The GeneratorJoe Model 20 RDF3 is a Residential Defender™ Series generator with 20 kW (25 kVA) 60 Hz, of maximum output. These industrial generators are suitable for prime power and standby use. When you need the dependability of an industrial grade generator, with all the features you need, the Residential Defender™ Series is for you. Available in several models, these models are competitively priced to deliver the performance and value found only on more expensive competitors models.

GeneratorJoe generators are designed for many applications where power is needed. GeneratorJoe generators are manufactured to commercial specifications using the latest manufacturing technologies. All models are built with the quality and reliability you would expect from a leading generator manufacturer.

The Marathon brushless alternator used on this model is manufactured to exacting specifications using the latest mass production methods. GeneratorJoe generators use technology to control the voltage with a voltage variation less than 3% throughout the entire power range. That means you can use this generator with computers and sensitive electronics, safely, with no sacrifice in performance.

This model features a premium Ford model DSG-423, 3 cylinder, 50 HP, LP/NG fueled, liquid cooled engine with electric start. This model runs at 1800 RPM and generates 20 kW (25 kVA) 60 Hz, or 16.7 kW (20.8 kVA) 50 Hz. of Standby (emergency or maximum) power and 18 kW 15 kW prime (continuous) power at a primary voltage of 277/480 VAC, three phase, 60 Hertz, with 1% voltage accuracy. Single phase models are available as 120/240 VAC. Three phase models are available as 120/240, 120/208 or 277/480 VAC. If 50 Hz models are available they would be built as a special order. For 50 Hz voltage and amperage ratings, click on the Open Specification Window and then check the 50 Hz check box.
 
This model comes with a Digital 300 control panel with autostart. If you require voltage and amperage readouts, upgrade to the Digital 400 panel.
 
This model has economical fuel use of 67 cubic feet per hour at 1/2 load. Use our Value Converter and insert the cfh value at LP Cubic Feet per Hour (ft3/hr) to convert to gallons.
 
The price includes a factory warranty of 60 months or 5000 hours whichever comes first.

Open dimensions are 57.5" Long X 30" Wide X 32" High. Open weight is 750 lbs. Enclosed dimensions are 58" Long X 30.5" Wide X 33" High. Enclosed weight is 805 lbs. Open quietness is 73 db at 7 meters. Enclosed quietness is 70 db at 7 meters.

Trailers: Generatlly propane and Natural Gas generators are not mounted on trailers.
 
Enclosures: Weather and sound proof enclosures (if available), are built using steel panels and locking doors on a modular structural base frame. Sound enclosures include a rock-wool layer of insulation, which complies with the prevailing regulations and accomplishes the sound attenuating elements. Most enclosures include hot ambient air extraction fan. Select an enclosure from the Product Options windows, if available. For additional enclosure information click on Enclosure Details in the Additional Information area below.

Fuel Tanks: Fuel tanks are provided by your local propane supplier. We do not sell propane tanks.

Transfer Switches: The automatic transfer switch monitors utility and generator power. When utility power fails or is unsatisfactory, the transfer switch control starts the generator set, checks the generator speed and voltage output and transfers the load to the generator set. When utility power is restored the transfer switch automatically transfers back to utility power. The generator is allowed to cool down for a short period and then shuts down. The system instantly resets itself and is ready for the next power interruption. No action is required by the user.

You must select a transfer switch that is the same size in amps (or larger) then your building service or sub-panel. The transfer switch must also be the same size in amps (or larger) than the maximum output of the generator you select. Example: If you have a 12 kW generator operating at 120 VAC single phase, (100 Amps) and a 200 amp building service you need a 200 Amp transfer switch or you must install a 100 Amp sub-panel. Transfer switches should be installed by a licensed electrician. For more information on transfer switches please see About Transfer Switches.

Select a transfer switch to go with your generator from the drop down option list at the top of this page under Product Options. The transfer switches shown are compatible with this generator. If you need additional transfer switch poles, auxiliary contacts or communications features, ASCO Transfer Switches. For special needs, volume purchases and other questions, call your GeneratorJoe sales representative at 707 539-9003 for assistance. All ASCO switches are shipped FREE when you purchase the switch with a generator.
