CASE STUDY

1,100 kVA Cummins Generator delivered
to an Industrial Facility in Western Australia

 
 

Project Overview

A major industrial operator of electrical services workshop specialising in AC/DC motor rewinds, generator overhauls, HV coil production, and testing services required a dedicated generator to provide controlled, high-capacity power for their internal test benches and diagnostic equipment. Their existing infrastructure was to be replaced by something that had the capacity and stability required to deliver consistent, high-load power for testing refurbished motors and generators, prompting the need for a dedicated, standalone generator solution.
 

Client Requirement

The client sought a Generator solution with the following key criteria:
  • Prime-rated capacity above 1,000 kVA
  • Proven engine performance and serviceability
  • Compliance with Australian standards
  • Rapid delivery and installation timeline
  • Ongoing service and support capability
