This design suits heavy-gauge conductors usually found in high-capacity electrical setups. Its compact 111.8mm outer diameter gives it a robust build, making installation easy inside residential transfer switch enclosures or commercial electrical panels.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSeamless Generator System Integration\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eBuilt for Kohler generator sets equipped with RDC2 and DC2 controllers, this transformer integrates well with load management systems. It constantly monitors electrical current and frequency to maintain optimal generator performance. The transformer transmits essential load data that supports dynamic load shedding, protecting sensitive electronics like computers and televisions from harmful frequency drops during generator use.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ch3\u003eProfessional-Grade Construction\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe GM17250-KP1-QS is manufactured to comply with strict electrical safety standards. It includes an internal 16-ohm burden resistor for accurate signal conversion. With its rugged construction, it delivers reliable operation in both indoor and outdoor environments when installed correctly. This unit carries a UL listing and CSA certification, proving it meets North American safety regulations for both residential and commercial use.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ch3\u003eIntelligent Load Management Applications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eUsed together with Kohler’s load control module, this transformer can manage up to six residential loads automatically. The system prioritizes essential circuits and temporarily disconnects non-critical loads during peak power demand. This intelligent load management helps homeowners and businesses run smaller, more cost-effective generator sets without sacrificing power to critical appliances.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow the Kohler GM17250 Transformer Works\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe transformer measures the electrical current flowing through the primary service conductors. As current passes through the cable placed inside the transformer's inner diameter, a proportional voltage signal is induced based on the 400:3 ratio. The signal feeds the load control module, which continuously evaluates power use and generator capacity to guide real-time load shedding and restoration.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ch3\u003eInstallation Flexibility\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe larger inner diameter design offers versatile installation options for multiple cable sizes. Electricians can conveniently install oversized or multiple conductors without facing space problems. The unit mounts easily within transfer switch enclosures or near distribution panels, providing accurate current measurement for monitored phases.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ch3\u003eKohler GM17250-KP1-QS Transformer Specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cth\u003eSpecification\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cth\u003eValue\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003ctd\u003eModel Number\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003ctd\u003eGM17250-KP1-QS\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003ctd\u003eService Part Number\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003ctd\u003eGM17250\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003ctd\u003eCurrent Rating\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003ctd\u003e400 Amps Primary\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003ctd\u003eVoltage Output\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003ctd\u003e3 VAC Secondary\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003ctd\u003eTransformation Ratio\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003ctd\u003e400:3\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003ctd\u003eInner Diameter\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003ctd\u003e57.2 mm (2.25 inches)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003ctd\u003eOuter Diameter\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003ctd\u003e111.8 mm (4.4 inches)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003ctd\u003eBurden Resistor\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003ctd\u003e16 Ohms (Internal)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003ctd\u003eCompatible Controllers\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003ctd\u003eRDC2, DC2\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003ctd\u003eApplication\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003ctd\u003eLoad Control Module, Load Shed Kit\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003ctd\u003eCertification\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003ctd\u003eUL Listed, CSA Available\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ch3\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.kohler.com\/content\/dam\/kohler-com-NA\/Lifestyle\/PDF\/PDF-202312_US_Kohler_G12462_en-US.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Kohler GM17250-KP1-QS Current Transformer\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ch3\u003eIdeal Applications for the Kohler GM17250 Transformer\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis current transformer works excellently for residential backup power systems and light commercial generator applications.
