Cummins Home Standby Generator Preview Video
13kW Air-Cooled Residential Standby Generator, Quiet Connect Automatic Power System
The Cummins Quiet Connect RS13A is a permanently installed standby generator designed to provide automatic backup power during outages. Operating on natural gas or propane, it restores electricity within seconds of utility interruption—without manual startup.
Built with a corrosion-resistant aluminum enclosure and heavy-duty internal components, the RS13A is engineered for long-term outdoor installation. Its fully enclosed, sound-attenuated housing provides reliable year-round operation in standard residential climates.
What About Cold Weather Operation?
The RS13A includes standard all-weather capability for typical residential climates.
For colder regions, an optional Cold Weather Kit can be added to support improved starting performance and winter reliability.
Kit Includes:
- Ensure reliable starting in freezing temperatures
- Maintain battery and engine oil temperature
- Reduce condensation and moisture-related issues
- Protect internal components during winter operation
Why Pair a Generator with an Automatic Transfer Switch?
An automatic transfer switch (ATS) detects outages instantly, transfers electrical load safely, prevents backfeed into the utility grid, and restores utility power when service returns.
When combined, the generator and ATS create a fully automated backup power system.
Housed in a weather-resistant aluminum and steel sound-attenuated enclosure, this generator operates at just 65 dB(A) at 7 meters, ensuring quiet performance that won’t disrupt your home or neighborhood.
-
Quiet, Whole-Home Backup Power – Delivers 13kW of clean, stable power with low noise output at just 65 dB(A), keeping your home running without disruption.
-
Dual-Fuel Flexibility – Field-selectable operation on natural gas or liquid propane, delivering full output on either fuel source.
-
Smart, Automatic Protection – Features automatic start, remote monitoring capability, and intelligent diagnostics for hands-free reliability during outages.
Reliable Power, Clean Output
At the heart of the system is a 999cc Cummins air-cooled V-Twin OHV engine, delivering dependable power with less than 5% total harmonic distortion (THD). This clean electrical output is safe for sensitive electronics, appliances, and modern home systems.
The generator is field-selectable for natural gas or liquid propane (vapor), providing flexibility to match your home’s fuel source while maintaining full 13kW output on either fuel.
