110kVA Cummins or Perkins Diesel Generator GC100S / GP100S

The GC100S is a Cummins-powered three phase diesel generator set rated at 100kVA (80kW) prime and 110kVA (88kW) standby at 415V and 50Hz. Perkins power is offered as the GP100S; the figures here are for the Cummins GC100S. Its engine is a Cummins 6BT5.9G2, a six cylinder, 5.9 litre turbocharged diesel running at 1500rpm with an electronic governor, and the alternator is a Stamford UCI274C, brushless with AVR. A Deep Sea 7420 MKII controller and a four pole circuit breaker handle control and output.

Key features

• The silenced canopy is rated at 70.1 dB(A) at 7 m, a measured figure you can check against site noise limits.
• The 540 litre bunded tank gives about 32 hours of running at 75% load, so refuelling is infrequent.
• A heavy-duty skid base with fork pockets allows forklift handling, and the galvanised powder-coated canopy resists corrosion.
• Harmonic distortion below 5% from the Stamford alternator suits electronic equipment as well as motors.
• A battery charger and isolator keep the starting battery charged and allow it to be isolated for servicing.
• The four pole circuit breaker switches the three phases and neutral together.
• The set is custom-built in Australia and tested in-house, with a load test certificate.

At full load the engine uses 22 litres an hour, so the tank gives about 24.5 hours; at 75% load it uses 17 litres an hour and at 50% load 11. Oil capacity is 14.2 litres and coolant capacity is 29.7 litres.

What it will run

At 100kVA prime and 110kVA standby, the GC100S typically suits the site loads of a workshop, farm, pumping station or commercial building: lighting, motors, pumps, compressors and general power on three phase. Work out your largest motor's starting current from its compliance plate, and spread single phase loads across the three phases. Prime power (PRP) is continuous operation at variable load for unlimited hours a year, with an average load factor of 75% and 10% overload for 1 hour in 12. Standby power (ESP) is an emergency supply at an average load factor of 85%, with no overload capability and a limit of 400 hours a year. An electrician or engineer should assess the site loads before the set is specified. Send us your load list and we will help with sizing.

The GC100S suits industrial and commercial premises, farms, and pumping and construction sites that need three phase standby or site power.
