55kVA Cummins Diesel Generator C55D5LC-2

The C55D5LC-2 is a stationary Cummins diesel generator set with an output of 55kVA (44kW). Its engine is a Cummins S3.8G6.

Key features

• Output is stated in both units: 44kW is the real power the set can supply to the load, 55kVA is the apparent power, and the ratio is a power factor of 0.8.
• As a stationary set it is intended for a fixed position on site, which suits permanent standby duty.

What it will run

Begin with the load: add up everything that runs at the same time, then allow for the starting surge of the largest motor, which typically draws several times its running current. Keep the combined running load inside the 44kW output, and confirm the set can start your biggest motor. Match the set's phase and voltage to your equipment, and spread any three phase load evenly across the phases. A set in this class typically covers the essential circuits of a workshop, a pumping or irrigation system, cold rooms or a small commercial premises. Check each appliance's compliance plate for its rating. Connection to a building's wiring must go through a changeover switch installed by a licensed electrician. Send us your load list and we will help you size the set.

The C55D5LC-2 suits commercial premises, light industrial sites, workshops, farms, pumping stations and cold storage that need standby power.
