Cummins Onan Standby Generators
Cummins is a trusted name in power generation, and standby generators are not any exception. Home standby units for emergency power include the 20-kilowatt and 13-kilowatt air-cooled models, as well as the 20 kilowatt liquid-cooled machines.
Cummins Power Generation combines their residential standby generators with some other automatic transfer switches to offer the requirements of most home standby customers with utility-quality power that meets the requirements of perhaps the most sensitive of electronics. The generators feature a 5-year, 2000 hour limited consumer warranty.
Cold Weather Equipment
Cummins recommends incorporating cold-weather accessories to use in climates where temperatures drop to zero degrees Fahrenheit or lower.
A breather heater warms the engine breather tube to stop ice build up during cold temperatures. It plugs into a cold weather kit (available separately) or into any winter equipped generator. The breather heater is recommended for usage in environments where temperatures drop below zero.
The battery blanket warmer is really a flexible heater that wraps round the battery it warm when temperatures drop below -10 degrees. An outside 120-volt outlet is necessary to connect the heater.
Winter kits include an engine oil heater plus an alternator dryer. The engine oil heater allows easier starting by keeping the oil warm and fluid, and allows the lubrication system to provide oil faster as soon as the engine starts. Alternator dryers keep frost from accumulating for the alternator.
