ADE Power Spider Logo Cummins Power Generation C17D5 Diesel Generator Specification

The Cummins C17D5 is a 17 kVA 3 phase 50Hz silent industrial diesel generator featuring a Cummins diesel engine & a Stamford alternator.

Cummins boast over a century of experience, clearly evidenced by this compact and robust 17 kVA diesel generator which, like many of the generators in this range, combines fast response to changing loads with low emissions in a rugged 4-cycle diesel.

Helping to deliver reliable power and provide optimum performance, versatility and reliability is the PS0600 genset controller, featuring, among many other things:

  • Relay drivers for FSO (fuel shut off) and glow plug.
  • Two configurable dry outputs and discrete inputs.
  • Integrated fuel ramping in order to limit black smoke and frequency overshoot.
  • INPOWER advanced serviceability.
  • The 17 kVA also features Cummins' optional extended service interval, with the addition of fuel filter, air filter and lubrication oil change intervals, which combined with the 165L tank makes it perfect for remote use.

The heavy duty structure provides protection from all weather, while attenuating sound (to a maximum level of 73 dB(A) at 1 metre) and guarding against theft and tampering.
