When a facility requires megawatt-class backup power, the generator set must deliver more than a high nameplate rating. It needs a proven engine, dependable controls, appropriate fuel capacity, strong cooling performance, and a package designed for demanding installation environments.
The new Cummins DQKAN QSK60-G19 diesel generator, listed as CSDG# 4344, is built for exactly that type of requirement. This 2026 generator set provides 2500 kW of standby power and 2250 kW of prime power in a complete, sound-attenuated package. It is scheduled to arrive with an estimated delivery date of April 15, 2027, making it a strong option for organizations planning a future data center, mining, industrial, commercial, or mission-critical power project.
Central States Diesel Generators is offering this new, zero-hour unit for $1,449,900 FOB Milwaukee, Wisconsin.

Cummins: A Trusted Name in Industrial Power
Cummins has built a global reputation for diesel engine design, power generation technology, and long-term durability. Its equipment is used in applications where reliable power is essential, including hospitals, data centers, manufacturing facilities, transportation infrastructure, mining operations, and remote industrial sites.
That reputation comes from more than brand recognition. Cummins designs and integrates major components of its power systems, including engines, alternators, digital controls, and protective equipment. This integrated approach helps simplify system engineering and supports dependable operation across standby, prime power, and continuous-duty applications.
The DQKAN platform represents Cummins’ high-capacity generator offering. At 2500 kW standby, this unit is among the largest generator sets built around the QSK60 platform. It is intended for customers who need substantial output from a single generator package or who plan to use multiple generator sets in a paralleling system.

QSK60-G19: V16 Power for Demanding Applications
At the center of this generator set is the Cummins QSK60-G19 NR2 diesel engine. The QSK60 is a large-displacement industrial engine designed for high-output power generation.
Key engine specifications include:
- Engine model: Cummins QSK60-G19 NR2
- Configuration: V16, four-cycle diesel
- Displacement: 60.2 liters
- Engine rating: 3640 HP
- Rated speed: 1800 RPM
- Emissions level: EPA Tier 2
The V16 configuration and 60.2-liter displacement provide the engine capacity needed to support a 2500 kW standby rating. This type of engine is well suited for installations that must handle large electrical loads, demanding motor starts, or critical operations during extended utility interruptions.
QSK60-powered generator sets are commonly associated with large-scale applications such as:
- Hyperscale and colocation data centers
- Hospital campuses and healthcare facilities
- Mining operations
- Heavy manufacturing
- Industrial processing plants
- Airports and transportation facilities
- Large commercial or institutional campuses
- Prime power and remote power installations
For facilities that cannot tolerate extended downtime, the QSK60-G19 provides a substantial power platform backed by Cummins’ established engineering and service network.
2500 kW Standby and 2250 kW Prime Power
The DQKAN provides two important operating ratings:
- 2500 kW standby
- 2250 kW prime
The standby rating is intended for emergency power applications when the utility source fails. The prime rating is designed for facilities or projects where the generator serves as the primary source of power for varying loads over extended operating periods.
This rating flexibility allows the generator to support different project requirements. A data center may use the DQKAN as part of an emergency standby system, while a remote industrial operation may evaluate its 2250 kW prime rating for regular power production.
The package is configured for three-phase, 60 Hz operation at 277/480 volts, a common voltage configuration for large commercial and industrial electrical systems. The generator end is oversized and rated at 2840 kW, providing additional capacity beyond the generator’s published power output.
That extra generator-end capacity can provide valuable design headroom. It may help support electrical performance, manage demanding loads, and create additional margin when engineers evaluate transient loads or future expansion. Final system design should always be reviewed by a qualified electrical engineer based on the facility’s load profile and local requirements.
Controls and Protection for System Integration
The DQKAN includes a Cummins PowerCommand 3.3 digital control panel. The control system is paralleling capable, allowing the generator to be considered for installations that use multiple generator sets operating together.
Paralleling can be useful for large facilities that need redundancy, staged capacity, maintenance flexibility, or a scalable power plant. Multiple units can be coordinated to share load, helping an installation match generator output to changing demand.
This package also includes an AmpSentry UL-listed protective relay. AmpSentry protection helps monitor generator-set electrical conditions and supports protective functions intended to help safeguard the generator and connected system.
Additional included features include:
- Permanent magnet generator, or PMG
- Alternator heater
- EnerGenius 10-amp battery charger
- Coolant heater compatible with 208/240/480 volts
- High-ambient radiator
- UL 2200 listed generator package
The high-ambient radiator is especially important for installations where elevated outdoor temperatures can affect engine cooling. As with all generator systems, site-specific conditions: including altitude, ambient temperature, ventilation, exhaust routing, and load requirements: should be considered during engineering.
Sound Attenuation and Large Fuel Capacity
This is more than an engine and alternator mounted on an open skid. The package includes a Global Power Components sound-attenuated enclosure designed to help reduce operating noise and protect the equipment from outdoor exposure.
The enclosure also provides access points for service and inspection. The available product images show the scale of this industrial package and its substantial enclosure construction.
The generator is paired with a 3750-gallon UL 142 sub-base fuel tank with secondary containment. This large tank supports extended runtime planning while helping address fuel-storage requirements for substantial emergency or prime power installations.
The fuel tank dimensions are:
- 138 inches wide
- 426 inches long
- 36 inches high
- Approximately 12,000 pounds
The enclosure and generator dimensions are:
- 142 inches wide
- 552 inches long
- 163 inches high
- Approximately 74,000 pounds
Because of the package’s size and weight, buyers should plan early for transportation, site access, foundation design, lifting or placement requirements, fuel management, and electrical installation. The unit is offered FOB Milwaukee, Wisconsin, and Central States Diesel Generators can help coordinate nationwide shipping requirements.
New, Zero-Hour Equipment with a Cummins Warranty
CSDG# 4344 is a new 2026 generator set with zero operating hours. It includes the standard Cummins two-year warranty, giving buyers manufacturer-backed coverage for an important portion of the early operating period.
The listing notes that batteries and startup are not included, so those requirements should be included in the project budget and commissioning plan. The package also does not include a circuit breaker as standard. Buyers can order an optional 3000-amp or 4000-amp circuit breaker at additional cost, depending on project requirements.
Central States Diesel Generators can help prospective buyers review the available documentation, options, and installation considerations before committing to the equipment.
Other Cummins Generator Sets Available
Although CSDG# 4344 is scheduled to arrive in 2027 and is not currently in the yard, Central States Diesel Generators also carries other Cummins industrial diesel generator sets and similar high-capacity power equipment in inventory. Select units are available for immediate purchase and ready to ship nationwide.
Because Central States Diesel Generators owns the inventory it advertises, customers can work directly with the seller rather than navigating a chain of intermediaries. That means more direct information about equipment condition, specifications, location, documentation, and availability.
