GEN-SETSThe new C17D5Tgen-set for <strong>the</strong> telecoms sectorRecently showcased at Mobile World Congress, Barcelona, was <strong>the</strong> newly launched CumminsPower Generation C17D5T generator set, a unit which certainly stood out amongst a range ofprime and standby generator sets for <strong>the</strong> telecoms industry. WIP has <strong>the</strong> story.Alan Zhao, Director of Telecom andRenewable Energy, tiold WIP: “TheCummins Power Generation stand at<strong>the</strong> Mobile World Congress was <strong>the</strong> placepeople could find out about <strong>the</strong> verylatest dedicated range of gen-sets for <strong>the</strong>telecommunication sector.”He said: “Specifically, <strong>the</strong>y were able totake a close-up first look at <strong>the</strong> newC17D5T generator set and learn what ithas to offer for mobile operators today -and in <strong>the</strong> coming years.”The C17D5T Series Integrated GeneratorSet is a <strong>power</strong>ful addition to <strong>the</strong> CumminsPower Generation family of products, saidto be ideal for mobile telecommunicationsin <strong>the</strong> world’s fast-growing developingmarkets.The new diesel-engined generator setfeatures an integrated automatic transferswitch, a large fuel tank and longintervals between services, allied to aheavy-duty engine and integral radiatorcooling system.The C17D5T is suited to <strong>the</strong> needs ofmobile operators reaching new subscribersin remote areas – who are expected toaccount for <strong>the</strong> bulk of <strong>the</strong> “next billion”mobile connections according to researchby leading analyst firm Ovum.Power provision is vital to base stationsites servicing <strong>the</strong> widespread rurallocations where <strong>the</strong>se potential newsubscribers live, and aprime-<strong>power</strong> source such as<strong>the</strong> Cummins PowerGeneration C17D5T will helpoperators install basestations reliably andefficiently.The C17D5T generator setoperates at 50 Hz and hassingle phase and 3-phaserating of 17 kVA standby, 15kVA prime. Reliability isensured by a rugged, 4-cycleindustrial engine whichfeatures low emissions and afast response to loadchanges.Cooling is provided by astandard integral radiatorsystem, designed and testedfor rated ambienttemperatures – making itsimpler to design generator setsinstallations to meet requirements forrejected heat.Generation PowerCommand® 1.1, whichprovides total generator set systemintegration, including automatic remotestarting and stopping, plus alarms andstatus message display.The C17D5T generator set is equippedwith integrated automatic transfer switch(ATS), a 1,000 litre fuel tank and can runfor 1,000 hours between servicing,including lube oil and air filter changes.The wea<strong>the</strong>r-protected, sound-attenuatedenclosure, coupled with robust structuralstrength and pilferage-protected lockablefuel tank, make <strong>the</strong> C17D5T a practicaland efficient choice for remote areas indeveloping regions.Alan Zhao says: “The growth inrequirement for prime <strong>power</strong> is a keytrend in <strong>the</strong> telecoms industry today, and<strong>the</strong> C17D5T generator set is an excellentprime <strong>power</strong> solution. It is ideally suitedfor environments in Asia, Africa, MiddleEast and parts of Eastern Europe and LatinAmerica where <strong>the</strong> telecoms operatorssee <strong>the</strong>ir best mobile growth prospects.”He concludes: “Mobile base stations in<strong>the</strong>se regions are often far from adependable grid supply. The integratedATS makes it easy for installation and willreduce installation time significantly. Thequality and reliability of <strong>the</strong> dieselgenerator sets in <strong>the</strong>se locations arecritical.”The C17D5T is <strong>the</strong> latest member of aline of Cummins Power Generationproducts - <strong>the</strong> range covers 8 kVA to 3,500kVA for both 50Hz and 60Hz markets.WIPInternet linkwww.cumminsengines.com22M ARCH 2012 • WORLDWIDE I NDEPENDENT P OWER
