When you need serious industrial power that won’t let you down, the Cummins DFLE KTA50-G9 diesel generator stands out as one of the most reliable workhorses in the business. At Central States Diesel Generators, we’ve got these proven powerhouses in stock and ready to ship, giving you the industrial-grade performance you need without the wait time or the new equipment price tag.

Why Cummins Dominates the Generator Game

Cummins isn’t just another name in the power generation world – they’re the name. With over a century of experience, Cummins has built a reputation that speaks for itself. From construction sites in Alaska to manufacturing plants in Texas, Cummins generators keep the lights on when it matters most.

The company’s global reach means parts and service support are available virtually everywhere. When you invest in a Cummins generator, you’re not just buying equipment – you’re buying into a support network that spans continents. That’s peace of mind you can’t put a price on.

Technical Powerhouse: DFLE KTA50-G9 Specifications

Let’s talk numbers, because with industrial generators, specifications matter. The DFLE KTA50-G9 doesn’t mess around when it comes to performance:

Engine Performance:

  • Cummins KTA50-G9 engine: 16-cylinder, 60-degree V-configuration
  • Power Output: 2,220 horsepower at 1,800 RPM
  • Displacement: Massive 50.3-liter capacity
  • Compression Ratio: 13.9:1 for optimal efficiency
  • Aspiration: Turbocharged and low-temperature aftercooled

Electrical Specifications:

  • Standby Power: 1,500 kW
  • Prime Power: 1,250 kW
  • Frequency: 60 Hz
  • Voltage: Three-phase 277/480V
  • Main Breaker: 2,000 Amp capacity
  • Generator Type: Permanent magnet generator (PMG) for superior voltage stability

The permanent magnet generator feature is particularly impressive – it delivers cleaner, more stable power that protects sensitive electronics and reduces the risk of voltage fluctuations that can damage equipment.

Fuel Efficiency That Makes Sense

One thing that surprises people about the KTA50-G9 is how efficient it actually is for such a large generator. Here’s what you can expect:

  • Quarter Load: 32.8 gallons per hour
  • Full Load: 103.6 gallons per hour
  • Standby Operation: Approximately 29.2 gallons per hour

With the standard 1,200-gallon sub-base fuel tank (with secondary containment), you’re looking at extended runtime capability that keeps your operations running when the grid goes down.

Built for the Long Haul

The physical construction of these generators reflects Cummins’ commitment to durability. We’re talking about units that measure approximately:

  • Width: 132 inches
  • Length: 358 inches
  • Height: 130 inches
  • Weight: 40,000 pounds

These aren’t lightweight portable units – they’re serious industrial equipment built to handle continuous operation in demanding environments. The drop-over sound enclosure keeps noise levels manageable, which is crucial for installations where sound ordinances matter.

Why Choose Used Over New?

Here’s the thing about industrial generators like the DFLE KTA50-G9 – they’re built to last decades, not years. When you buy a quality used unit with low hours, you’re getting essentially the same performance as new equipment at a fraction of the cost.

Take our current inventory, for example. We have a 2001 model with only 179 hours of operation. That’s practically brand new in generator terms. This unit has passed load testing and received recent PM service, meaning it’s ready to go to work immediately.

At $159,900, this generator offers incredible value compared to new equipment that could easily cost twice as much. You get proven Cummins reliability, immediate availability, and significant cost savings – it’s a win-win situation.

Perfect Applications for the KTA50-G9

This generator isn’t overkill – it’s exactly what you need for:

Manufacturing Facilities: Keep production lines running during outages
Data Centers: Ensure uninterrupted power for critical IT infrastructure
Hospitals: Provide life-saving backup power for medical equipment
Large Commercial Buildings: Power entire office complexes or retail centers
Industrial Operations: Support heavy machinery and equipment

The 1,500 kW standby capacity means you can power substantial electrical loads without worrying about capacity limitations. Whether you need prime power or backup power, this generator delivers.
