Cummins is a well-known maker of quality diesel engines. By mixing traits like power, reliability, and smart design, their products have allowed users to get engines that are both robust and dependable. The QSK19 is an example of this. This heavy-duty diesel engine has a rugged 4-cycle design that provides a mix of power and speed.
The unit has a number of notable features which help provide it with protection against overheating or diminished performance during intense, varied operations. One of these is the alternator, which is available in several different sizes to provide selectable motor starting capabilities with low waveform distortion at non-linear loads. This component also offers fault clearing short-circuit capability.
Another noteworthy component of this unit is the permanent magnet generator. The PMG, like the alternator, allows for fault clearing short-circuit capability as well as enhanced starting capabilities.
While heavy-duty engines are designed to be both powerful and versatile, one issue they are sometimes prone to is overheating. The QSK19 comes equipped with a variety of high-end components, and one is the cooling system. This allows for automatic starting and stopping as well as precise regulation of voltage. The AmpSentry protection and alarm/display system allow users to know if their engine is experiencing any issues.
Weather issues can also sometimes pose a problem for certain engines. This model comes with an optional enclosure to help deal with this issue. Another enclosure can also be purchased in order to help decrease the sound associated with this unit.
The QSK19 is also designed to accept full rated load in a single step per NFPA 110 for level 1 systems. This product combines a number of popular features to achieve a balanced performance that compensates for the possibility of common engine problems.
