Kohler Power Systems Load Management This video specifically shows the Load Control Module but the Load Shed Kit and the RXT Load management board operate the same way.
Thanks this was a HUGE help to me. I've spent a week trying figuring this out and your video answered all of them for me. I can not thank you enough exactly what I needed to know. Great video great demo just what I needed.
Wow, thank you for the great video and demonstration. I have just been getting into generators. You did what I like to do and do a mock set up and test something before it is actually installed. I would like to see how the load shedding panel is physically installed in an application where the generator is being installed into an existing residence. Do all the load shedding branch circuits have to be pulled out of the main panel and put into the load shedding panel?
I would. It's best practice to delay the restart of your AC systems or other large loads. It gives them time to go through any cooldown or reset they may need to. It also allows your system to come online before trying to start a larger load with all other potential appliances and load. Stepping your loads minimizes the chance of an overload situation.
It depends on the setup. Some transfer switches have this function built into it, others have the Load Shed Kit. Operational they all work the same but the physical design or setup may be different. Basically you need at minimum a single phase Kohler Generator with an RDC2 or DC2 controller and a load management device.
Wow....Your video SHOWED exactly what I needed to know! Installers should show this before they install so that the customer can understand what is going on. My 20k RESC, (with RDC2 control on the generator), install should be finished in 1 or 2 days. I was worried about how this was going to work and thought that maybe I would NOT have the option to drop and add some loads once the wiring was done. But after looking at your video, it appears that the WHOLE HOUSE is wired in, and then I should be able to prioritize which loads I want. Does the installer do the prioritizing, OR can I prioritize the loads anytime I want to from the RDC2 control on the generator, or maybe do it from the OnCuePlus program? Thanks!
Hey, I just saw this, sorry. I hope your job went well. The prioritization needs to be hardwired. So if you want x to be the highest priority you need to wire it to A. If you want it to be the lowest priority, wire it to D.
i was hoping you could explain my kohler gen problem it only works if i have the start button press. also i am trying to purchase resistors but 1 is $130 im thinking i could use a substitute resistor

Thanks for the explanation!

I really liked you video ,you have another video , for teach all steps by steps . Thanks
That’s real nice piece!!

Well done video!
If I do not have the load control module should I still connect my 2 ac units to the hvac 5 minute time delay ?

Do you need to change panel to use load shedding
