Cummins Power Generation RS17A-NP2 Details and Specifications

Cummins 17kW Home Standby Generator 200 Amp Automatic Transfer Switch

Cummins 17-Kilowatt Standby Generator 200 Amp, Service-Entrance-Rated, NEMA 3R Indoor/Outdoor Automatic Transfer Switch supplies your entire home during an outage.

The Cummins 17kW Home Standby Generator 200 Amp Automatic Transfer Switch connects permanently to your house through the automatic transfer switch and runs on the existing natural gas or propane supply. It monitors the power company distribution lines 24/7, then automatically starts and runs when it detects an outage and continues to run until the utility restores power.

Note: The Fuel Inlet Connection location has Changed. Click the FAQ Tab for details.

Cummins Quiet Connect 17kW

The Cummins RA212SA3 200-Amp Automatic Transfer Switch with NEMA 3R Aluminum enclosure rated for indoor and outdoor use installs between the utility meter and the main circuit breaker panel. The generator controller automatically starts the generator within seconds after it detects an outage. After startup, it signals the transfer switch to isolate the home from the utility lines and supply it with power from the generator. It all happens automatically within seconds after an outage.

Powerful motor starting capability allows the Cummins 17kW Standby Generator to start a 5-ton air conditioner while operating a full household load and supply clean power to sensitive electronics at the same time. From a no-load condition to accepting a normal household load, the voltage varies by no more than 1.25 percent. Under steady-state conditions, the RS17A-NP2 maintains voltage within 1.25 percent and frequency never varies more than 1.25 percent. Clean, worry free power you can count on.

The Cummins 17kW Home Standby Generator 200-Amp Automatic Transfer Switch with Intelligent Load Management (**kit sold separately) learns and remembers the power requirements of 240-volt loads like air conditioners. Load management allows a smaller, more fuel-efficient generator to manage up to four central air conditioners or other heavy loads. The A051C329 Cummins Load Management Kit controls two appliances like an air conditioner or water water. Two kits can control four loads.

Monitor and control the Cummins Quiet Connect 17kW from almost anywhere. Advanced Remote Access (no cost) uses the highway safety and monitoring network for vehicles and equipment. Check generator status, program exercise periods, even manually start and stop the generator using the Cloud Connect Smartphone App on phones, tablets, or computers. Send performance data directly to your authorized dealer for worry-free maintenance.

A compact, efficient design packs the Cummins 17kW with 200amp Transfer Switch into a 34 x 36 x 27-inch enclosure. The generator meets NFPA 37 code for installation just 18-inches from the home. A sleek and attractive cabinet blends into the landscaping.

Patented sound technology and an advanced housing design with a corrosion resistant aluminum exterior and galvanized steel interior reduces noise and vibration. Sound levels of just 65dBA make the 17kW Standby Generator among the quietest in its class.

The Cummins 17kW with 200amp Transfer Switch comes equipped for operation down to zero degrees out of the box. Cold weather accessories extend the operating temperature well below zero for reliable starts across the northern continental United States.

A patented “Crank-Only” mode reduces wear and tear during the exercise cycle. The engine cranks without starting while the controller performs diagnostics. The Cummins Quiet Connect 17kW gets the exercise it needs, while the controller ensures that the generator is operating correctly. This eco-friendly feature saves fuel and produces less noise than operating the generator for 5 to 20 minutes every week.

Cummins' QSJ999G Engine powers the Cummins 17kW Home Standby Generator 200-Amp Automatic Transfer Switch. Cummins, the world-class leader in diesel and natural gas engines, designed and built the propane or natural gas engine. The installer selects the fuel-type during installation.

    No surge protection!

    Posted by Patricia B. on 1st May 2022

    Generator worked fine until a power surge from a recent storm blew the transfer switch. The generator would not quit running when utility came back on. I had to call an electrician to lead me through shutting down the generator. Now if a storm takes out the electricity I have to go out into the inclement weather and manually start the generator which is hard for a 65 year old woman to do!

    South Texas, Purchased 8/2020 for Hurricanes.... used for Ice Strom 2/2021, Thank God

    Posted by Dee G. on 17th Feb 2021

    Ordered the CPGRS17A-NP2-RP, 17KW with 200 amp transfer switch, arrived in about a week. Purchased 8/2020, installed 9/2020. We have a autistic son that doesn't understand when the power goes out, Dad can't fix it. Well Dad fixed it with this 17KW Cumming Generator. This generator is so quiet we sleep thru the transfer of power. Quiet dependable automatic natural gas powered, a true life saver for these crazy ice storm or hurricanes we experienced in South Texas. Several of my neighbors are now buying themselves the same Cummings package we did. Keep whole house 2900 sq. ft., with natural gas and electric appliances and a swimming pool. Purchased the unit from Norwall.com, they are the best, answered all my questions. Hired local certified electrician. I had a slab poured and the gas line run. A better unit for less money than the local Big Box Generator store wanted.

    Cummins17KVA and ATS review

    Posted by Al H. on 5th Jan 2020

    I recently purchased and installed this unit in my new home. The unit took about 4 weeks to arrive, delaying the install until after we moved into our home. The unit itself is an aesthetically pleasing, being the size that it is, that is fairly important. I did the install myself, and despite being an electrical engineer, found the installation instructions, particularly for the control wiring, to be confusing and somewhat inaccurate in the manuals. After several re-reads, viewing a couple of youtube videos on the subject, I was able to figure out and connect up the generator. The setup from their on was easy, as I was able to step through the instructions with no problems. Additionally, the Cummings Cloud Connect website was easy to maneuver and set up online and smartphone access. I've only tested the unit twice to see if it would start in the event of an outage, it seemed to work well both transferring on to standby power and back on to utility power. It might be nice to have some delay (20-30 seconds) on utility failure, as in our area, utility breaker resets take -5-10 seconds to occur, and in the case of this generator, it is already running and transferred. I did not see a configuration parameter to change it from instant on/transfer. So far I'd highly recommend the Cummings-Onan generators. I've owned other Cummings - Onan products and found them to be of very good quality. *****
