Model options

  Best when you already have a transfer switch or want a custom whole-home design. Wi-Fi/Mobile Link is included.

• 7210 — 24/21 kW Air-Cooled + 200A SE (Whole-House) Transfer Switch
  Complete bundle for up to 200A services. The included PWRview™ SE switch adds whole-home energy monitoring.

What a 24/21 kW generator can run (typical)

A 24/21 kW unit can back up most essentials plus many comfort loads in gas-heated homes. Actual capacity depends on start surges, altitude, and temperature.

• Refrigeration & pumps

  • Refrigerator and freezer

  • One or two sump/well pumps (often up to ~1 HP with load management)

• Heating & cooling

  • Gas furnace or boiler (blower/circulators)

  • Central A/C up to ~5 tons with soft-start or smart load management (varies by LRA).

• Home essentials

  • Lighting circuits (LED), outlets, garage door opener

  • Internet/router, home office electronics, TVs

  • Kitchen outlets and a microwave; many ranges/ovens can be included if other loads are managed

Rule of thumb:

• LP (24 kW) ≈ 100 A at 240 V available for steady loads—keep headroom for motor starts.

• NG (21 kW) ≈ 87.5 A at 240 V steady, plus start headroom.

• Large electric loads (tankless electric water heater, electric dryer, EV charger) usually need smart load shedding or exclusion.

Built-in protection

The generator continuously monitors itself and will safely shut down for:

1. Low oil pressure

2. High temperature

3. Over/under-speed

4. Controller fault / over-crank

5. Wiring error

6. Over/under-voltage

Key performance features

• True Power™ (<5% THD): utility-grade power for sensitive electronics.

• G-Force™ engine: purpose-built for generators; durable, low-maintenance design.

• Quiet-Test™ mode: low-RPM self-test that reduces noise and fuel use.

• All-aluminum enclosure: RhinoCoat™ finish for corrosion resistance in all weather.

Connected convenience

• Mobile Link™ monitoring (included): check status, alerts, and maintenance from your phone, tablet, or PC.

• 7210 bundle: 200A SE whole-house switch with PWRview energy monitoring.
