When a facility requires serious standby or prime power capacity, the generator set must provide more than a high nameplate rating. It must offer proven engineering, dependable controls, cooling capacity, serviceability, and enough electrical headroom to perform confidently under demanding conditions.
Central States Diesel Generators’ CSDG# 5027 is a rare opportunity to secure that level of capability in a new, 0-hour Cummins DQKAN 2500 kW diesel generator. Built around the high-output Cummins QSK60-G19 NR2 engine, this 2022 generator set is designed for applications where power continuity is essential: including hyperscale data centers, mining operations, manufacturing facilities, and other mission-critical sites.
The unit is available for $749,900 FOB Waukesha, Wisconsin, with parts-only Cummins warranty coverage through March 2029 and an option to upgrade the warranty to include parts, labor, and travel.

Cummins: A Global Name in Industrial Power
Cummins has built a strong global reputation for designing and manufacturing engines and power systems for demanding commercial, industrial, and infrastructure applications. Its equipment is widely recognized for durable construction, high-output performance, and an extensive support ecosystem.
For businesses purchasing a large diesel generator, brand reputation matters. A generator is not simply a piece of equipment that runs during an occasional outage. It can be a critical part of a facility’s operational continuity plan, supporting sensitive electrical loads, production systems, communications infrastructure, security systems, and life-safety equipment.
Cummins’ approach combines heavy-duty engine platforms with integrated generator controls and electrical protection systems. This allows customers to specify a complete power solution around a recognized manufacturer rather than assembling unrelated components from multiple sources.
The QSK60 series represents one of Cummins’ highest-capacity industrial engine platforms. It has earned a reputation for providing the high horsepower and durability necessary for large-scale power generation and other severe-duty applications.
The QSK60-G19 NR2: V16 Power for Large-Scale Applications
At the heart of this DQKAN package is the Cummins QSK60-G19 NR2 diesel engine. The QSK60-G19 is a V16 engine with 60.2 liters of displacement, engineered to produce substantial power at the standard 1800 RPM operating speed for 60 Hz generation.
Key engine specifications include:
- Engine: Cummins QSK60-G19 NR2
- Configuration: V16
- Displacement: 60.2 liters
- Rated engine output: 3,640 HP
- Rated speed: 1,800 RPM
- Emissions: EPA Tier 2
- Fuel: Diesel
As the top end of the QSK60 series line, the QSK60-G19 is built for applications that require large amounts of power from a single engine-generator package. Its V16 layout and large displacement provide the output needed to support substantial electrical loads, while its heavy-duty construction is suited to continuous, standby, and prime-power environments.
This makes the engine a strong fit for hyperscale data centers, where backup systems must support extensive IT loads and cooling infrastructure; mining operations, where remote or isolated sites may depend on prime power; and mission-critical facilities, where even a short interruption can create significant operational, financial, or safety consequences.
The QSK60-G19 also gives this generator substantial reserve capability beyond the electrical output of the set itself. That reserve is important when the generator must handle motor starting, large load steps, non-linear loads, or future facility expansion.
2500 kW Standby and 2250 kW Prime Power
The DQKAN package is rated for:
- 2,500 kW standby power
- 2,250 kW prime power
- 277/480-volt, three-phase output
- 60 Hz operation
A 2,500 kW standby diesel generator is among the largest generator sets in the QSK60 family, delivering massive power in a single package. The standby rating is intended for emergency applications when utility power fails. The 2,250 kW prime rating is designed for applications where the generator operates as a primary or continuous power source under defined load conditions.
The difference between standby and prime ratings is important when planning a power system. Facilities that expect extended operating hours, variable loads, or regular generator operation should evaluate the prime-power rating and operating profile rather than relying only on the larger standby number.
This package also features an oversized generator end rated at 3,244 kW. That additional capacity provides greater electrical headroom and can help support demanding loads with a more substantial safety margin. The generator end is also equipped with a PMG, or permanent magnet generator, which supports excitation performance and helps the alternator respond effectively to changing electrical demands.
Controls and Protection for Modern Power Systems
The DQKAN includes a Cummins PowerCommand 3.3 digital control panel. The PowerCommand platform is designed to provide monitoring, control, diagnostics, and generator-set protection in one integrated system.
This control package is paralleling capable, allowing the generator to be integrated into a system with additional generator sets when the project requires increased capacity, redundancy, or load-sharing capability. Paralleling can be especially valuable for data centers, industrial plants, hospitals, and other facilities that require scalable or N+1 power architectures.
The package also includes an AmpSentry UL-listed protective relay. Proper protective relaying is essential for helping safeguard the generator and connected electrical system from abnormal operating conditions.
Additional equipment includes:
- Alternator heater
- EnerGenius 10-amp battery charger
- Coolant heater with 208/240/480-volt capability
- High-ambient radiator
- Engine-driven radiator
- UL 2200 listed package
The high-ambient radiator is particularly relevant for installations where elevated temperatures can affect engine cooling and generator performance. Final application suitability should always be confirmed by the project’s electrical and mechanical engineers, including site altitude, ambient temperature, ventilation, fuel system, load profile, and installation requirements.
New, Zero-Hour Condition with Warranty Coverage
One of the most significant advantages of CSDG# 5027 is its condition. This is a new 2022 generator set with 0 hours, not a previously operated unit with an unknown service history.
The package includes Cummins parts-only warranty coverage through March 2029. For buyers requiring broader protection, the warranty can be upgraded at additional cost to include parts, labor, and travel.
Warranty terms, eligibility, installation requirements, and upgrade pricing should be confirmed with Central States Diesel Generators before purchase. Even so, the combination of a new, zero-hour machine and extended warranty coverage offers an important advantage for organizations seeking to reduce equipment-risk exposure.

How It Compares with the Used DQKC 2000 kW Generator
Central States Diesel Generators also offers the used Cummins DQKC 2000 kW generator, CSDG# 5092. That unit is a compelling lower-cost option, with 406 hours, a QSK60-G6 engine, 2,000 kW standby output, and EPA Tier 1 emissions.
However, the two packages serve different purchasing priorities.
The DQKC CSDG# 5092 is a used 2000 kW generator intended for buyers prioritizing value and proven operating history. The DQKAN CSDG# 5027 is a larger and newer package, offering 2,500 kW standby power, a QSK60-G19 NR2 engine, EPA Tier 2 emissions, 0 hours, an oversized 3,244 kW generator end, and warranty coverage through March 2029.
