Kohler 6VSG
6 kW, Single Phase, Natural Gas|LP |
 |
The generator made for renewable energy, including solar power or other remote applications. The KOHLER 6VSG battery-charging generator efficiently charges battery banks when renewable energy sources can’t keep up with demand. If your battery charge drops below a pre-set level, the 6VSG charges it automatically. |
Features
-
High-quality power. The 6VSG provides consistent power to charge battery banks used with renewable energy, telecom and other remote applications.
-
Economical. The 6VSG is fueled by clean, affordable natural gas or liquid propane (LPG).
-
Remote control. Add the Programmable Interface Module and OnCue® Generator Management System to communicate with the 6VSG remotely.
-
Automatic. The generator senses when the battery bank is running low and turns on automatically to keep up with demand.
STATE-OF-THE-ART BATTERY CHARGING
-
Designed specifically for efficient charging of battery banks for renewable energy, telecom and other remote applications; provides consistent direct-current output to maintain battery banks directly without inefficient conversions from alternating current
-
Can be used for industrial battery bus support to reduce the size of battery banks
-
Generator can maintain batteries directly without an expensive converter or monitoring equipment
-
Longer engine life and reduced fuel consumption when compared to fixed speed; variable engine speed (2300-2900 RPM) reduces maintenance requirements and fuel consumption and extends the life of the engine
-
Powered by commercial-grade KOHLER Command PRO® engine
-
Accommodates most systems; compatible with positive- or negative-grounded systems in 24, 26 and 48 volt configurations
SPECIAL FEATURES
