Cummins Home Standby Generator Preview Video
17kW Residential Standby Generator, Quiet Connect Automatic Power System
The Cummins Quiet Connect RS17AE is a permanently installed standby generator designed to power your entire home during outages. It runs on natural gas or propane and automatically restores power within seconds of utility loss.
Built with a corrosion-resistant aluminum enclosure and heavy-duty steel frame, the RS17AE is engineered for long-term outdoor installation. It features a fully enclosed, sound-attenuated housing and a commercial-grade engine designed for reliability in extreme weather conditions.
The Quiet Connect system is equipped with a user-friendly digital control panel and supports remote monitoring through Cummins Connect Cloud™. This allows homeowners and installers to monitor generator status, maintenance alerts, and performance from anywhere.
What’s the Extreme Cold Weather Kit?
The RS17AE includes Cummins’ Extreme Cold Weather Kit as part of its standard all-weather configuration. This factory-installed package is designed to support reliable operation in severe winter conditions, including temperatures down to -40°F (-40°C).
It helps to:
• Ensure reliable starting in extreme cold
• Maintain battery and engine oil temperature
• Reduce condensation and moisture buildup
• Protect internal components during winter operation
Why Pair a Cummins Generator with an Automatic Transfer Switch?
A standby generator only works seamlessly when paired with a properly sized automatic transfer switch (ATS).
An ATS:
• Detects power outages instantly
• Transfers electrical load safely and automatically
• Prevents backfeed into the utility grid
• Restores utility power when service returns
When combined, the generator and ATS create a fully automated backup power system that operates without manual intervention.
