Key Features of the 400 kW Cummins Natural Gas Generator
Rated Power Output: Approx. 400 kW (or roughly 500 kVA at 0.8 PF) depending on configuration.
Fuel Type – Natural Gas: Cleaner combustion vs. diesel, enabling lower NOₓ, CO₂ and particulate emissions, and often lower operational fuel cost.
Engine Brand – Cummins: Globally recognised for reliability, wide service network and performance in heavy‑duty power generation.
Industrial‑Grade Alternator & Control System: Designed for heavy-load conditions, dynamic response, and robust protection features.
Flexible Voltage / Frequency Options: Suitable for 50 Hz or 60 Hz systems and multiple voltage levels to match regional grid or site requirements.
Durable Skid / Open / Enclosed Options: Depending on site requirements, the unit can be supplied in open frame, containerised or sound‑attenuated enclosure format.
Low Lifecycle Cost: Natural gas fuel combined with Cummins engine efficiency leads to lower fuel consumption and longer service intervals.
Environmental Compliance & Future‑Proofing: With natural gas fuel and Cummins engine technology, this set is well positioned for stringent emissions and sustainability goals.
Applications of the 400 kW Cummins Natural Gas Generator
Industrial Facilities & Manufacturing Plants: Provide reliable main or backup power for production lines, motors and process equipment.
Commercial Buildings & Data Centres: Critical infrastructure requiring high uptime, rapid load pickup, and efficient fuel use.
Utility Support & Grid Backup: Can operate as standby power for utilities, pumping stations, telecom sites or as part of a micro‑grid.
Remote / Off‑Grid Installations: Where natural gas is available (or LNG/CNG) and transport of diesel is costly.
Green Transition Power Solutions: For companies shifting toward lower‑carbon energy sources, a natural‑gas genset serves as a transitional solution while integrating renewables.
