Cummins C22D5-1P Diesel Generator

The Cummins C22D5-1P is a reliable single phase diesel generator offering 17 kVA / 17 kW standby power and 15 kVA / 15 kW prime power. Designed for dependable backup and off-grid use, it combines proven Cummins engineering with robust performance for UK and global applications.

17 kVA Single Phase Generator for Standby Power

The C22D5 Single Phase generator is built for sites that need dependable emergency power without the complexity of a three phase supply. With a 17 kVA standby rating, it is well suited to protecting homes, farms, small commercial premises, workshops, telecom sites and essential services during mains power failures.

As a 17 kW diesel generator, the C22D5-1P provides practical backup power for a wide range of single phase loads, from lighting and heating systems to pumps, security equipment, refrigeration, IT hardware and operational machinery.

15 kVA Prime Power for Off-Grid Applications

For locations without a reliable mains connection, the C22D5 1 Phase generator delivers 15 kVA prime power for variable-load applications. This makes it a strong choice for remote sites, temporary facilities, agricultural operations and infrastructure projects where dependable single phase power is required for extended running periods.

The 15 kW prime power capability gives buyers a clear, practical indication of the generator’s continuous working capacity, helping ensure the unit is correctly matched to real-world electrical demand.

Cummins Engineering in a Compact Single Phase Diesel Generator

The Cummins C22D5 Single Phase is powered by a rugged 4-cycle industrial diesel engine designed for reliable performance, low emissions and fast response to load changes. Its naturally aspirated 2.5 litre engine uses direct injection, helping deliver dependable operation while keeping ownership straightforward.

The integrated radiator cooling system is designed for demanding ambient conditions, making the generator suitable for varied climates and installation environments. This is particularly valuable for buyers who need a generator that can perform consistently across changing site conditions.

Clean Power Output for Sensitive and Everyday Loads

The C22D5-1P uses a brushless, single-bearing alternator with Class H insulation and 2/3 pitch stator design. This helps support stable voltage delivery and low waveform distortion, making the generator suitable for both everyday electrical loads and more sensitive equipment.

For buyers comparing a 17 kVA diesel generator for commercial or residential backup power, electrical stability is an important consideration. The C22D5 1 Phase is designed to provide reliable output while supporting motors, lighting, appliances, control systems and site equipment.

PowerStart Control for Simple Operation and Monitoring

The C22D5 Single Phase generator is equipped with Cummins PowerStart control, a microprocessor-based system that provides straightforward operation, monitoring and protection. The controller supports manual, automatic and remote start/stop functions, helping the generator respond quickly when backup power is needed.

  • Digital metering for key generator performance data
  • Fault indication and event history for easier diagnostics
  • Remote start capability for standby installations
  • Maintenance alarms based on running time and real-time clock data
  • Auto Mains Failure functionality for automatic load transfer setups

Ideal Uses for the C22D5 1 Phase Generator

A single phase standby generator is often the right choice where the existing electrical infrastructure is single phase and the site does not require three phase power. The C22D5-1P is suitable for a broad range of domestic, commercial, agricultural and remote power applications.

  • Home backup power for larger residential properties
  • Farm backup power for essential equipment and buildings
  • Small business and retail standby power
  • Workshop and light industrial generator applications
  • Remote site power for cabins, telecoms and utilities
  • Emergency power for pumps, controls and security systems

Built for Practical Installation and Long-Term Support

The Cummins C22D5-1P is available in open and enclosed configurations, giving buyers flexibility depending on the installation environment. Optional weather-protective and sound-attenuated enclosure choices make it easier to specify the generator for outdoor use or noise-sensitive locations.

Cummins generator sets are backed by a worldwide distributor network, supporting long-term ownership with parts availability, technical expertise and service options. For buyers investing in a 17 kVA generator for standby protection, this global support network is a major advantage.
