meet strict regional codes with a UL/CUL 142-listed double-wall base fuel tank, ensuring compliance and environmental protection in any residential or commercial setting.
