Welcome to the era of smarter, cleaner power

NFPA 110 defines “Type” as the maximum time, in seconds, that the emergency power supply system will permit the load terminals of the transfer switch to be without acceptable power Type 10, therefore, has a 10-second time to readiness: meaning that a source of electrical power of required capacity, reliability, and quality must be provided to life safety loads within 10 seconds following loss o

In the section from Rahim Yar Khan to Ghotki, a pair of Cummins C275D5B units will serve two toll stations and lighting, and a third unit will serve the command and control center of Section 07 located at Ghotki. A pair of C700D5 units will serve the service area, which includes a fuel station, mosque, rest area, ATM and food court, with 2 x C220D5 units there on standby. In all, more than 30 unit

With the recent launch of the GILLIG Battery Electric Bus, powered by Cummins, there are more opportunities than ever before for cities and organizations to explore the switch to electric vehicles. It is new territory in many applications, including public transit, school systems, and more — but exciting developments and rapidly advancing technology promise new opportunity for transformational inn

"Watson, tell me about my doctor." "Watson, conduct a survey and record the responses for my nurse."  Visiting today’s modern hospitals could make you feel as if you are in a sci-fi movie. Robotic arms in operating rooms, beds with tracking sensors, and cognitive rooms featuring the IBM Watson platform1. In fact, a study from Aruba Networks found that healthcare is the third most adv

In rural parts of Oman where there is no connection to the grid, villages rely entirely on the local power station, where Cummins generator sets run 24/7 in continuous operation. During winter, the load on the plant is minimal as there is less cooling required. However, with summer approaching, the load will increase and power requirement will thus be critical.  With a need to upgrade the

To understand more about electric vehicles and the opportunities they present, it’s important to look at what they are and how they work. What is a fully electric vehicle? Fully electric vehicles (EVs) are powered by an electric motor instead of a conventional internal combustion engine (ICE). The drivetrain, which supplies power to the vehicle’s axles, gets power from a collection of rechar

UCEM Chimborazo is the second largest cement plant in Ecuador, currently producing around 1.6m tonnes of cement annually. When it came to fail-safe power supply for its new clinker line, Cummins was awarded the bid for this emergency power supply contract.  With two existing utilities feeding all loads, a third option capable of managing all critical loads in an emergency situation was req

Since 1919 Cummins Inc. has been a leader in innovation; from developing technologies to make diesel engines more energy and fuel efficient, to developing technologies allowing engines to be powered by natural gas, electricity and other alternative fuels, Cummins is a technology leader. Cummins was recently honored with the 2019 Large Enterprise of the Year Mira Award by TechPoint, the nonprofi

The company finished No. 27 in the magazine’s ranking, which reviews the 1,000 largest public companies in the U.S. Cummins was previously on the magazine’s list in 2012.  “U.S. corporate leadership matters more than ever to drive progress despite government gridlock around environmental and social topics like climate change,” said Dave Armon, CEO of 3BL Media, which publishes CR Maga

If that wasn’t enough of an adventure, their Clean Cruiser trip across Central America will be carbon-neutral. The two men will be driving R2.8 Cummins Turbo Diesel-powered Land Cruisers, fueled by bio-diesel. They will plant trees as they cross all seven countries in Central America to off-set their carbon impact, learning about local conservation efforts along the way.  The two icon

“It’s worth celebrating. It’s worth stopping and wondering what got us here,” Linebarger said of the 100-year milestone the company reached in February. “…But we must also look forward. We need to ask ourselves, ‘What do we need to bring with us and what do we need to change and improve upon, in order to compete for the next 100 years?’” He said Cummins anniversary theme, Challenge the Impossib

The sensitivity of loads to the power quality is often of extreme importance and plays a major role in purchasing decisions. While the utility represents a virtually infinite source of power and the impact of site loads is practically negligible, this is not the case when the supply is made from a finite source of power such as a diesel or gas genset. Understanding site loads and transient perf

Cummins engineers, using 3D printing and computerized tomography scanning, created a new water pump for the car, which will return to the Indianapolis Motor Speedway later this month after setting a one-lap track record of 139 miles per hour in qualifying for the pole position in the 1952 race.  “Without 3D printing, we would not have gotten this project done in the time frame that we had

When Cummins authorized distributor Orient Energy Systems (OES) was approached by a new customer, Ahmad Jamal Textile Mills, the customer came with a requirement of 50 kVA for their home’s power needs and 200 kVA for their manufacturing unit. After meeting with the customer, OES brought in their in-house expert to evaluate the load. The application and project engineer determined that the load in

In Milan, the new 50-story Allianz Tower required cutting-edge design along with protection against power grid blackouts. Cummins Italy was brought in during the build-out to review layout and technical data, specifying the clean and quiet C2250 D5 generator with additional accessories to set the standard.  In fact, the Cummins Italy team intricately adjusted the generator placement based on
