When it comes to industrial backup power, few options are as robust and reliable as the new Cummins DQKAN Diesel Generator. Engineered with Cummins’ legendary QSK60 power and advanced digital controls, this diesel generator sets the standard in the 2500 kW class. At Central States Diesel Generators, we not only offer the latest Cummins DQKAN model, but also maintain a wide inventory of similar new and used Cummins generators to match your business’s unique power requirements.
Powerhouse Specifications: Cummins DQKAN at a Glance
The Cummins DQKAN delivers 2500 kW standby power (2250 kW prime power) at 277/480V, 3-phase, 60Hz, making it ideal for applications where high-capacity, dependable power is a must. The core of the unit is the heavy-duty QSK60-G19 NR2 diesel engine—a V16 configuration pushing out 3,640 HP at 1,800 RPM with a 60.2-liter displacement.
Top performance features include:
- Engine: QSK60-G19 NR2 with modular common rail fuel system
- Emissions: Full EPA Tier 2 compliance
- Voltage regulation: Outstanding ±0.5% (no load to full load)
- Frequency regulation: Isochronous, ±0.25% random variation
- Enhanced motor starting with advanced alternator design
- Governor regulation: ISO 8528 Class G3 standard
Whether you require prime power for ongoing industrial operations or uninterruptible standby power, the DQKAN answers the call with authoritative performance you can count on.
Advanced Digital Controls & Monitoring
The DQKAN isn’t just brawn—it’s also packed with Cummins’ latest PowerCommand 3.3 digital controls, giving you total command over your power solutions.
Digital control and monitoring highlights:
- PowerCommand 3.3 panel with intuitive interfaces
- Paralleling capabilities for scaling multiple generator units
- AmpSentry protective relay (UL listed) for advanced safety and diagnostics
- Permanent Magnet Generator (PMG) excitation for stable power under all load conditions
- Remote monitoring for performance analytics and predictive maintenance
These features make the DQKAN just as smart as it is strong, making integration with complex facility systems a breeze. Detailed operator information can be accessed in the PowerCommand 2100 controller manual (PDF).
Built for Quiet Operation & Minimal Impact
Large generators don’t have to be loud. The sound-attenuated enclosure on the DQKAN delivers operation at just 75 dBA @ 7 meters—comparable to city traffic or a busy restaurant. This low-noise rating means you can run high-output backup or prime power even in noise-sensitive applications like healthcare, institutions, data centers, and urban commercial facilities.
Additionally, the DQKAN meets rigorous radio frequency emissions standards and features a high-ambient radiator for performance in harsh environmental conditions.
Extended Runtime & Robust Fuel System
For critical backup scenarios, runtime is essential. The Cummins DQKAN features substantial, UL-142 compliant integrated fuel tanks, available in 3750 or 3960 gallon sizes. This capacity supports approximately 24 hours of runtime at 100% load, ensuring your essential operations stay powered during extended outages.
The advanced fuel system provides:
- Secondary containment to minimize spill risk
- Multi-stage filtration for engine protection
- Real-time monitoring for proactive maintenance
Long uninterrupted operation means peace of mind, no matter how long the utility power stays out.
Reliable, Rugged, Ready for Industrial Challenge
Cummins generators are built to handle the toughest jobs—whether it’s a data center, hospital, water treatment facility, or critical infrastructure project. The DQKAN is protected with a 2-year standard Cummins warranty, and Central States Diesel Generators backs you with nationwide parts and technical support.
Reliability features include:
- EnerGenius 10-amp battery charger
