Description

Key Features

  • Rated Power Output: Approximately 1,200 kW (may convert to ~1,500 kVA at 0.8 PF) – depending on configuration and voltage/frequency.

  • Fuel Type – Natural Gas: Designed to operate on natural gas, ensuring reduced particulate emissions, lower NOₓ and CO₂ compared to diesel alternatives and suitability for sites with pipeline or well gas. 

  • Engine Brand & Technology – Cummins: Based on Cummins natural gas engine platform (for example the C1200 N5C series, V16, 60 L displacement) with proven reliability. 

  • Industrial‑Grade Alternator & Control System: High performance alternator, digital controller (Cummins PowerCommand® or equivalent) for load management, automatic start/stop, protection and remote monitoring capability.

  • Single‑Unit Format: Simplifies logistics, commissioning and maintenance compared to multi‑unit or parallel systems; ideal for installations where space is available for a full‑size unit.

  • Flexible Voltage / Frequency Options: Can be configured for 50 Hz or 60 Hz markets, and a variety of voltages such as 400 V, 480 V, etc., depending on customer requirement.

  • High Efficiency & Lower Lifecycle Cost: Natural gas drive‑cycle engine design means lower fuel cost per kWh and fewer maintenance demands compared with older diesel gensets.

  • Environment & Emission Compliance: Cummins natural gas gensets are engineered to meet modern emissions regulations, and the 1,200 kW rating falls into their above‑1 000 kW category focused on high‑power natural gas solutions. 

  • Robust Construction: Suitable for industrial environments; can be supplied as open skid, weather‑protected or sound‑attenuated enclosure depending on site requirements.


Applications 

Typical Use Cases of the 1,200 kW Cummins Natural Gas Generator

  • Large Industrial Facilities & Manufacturing Plants: Provide primary or standby power for production lines, heavy motors, compressed air systems, and process loads.

  • Commercial Complexes & Data Centres: Reliable power for mission‑critical infrastructure where downtime must be minimised.

  • Utility & Infrastructure Deployments: Suitable for pump stations, water/wastewater treatment, grid‑support installations, remote sites.

  • Remote / Off‑Grid Power Solutions: Where natural gas (pipeline or well‑gas) is available and diesel transport costs or emissions are prohibitive.

  • Low‑Carbon Transition Projects: For organisations switching from diesel to cleaner fuels, a natural gas unit like this offers a strong bridging solution.
