100 kVA Cummins generator South Africa
100 kVA Cummins diesel power configured around the real site load.
GenTech SA supplies the 100 kVA Cummins diesel generator around the confirmed Cummins G-Drive engine specification and the requirements of the application. Engine output on this page is shown using the PRP prime-power rating. Correct sizing should consider running kW, starting current, power factor, altitude, operating hours and site conditions.
Automatic mains failure & solar-ready operation
ATS / automatic changeover is included as standard for mains-failure operation. The generator can also be configured for solar-ready operation where the site control system calls the generator for load support or battery charging.
Service & technical support
GenTech SA can support supplied generator sets with scheduled servicing, repairs, fault finding and technical assistance. Parts requirements are assessed according to the specific Cummins engine and generator configuration.
Is 100 kVA the correct size?
Generator selection should be based on the real electrical load rather than kVA alone. Motors, pumps, compressors and machinery can have high starting currents, while altitude and power factor can reduce operating margin.
Canopy, alternator & custom configuration
Faraday / Werna or equivalent quality is the standard alternator configuration, with Mecc Alte and Leroy-Somer available as quoted upgrades. Sound-attenuated and project-specific enclosure arrangements can be considered according to the application.
South Africa & African export enquiries
GenTech SA welcomes Cummins-powered generator enquiries throughout South Africa and selected African export markets. Transport, off-loading and project requirements are confirmed according to generator size, destination and scope.
