Cummins Emergency and Standby Power
An emergency power system is an independent power generation system that is legally required to feed equipment or systems whose failure may present a life safety hazard to persons or property. A standby power system refers to an independent power system that allows operation of a facility in the event of normal power failure.
Businesses and institutions can lose power due to:
  • Utility Power failure
  • Hurricanes
  • Ice storms
  • Capacity-related issues
In such events, Cummins Power Generation emergency and standby power systems provide uninterrupted power for essential operations and help businesses comply with life/safety codes.
Features and Benefits:
  • Diesel and natural gas generator sets from 4 to 2700kW
  • PowerCommand® control systems (PowerCommand smart technology in integrated digital control)
  • Transfer switches from 30 to 3000 amps
Diesel Generator Sets
Diesel powered generator sets remain the number–one choice for standby and emergency power systems, worldwide. Able to start and assume load in less than 10 seconds, and rated load in a single step, Cummins diesel generator sets are the epitome of rugged dependability and reliable mechanical and electrical performance. Diesel generators are also well suited to utility peaking plants, Distributed Generation (DG) facilities, peak shaving (or peak lopping), and power management at large commercial or industrial sites.
Features and Benefits:
As a mature technology, Cummins clean and modern diesel–powered generators offer these key benefits:
  • Rapid product availability
  • Proven reliability and low life–cycle costs
  • High efficiency and operational flexibility
  • High quality electrical performance
  • Well–established service and fuel supply infrastructure
  • Optional factory–integrated exhaust aftertreatments reduce emissions for high–hour use in environmentally sensitive locations
Our 7.5 kW to 25 kW air– and liquid–cooled diesel generator sets offer traditional rugged construction, durability, and reliability for applications range from nursing homes to wireless services, to prime power for remote or temporary sites.
In the 35 kW to 500 kW range, our diesel–fueled generator sets with PowerCommand offer a wide array of system features that can be tailored to your specific application, whether for standby or prime power.
In the 600 kW to 2.7 MW range, our diesel–fueled PowerCommand generator sets meet your most demanding standby or prime power applications.
Spark–Ignited Gas Generator Sets
Our spark–ignited generator sets, 6.0 to 150 kW, are designed for applications that call for gaseous fuel options as a result of fuel containment, economic and emissions considerations, or compliance with local codes. These generator sets have fuel systems for both natural gas and propane, making them a convenient choice for a variety of life–support and related applications, including small health care facilities and retail businesses.
Features and Benefits:
A complete selection of voltages, accessories, generator set and control options are available for customizing to your application. Major features include:
  • Multiple control system options, including NFPA 110 compliance
  • Natural gas, propane or combination fuel systems
  • Weather–protective and sound–attenuated enclosures address environmental concerns for outdoor installations
  • Strong motor–starting capability and fast recovery from transient load changes to keep your site operational
  • Some models are available with optional closed–loop fuel control systems and three–way catalyst to limit emissions to 1.5 grams per brake horsepower–hour
Transfer Switches
Cummins Power Generation offers several transfer switch product lines for use in switching power between two services and with the needs of your application. PowerCommand® transfer switches round out the essential parts of a complete power system from Cummins Power Generation. These microprocessor-based components are designed to function together with a PowerCommand generator set as a seamless power system to deliver reliability, performance and cost effectiveness.
These microprocessor-based controls optimize performance and simplify operation and service in over 100,000 installations worldwide.
