The 364kW 455kVA Cummins Industrial Generator Set C500D5 QSZ13-G5 gives factories, hospitals, commercial buildings, water treatment plants, rental fleets, telecom sites, and construction projects a 50Hz diesel generator set with 400kW standby capacity.
The 500kVA standby rating gives about 9.9% reserve above the 455kVA prime rating, helping support pump inrush, compressor starting, lift motors, UPS recharge, and recovery after transfer events.
The Cummins QSZ13-G5 inline 6-cylinder engine uses a 13.0 L displacement platform with 130 mm x 163 mm bore and stroke, giving 400kW generator buyers a compact heavy-duty engine base for reliable load acceptance.
Full-prime fuel consumption of 93.2 L/h equals about 0.256 L/kWh at 364kW, giving procurement teams a clear diesel storage and operating-cost benchmark for same-power-class generator set comparisons.
The open type generator set footprint is about 5.1 square meters, with a 3376 mm package length that supports compact plant-room installation and leaves more maintenance access around the skid.
The silent type generator set configuration at 4300 x 1900 x 2250 mm supports outdoor installation, acoustic treatment, and weather protection without moving into a containerized footprint.
PowerCommand 2.2 control with a DSE7320 MKII alternative gives project teams practical choices for automatic start, alarms, event monitoring, protection, and industrial diesel generator supervision.
Compared with typical same-power-class diesel generator sets, the C500D5 combines a Cummins 13-liter engine platform, nearly 10% standby reserve, compact open dimensions, and global Cummins service support for lower procurement and maintenance risk.
