RATING GUIDELINES: (kWm = BHP x 0.746)

Standby Power Rating is applicable for supplying emergency power
for the duration of the utility power outage. No overload capability is
available for this rating. Under no condition is an engine allowed to operate
in parallel with the public utility at the Standby Power rating.
Prime Power Rating is applicable for supplying electric power in lieu of
commercially purchased power. Prime Power is the maximum power
available at variable load for an unlimited number of hours. A 10% overload
capability is available. See the engine performance data sheet for specific
application power rating details.
OPERATION at ELEVATED TEMPERATURE and ALTITUDE:
The engine may be operated at:
1800 RPM up to:
5000 ft. [1525 m] and 104 F [40 C] without power deration.
1500 RPM up to:
2000 ft. [610 m] and 104 F [40 C] without power deration.
For sustained operation above these conditions derate by:
4% per 1,000 ft. [300 m] and 1% per 10 F [2% per 11 C].
PERFORMANCE:
Standard Conditions:
Data Shown Above Are Based On:
Engine operating with fuel system, water pump, lubricating oil pump, air
cleaner and exhaust silencer; not included are battery charging alternator,
fan and optional driven components.
Engine operating with diesel fuel corresponding to grade No. 2D per ASTM
D975.
ISO-3046, Part 1, Standard Reference Conditions of: 29.53 in. Hg. [100
kPa] barometric pressure (361 ft. [110m] altitude), 77 F [25 C] air
temperature and a relative humidity of 30%.
NOTES:
For Continuous Power or Base Power, Interruptible Power (Utility Power
Curtailment) and Peak Shaving, contact the local Cummins representative.
Cummins Engine Company recommends that Cummins engines be
operated at a minimum load of 30% of their respective Standby Power
rating.

DESIGN FEATURES AVAILABLE EQUIPMENT

Cast Iron Skirted Block: With main bearing supports between
each cylinder, for maximum strength and rigidity, low weight, and
optimum crankshaft support.
Compact Size: For ease of installation and easy access for
routine maintenance.
Direct Fuel Injection System: With high swirl intake ports for
thorough mixing of air and fuel to provide low fuel consumption.
Fewer Parts: For less inventory and faster maintenance and
repair. Parts simplicity also enables engines to be serviced and
repaired with ordinary hand tools.
Forged Steel Crankshaft: With integral counterweights, allowing
high power output from a compact size.
Forged Steel, I-Beam Cross Section Connecting Rods: With
angle split cap-to-rod interface and capscrew attachment for
maximum structural strength and ease of service.
Side Mounted Gear Driven Camshaft: For low engine height and
minimum maintenance.
Single Belt Fan, Alternator, and Water Pump Drive: With self-
tensioning idler for minimum belt maintenance.
Single Piece Cross Flow Cylinder Head: For short length and
maximum structural stiffness of the block/head assembly.
Turbocharger: Holset exhaust gas driven turbocharger mounted
at top of engine. Turbocharging provides increased power,
improved fuel economy, altitude compensation, and lower
smoke and noise levels.
