Cummins recently announced the new RS125 and RS150 models in the QuietConnect series, ranging from 13 kW up to 150 kW to back up larger homes and small businesses, including dental and medical offices, grocery stores, gas stations and strip malls. The 125 kW and 150 kW models will be released in the beginning of January.
Both models are equipped to operate under extreme environmental conditions including cold weather starts below zero degrees Fahrenheit, and can withstand winds of up to 180 miles per hour when equipped with accessories. The generator can operate in ambient temperatures up to 122 degrees Fahrenheit.
“Every year during winter storm season, hundreds of thousands – sometimes millions – of people lose power, which, in many cases also means heat,” said Jodie Wilson, director of marketing communications at Cummins. “Our new generators are designed to power up seamlessly when the power goes down, providing home and business owners with a peace of mind that their families and businesses won’t be without lights and heat in the winter months or air conditioning in the summer months.”
The RS125 and RS150 are powered by the Cummins QSJ8.9G spark-ignited engine, an adaptation of the QSL9 diesel engine.
Both models use PowerCommand 2.3 electronic control, which also allows users to put the generator into Flexible Exercise Mode, enabling the generator to exercise at a time, frequency and duration set by the customer from two minutes to every six months.
The RS125 and RS150 are backed by a two-year limited warranty and supported by a nationwide dealer network of over 500 dealers specializing in installing and servicing generators for homes and small businesses, to provide additional peace of mind to consumers.
