Centum™ Series generators won gold in the Power Category of the prestigious Consulting Specifying Engineer (CSE) Product of the Year awards . With the introduction of the Centum Series, Cummins has set the new standard of power for the next 100 years.
The Centum difference
Power density and flexibility
Superior power efficiency in a smaller footprint, configured specifically for your application, to ensure you get the exact power you specify.
Alternative fuels
As part of the Cummins commitment to decarbonization and emissions reduction, the Centum Series is approved for use with paraffinic fuels (EN15940), including hydrotreated vegetable oil (HVO), which offers the potential to reduce greenhouse gas without sacrificing performance
High altitude/ Ambient capability
Centum Series generator sets deliver power dependably, even in hot and humid climates, high altitudes and aggressive environments.
Transient performance
Fast recovery from large load swings leads to less power disruption and a more stable power supply for consistent, predictable operations.
Onboard diagnostics
Cummins maximizes uptime with advanced monitoring, diagnostics and predictive analytics, which no competitor can match.
Serviceability
designed for easy service and backed by one of the most efficient distribution networks in the industry — owned, trained and operated directly by Cummins. Innovative design also reduces the costs of maintenance and replacement parts.
With a complete spectrum of power ratings from new, higher-efficiency engines, you get exactly the right power you need for your unique requirements — without compromise.
Robust configuration flexibility ensures that each Centum system will meet or exceed local emissions regulations without sacrificing performance.
Centum Series generators are engineered to meet your power needs and your budget — optimizing the specification process.
Centum efficiently delivers the power you need in a smaller footprint, lowering both installation and fuel costs. Every aspect of your Centum Series generator is a business advantage.
The Cummins commitment
The Centum Series represents much more than a new approach to power generation. It’s a new standard for the next 100 years of power. You’ll also get the rock-solid dependability Cummins is known for, encompassing the design, build, install and service by Cummins expert engineers and technicians.
Imagine this: you’ve just arrived at what appears to be the picture-perfect spot to camp. Only a few little tasks separate you from the ideal weekend out in nature. Of course, you’ve got to take care of a couple things before you can fully relax. So you set up your tent and grab some firewood. Now, your plan was never to fully “rough it,” since you prefer having things like music to listen to, som
Located in the sprawling farmland of northern Indiana, aviation business Agriflite provides aerial agriculture applications to farmers through a small fleet of planes. Especially busy during the growing season to provide crop dusting, Agriflite needs uninterrupted power to communicate with their planes and to keep business off the ground. In the year before the backup generator was installed, the
Power outages are more than just inconveniences. They can impact our safety, our comfort, and even our daily routines. Whether you’re living in an area prone to natural disasters or merely facing the occasional grid disruption, it’s wise to be prepared. Here’s a handy guide to help you navigate these challenges. How do I prepare myself for a blackout? With some foresight and planning, you ca
In 2022, Cummins Inc. proudly celebrated the opening of a new microgrid laboratory, the Power Integration Center (PIC), at their campus in Fridley, MN. The PIC is one of the largest and most configurable microgrid testing facilities in the world. Regardless of your power system needs (hypothetical or planned), this marvel of a facility is built to test those possibilities in a zero-risk environmen
Data centers require continuous operation and backup power generation in the event of a power outage. Modern diesel generators (gensets) have advanced to be some of the most fuel and energy-efficient options in the market. They are a reliable choice, require minimal maintenance, offer quick start-up times and benefit from diesel’s wide availability. Data centers are seeking cleaner powe
Data centers are the backbone of our rapidly evolving global digital economy. With the rising demand for computing power, it's increasingly important to have reliable and sustainable energy sources. Over the past few decades, data center architectures have reflected the benefits of a sufficient and reliable power grid infrastructure. Now, they incorporate on-site battery storage and backup powe
