roblems with a for a bank's data centre operations can potentially mean losses involving millions of dollars. In June 2022 Cummins Kuwait delivered power backup in the form of a a 1500 kW diesel genset, tier 3, for the primary data centre facility of a leading Islamic bank. The data centre featured an installed capacity of 100 IT racks and bears an IT load of 680 kW. The capabilities of Kuwait sales team, Application Engineering, and Project Execution teams made this complex project successful that posed unique transportation and installation challenges. According to the manufacturer, choosing the right power level is important, and a Cummins generator is no different. They range in power from 35kW to 2,500kW, but selecting the correct power of 1500 kW for the application is important, too. Overpowering any unit has its drawbacks, such as sacrificing efficiency. In general, Cummins Generator diesel most machines run best when they are between fifty and seventy-five percent of their rated capacity. Below this, however, you can compromise efficiency and cause fuel costs to skyrocket.
