Cummins’ newly unveiled QSG12 50Hz diesel generator series offers optimum performance, reliability and versatility for stationary standby and prime power applications.

With an improved design and an advanced combustion system, this new model series offers more power for less space, by delivering a much higher power density and a more reliable power solution, says the US-based manufacturer.

They can be used in a wide variety of applications, such as hospitals, manufacturing, commercial and industrial facilities. A reduced noise level down to 67Db(A) at 75 per cent makes the series an ideal choice for such industries.

Ignacio Gonzalez, executive director of Power Systems Greater Europe, comments: “This product series includes many design and performance improvements and it is a definitive step forward for us. In addition to the robust performance and fuel efficiency offering, Cummins customers can depend on comprehensive warranty and worldwide distributor network, making this series a perfect fit for global standby and prime power applications.”

Available from 360 to 450 kVA at 50 Hz, the new C400D5 and C450D5 generator set models are powered by a Cummins four-cycle, inline, six-cylinder dual speed engine. The heavy-duty engine is designed to respond to low emission requirements and delivers fast response to load changes, while using less fuel. In particular, an XPI fuel system is embedded on the engine across all new models for greater fuel efficiency.

All new models can run in grid parallel mode to fit the diverse project site customer requirements. Additional features offered within this new product offering include extended service intervals of 500 hours for easier maintenance and unaided cold start capability at -12 deg C.

The generators were showcased at the Matelec show in Madrid, Spain, held from November 13 to 16.
