The Cummins ATS Generator Set integrates a heavy-duty Cummins diesel engine with a factory-matched Automatic Transfer Switch (ATS) to deliver seamless backup power during grid anomalies. Engineered for continuous standby and prime power applications, the system monitors utility voltage in real-time, initiates engine start within seconds, and executes automated load transfer without manual intervention. Built specifically for critical facilities requiring zero tolerance for power downtime, such as data centers, healthcare units, and industrial manufacturing plants.
Key Features
Factory-Integrated Architecture: Pre-mounted and wired ATS eliminates field-wiring discrepancies, reduces installation time, and minimizes overall footprint.
Rapid Response Cycle: Utility power failure is detected within 3 cycles; total engine startup and load transfer complete in under 10 seconds.
Digital PowerCommand® Control: Microprocessor-based control platform centrally manages engine protection, real-time monitoring, and transfer logic.
Heavy-Duty Weather Enclosure: Galvanized, powder-coated steel housing designed to withstand harsh ambient temperatures from -20°C to 50°C while maintaining noise suppression.
Global Compliance Standards: Manufactured in accordance with UL 1008 (Transfer Switch Equipment) and ISO 8528 (Reciprocating internal combustion engine driven generating sets).

Quality Control & Manufacturing Capabilities
Production is executed within our ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 certified manufacturing facility.
Fabrication & Assembly: Automated laser cutting and CNC precision bending for enclosure construction; computerized torque verification on all engine-alternator couplings.
Factory Acceptance Testing (FAT): Every unit undergoes a rigorous 2-hour full-load bank test at 0.8 power factor, validating transient response, voltage regulation, and ATS switching cycles.
Traceability: Serial numbers are permanently laser-etched onto engine blocks, alternators, and ATS panels to ensure complete material traceability and verification via official Cummins service portals.
Packaging & Shipping
Structural Protection: Units are securely bolted to heavy-duty structural steel skids, wrapped in VCI anti-corrosion film, and sealed inside moisture-barrier protective covers.
Transport Readiness: Handled via certified crane lifting lugs; securely braced inside 40ft High Cube containers or loaded onto flatrack trailers for international breakbulk shipping.
Documentation Handover: Bill of Lading, Packing List, Certificate of Origin, Factory Load Test Reports, and comprehensive English Operation & Maintenance Manuals.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Are the integrated engines authentic Cummins units?
A: Yes. All generator sets utilize genuine Cummins diesel engines sourced through authorized channels, featuring original factory serial numbers verifiable through official Cummins service platforms.
Q: What is the standard production lead time?
A: Standard configurations ranging from 100 kW to 500 kW typically ship within 3 to 4 weeks. Custom containerized or high-capacity systems require 6 to 8 weeks.
Q: Does the ATS support open or closed transition modes?
A: Both configurations are available. Open transition is standard for most commercial uses; closed transition (overlap < 100 ms) is supplied for facilities that cannot tolerate momentary power drops during re-transfer.
Q: What standard warranty terms apply?
A: Standard coverage spans 12 months or 1,000 operating hours from initial commissioning, or 18 months from shipment date-whichever occurs first. Extended warranty plans up to 5 years are available.
Q: Can the generator integrate with existing facility management systems?
A: Yes. The PowerCommand controller natively supports Modbus RTU, Modbus TCP/IP, and BACnet protocols for direct integration into plant SCADA or Building Management Systems (BMS).
Q: What paperwork is provided to assist with local electrical inspections?
A: Every unit ships with complete electrical schematic drawings, UL/CE compliance certificates, factory load test reports, and component specifications required for local permitting and inspection.
