Cummins C175D6D 175kW Agriculture Diesel Generator 120/240V 1-Phase | A061T476

Cummins C175D6D 175kW Agricultural Diesel Generator

Protect essential farm operations during utility outages with the Cummins C175D6D 175kW Agricultural Diesel Generator. Cummins part number A061T476 is a factory-configured agricultural standby generator designed for farms, dairy facilities, poultry houses, livestock operations, irrigation systems, grain facilities, greenhouses, agricultural refrigeration and other applications requiring dependable 120/240-volt single-phase backup power.

This heavy-duty farm generator delivers 175kW of emergency standby power at 120/240V single phase. It combines a Cummins QSB7-G5 industrial diesel engine, brushless four-pole alternator, PowerCommand 1.1 electronic controls and an 800-amp main circuit breaker in an open-skid agricultural configuration.

175kW Standby Power for Agricultural Operations

Modern agricultural facilities rely on electricity for ventilation, refrigeration, irrigation, milking systems, feeding equipment, grain handling, water pumps, lighting and environmental controls. A utility outage can quickly place livestock, crops, stored products and daily production at risk.

The Cummins C175D6D is designed to provide dependable emergency power and fast response as electrical loads change. Its high-capacity 120/240V single-phase output is suitable for larger farms and rural facilities with substantial single-phase electrical services.

When paired with a properly selected automatic transfer switch, the generator can automatically start after a utility-power failure and supply approved farm loads until utility service returns.

Cummins QSB7-G5 Industrial Diesel Engine

The C175D6D agricultural generator is powered by the Cummins QSB7-G5, a rugged 6.69-liter, four-cycle industrial diesel engine engineered for stationary power-generation applications.

The engine uses turbocharging and charge-air cooling to provide dependable power and rapid response when agricultural loads start or change. Its 1,800 RPM operating speed is designed for stationary standby-generator service.

Heavy-duty cast-iron construction, liquid cooling, a spin-on oil filter and an engine-driven battery-charging alternator support dependable emergency operation when the generator is correctly installed and maintained.

PowerCommand 1.1 Electronic Control System

The integrated Cummins PowerCommand 1.1 control system coordinates the generator engine, alternator and protective functions. It supports automatic operation when connected to compatible transfer equipment and provides generator monitoring, voltage regulation, frequency regulation, fault protection and system diagnostics.

PowerCommand Control Features

• Automatic remote starting and stopping
• Precise voltage regulation
• Precise frequency regulation
• Generator output metering
• Engine and generator status monitoring
• Alarm and operating-status display
• Automatic shutdown when qualifying faults are detected
• Integrated generator protection
• Industry-leading self-diagnostic capabilities
• NFPA 110 Level 1 control functionality
• Programmable exercise scheduling

Battle Short Mode

Battle Short Mode allows selected generator-protection shutdowns to be overridden when maintaining electrical power is considered more important than protecting the generator from possible damage.

This capability may be valuable during an agricultural emergency where the immediate loss of ventilation, refrigeration, water pumps, feeding systems or environmental controls could threaten livestock, crops or stored products.

Battle Short Mode must only be used by qualified personnel and in accordance with Cummins operating instructions.

Flexible Generator Exercise Scheduling

Routine generator exercise helps verify that the engine, starting system, alternator and controls are prepared for a utility outage. PowerCommand flexible exercise scheduling allows the operating time, frequency and duration to be programmed around the needs of the agricultural facility.

A properly planned exercise schedule can help reduce unnecessary diesel consumption, noise and emissions while keeping the generator ready for emergency operation.

Brushless Alternator Performance

The Cummins alternator uses a brushless, four-pole revolving-field design with low-reactance 2/3-pitch windings. This configuration helps provide stable voltage, low waveform distortion and dependable motor-starting performance for demanding agricultural loads.

Alternator Features

• Brushless four-pole design
• Drip-proof revolving field
• Low-reactance 2/3-pitch windings
• Direct-coupled rotor
• Automatic voltage regulation
• Less than 5% total harmonic distortion
• Short-circuit fault-clearing capability
• Selectable motor-starting capability
• Direct-drive centrifugal cooling blower
• Full single-phase output at the generator's standby rating

High-Ambient Cooling System

The standard generator cooling package is designed to support operation in ambient temperatures up to 50°C or 122°F under applicable Cummins operating and derating conditions.

Proper installation must provide adequate combustion air, radiator airflow and discharge ventilation. Agricultural dust, debris and restricted airflow can reduce cooling performance and should be addressed during site design.

Coolant heaters are included with the agricultural configuration to help support reliable cold-weather starting when correctly powered and installed.

Common Agricultural Applications

• Dairy farms and automated milking systems
• Poultry houses and ventilation equipment
• Livestock barns and environmental controls
• Automated feeding and watering equipment
• Irrigation pumps and agricultural wells
• Greenhouses and climate-control systems
• Grain elevators and material-handling systems
• Grain drying and storage facilities
• Produce refrigeration and cold storage
• Farm shops and equipment buildings
• Agricultural processing equipment
• Large rural properties with single-phase service
• Emergency power for critical farm infrastructure

Motor Starting and Generator Sizing

Agricultural facilities commonly operate irrigation pumps, ventilation fans, refrigeration compressors, augers, conveyors and other electric motors that can draw substantially more current during startup than during normal operation.

Generator selection should not be based only on total running wattage. A proper analysis should consider motor horsepower, locked-rotor current, starting method, voltage drop, load sequencing, simultaneous operation, elevation, ambient temperature and possible future expansion.

A qualified generator professional or electrical engineer should complete a detailed load and motor-starting analysis before the generator is ordered.

Open-Skid Agricultural Configuration

Cummins A061T476 does not include a weather-protective or sound-attenuated enclosure. The engine, radiator, alternator, controls and other generator components remain exposed on the open structural skid.

The generator must be installed inside a properly designed generator room, agricultural equipment building or compatible separately purchased enclosure. The installation must provide adequate ventilation, combustion air, radiator discharge, weather protection, exhaust routing, service access and protection from unauthorized personnel.

Do not order this model expecting an enclosed outdoor generator. Cummins and distributor images may show optional equipment or representative configurations that are not included with A061T476.

No Diesel Fuel Tank Included

This generator does not include an onboard, belly-mounted or sub-base diesel fuel tank. A properly sized external diesel fuel tank or compatible separately purchased sub-base tank must be provided as part of the installation.

The fuel system should account for the desired emergency runtime, fuel consumption, supply and return piping, maximum fuel lift, filtration, containment, fuel quality and applicable fire and environmental regulations.

Automatic Transfer Switch Not Included

An automatic transfer switch is not included. Approved transfer equipment is required for automatic backup of a building or electrical service.

The transfer switch must match the farm's 120/240V single-phase service, required amperage, service-entrance arrangement and applicable electrical codes. An 800-amp transfer switch or a separately engineered load-distribution and load-management system may be required, depending on the installation.

Never connect the generator directly to utility-supplied wiring without approved transfer equipment.

Starting Batteries Required

The Cummins C175D6D agricultural generator requires two 12-volt starting batteries rated at approximately 850 cold-cranking amps each.

Starting batteries are not included. Battery cables and an external battery charger are also not included unless specifically listed on the final sales order.
