KTA50 Cummins Diesel Generator

Overall, Cummins KTA50 diesel generator with high power, strong performance and high reliability is a suitable choice for power supply in industrial and commercial environments.

Control System – PCC2100 

The PowerCommand™ 2100 Control is a microprocessor-based generator set monitoring, and control system. The control provides an operator interface to the genset, digital voltage regulation, digital governing and generator set protective functions. 

The PowerCommand™ 2100 generator set control is suitable for use on a wide range of generator sets in nonparalleling applications. 

The PowerCommand™ Control can be configured for any frequency, voltage and power connection configuration from 120 to 600VAC for for 50Hz or 60Hz operation. 

Power for the control is derived from the generator set starting batteries. The control functions over a voltage range from 8VDC to 35VDC.

Major Features 

• 12 or 24 VDC Battery Operation. 
• Digital Engine Speed Governing (optional) to provide isochronous frequency regulation. 
• Digital Voltage Regulation with 3-phase sensing. 
• AmpSentry™ Protection for true alternator overcurrent protection. 
• Digital AC Output Metering with Optional Analog Metering. 
• Battery Monitoring System to sense and warn against a weak battery condition. 
• Digital Alarm and Status Message Display. 
• Generator set Monitoring: Displays status of all critical engine and alternator generator set functions. 
• Smart Starting Control System: Integrated fuel ramping to limit black smoke and frequency overshoot.

Control System

Includes all functions to locally or remotely start and stop, and protect the generator set.
