Description

Features

The Cummins Power Generation DF-series commercial generator set is a fully integrated power generation system providing optimum performance, reliability, and versatility for stationary standby or prime power applications.

A primary feature of the DF GenSet is strong motor-starting capability and fast recovery from transient load changes. The torque-matched system includes a heavy-duty Cummins 4-cycle diesel engine, an AC alternator with high motor-starting kVA capacity, and an electronic voltage regulator with threephase sensing for precise regulation under steady-state or transient loads. The DF GenSet accepts 100% of the nameplate standby rating in one step, in compliance with NFPA 110 requirements.

The standard PowerCommand® digital electronic control is an integrated system that combines engine and alternator controls for high reliability and optimum GenSet performance.

Optional weather-protective enclosures and coolant heaters shield the generator set from extreme operating conditions. Environmental concerns are addressed by low exhaust emission engines, sound-attenuated enclosures, exhaust silencers, and dual-wall fuel tanks. A wide range of options, accessories, and services are available, allowing configuration to your specific power generation needs.

Every production unit is factory tested at rated load and power factor. This testing includes demonstration of rated power and single-step rated load pickup. Cummins Power Generation manufacturing facilities are registered to ISO9001 quality standards, emphasizing our commitment to high quality in the design, manufacture, and support of our products. The generator set is CSA certified and is available as UL2200 Listed. The PowerCommand control is UL508 Listed.

All Cummins Power Generation systems are backed by a comprehensive warranty program and supported by a worldwide network of 170 distributors and service branches to assist with warranty, service, parts, and planned maintenance support.

Rating Definitions

Standby Rating based on: Applicable for supplying emergency power for the duration of normal power interruption. No sustained overload capability is available for this rating. (Equivalent to Fuel Stop Power in accordance with ISO3046, AS2789 DIN6271 and BS5514). Nominally rated.

Prime (Unlimited Running Time) Rating based on: Applicable for supplying power in lieu of commercially purchased power. Prime power is the maximum power available at a variable load for an unlimited number of hours. A 10% overload capability is available for limited time. (Equivalent to Prime Power in accordance with ISO8528 and Overload Power in accordance with ISO3046, AS2789, DIN6271, and BS5514). This rating is not applicable to all generator set models.
