Cummins Power Generation Earns OSHPD Preapproval for Seismic Certification in California

First manufacturer to have complete emergency power system — generator sets, transfer switches, controls — preapproved by state agency

Cummins Power Generation's high range generator sets have been added to the list of products meeting the rigorous standards for preapproved seismic certification by OSHPD, California's Office of Statewide Health Planning and Development.

The company's low range generator sets, from 10 kW -- 230 kW, were preapproved earlier this year, along with PowerCommand® automatic transfer switches (ATS) and digital master controllers (DMC). The high range generator sets, from 250 kW -- 2500 kW, are now also preapproved, making Cummins Power Generation the first company with the ability to supply an entire preapproved emergency power system of any size for hospitals in California. Cummins Power Generation can supply the listed products to healthcare facilities without having to shake-test the actual units being delivered. That means faster installation and commissioning, reducing time and costs.

The generator preapproval covers configurations with a generator set only, generator and sub-base fuel tank, and generator with fuel tank and enclosure.

"We are delighted with the preapproved status of our complete line of generator sets," said Claire Roper, director, Commercial Generator Set Sales, North America. "Currently, we are the only manufacturer able to provide a full range of generator sets, automatic transfer switches and digital master controllers, all with OSHPD preapproval."
