QSX15-G6
Cummins

The Cummins QSX15-G6 is a heavy-duty, 15-liter diesel engine engineered specifically for demanding generator drive (G-Drive) applications. As part of the globally proven QSX15 series, this engine is built to deliver exceptional reliability, superior fuel efficiency, and robust performance for mission-critical prime, standby, and continuous power systems. Engineered with advanced emissions technology, it provides a dependable power solution for a wide range of industrial and commercial facilities.
| Feature | Specification |
|---|---|
| Engine Model | Cummins QSX15-G6 (G-Drive Series) |
| Configuration | In-line 6 Cylinder, 4-Stroke Diesel |
| Displacement | 15.0 Liters |
| Aspiration | Turbocharged & Aftercooled |
| Fuel System | Cummins XPI (Xtra-High Pressure Injection) Common Rail |
| Governor | Electronic for precise frequency control |
| Emissions Compliance | Meets global standards (e.g., EPA Tier 2/Tier 4 Interim equivalent for specific markets) |
| Key Feature | Optimized for 50 Hz / 60 Hz power generation |
The QSX15-G6 is designed exclusively as the prime mover for industrial and commercial diesel generator sets. Its primary applications include:
Critical Facility Standby Power: Provides reliable backup power for data centers, hospitals, telecommunications hubs, and financial institutions.
Prime & Continuous Power: Serves as the main power source for mining operations, oil & gas facilities, manufacturing plants, and remote construction sites.
Utility & Large Commercial Power: Used in peak shaving, grid support, and large commercial complexes requiring high-capacity, dependable power.
1. Advanced XPI (Xtra-High Pressure Injection) Fuel System
The engine utilizes the Cummins XPI high-pressure common rail fuel system. This technology enables precise, high-pressure fuel injection, ensuring optimal combustion for maximum fuel efficiency, low emissions, and stable operation under variable load conditions—critical for power generation quality.
2. Integrated Engine and Generator Design
As a dedicated G-Drive engine, it is designed for seamless integration with generator ends. Features include a precise electronic governor for superior frequency and voltage regulation (typically within ±0.25% steady-state frequency droop) and robust mounting systems to ensure reliable performance.
3. Durable Construction for Maximum Uptime
Built on the rugged QSX15 platform, it incorporates heavy-duty components like a forged steel crankshaft and a rigid cylinder block. This robust construction is engineered for long service life, extended maintenance intervals, and reliable operation in harsh environmental conditions.
