The timing of Perkins Engines' North American launch of its most powerful line of electronic engines, which delivers up to 1500-kWe emergency standby power for a range of critical applications, was striking, given the widespread power outages that afflicted Texas just weeks later. Engineered and built to provide emergency power for datacenters, hospitals and commercial buildings, the 5000 Series already has been tested for performance and durability with thousands of running hours.

“With multiple engine models offering a substantial power output of up to 1500 kWe - ideal for a 1.5 MWe generator set - every aspect of the new 5000 Series engine range, from its load acceptance capabilities to custom-created components and innovative engineering techniques, has been designed to optimize our customers' needs for quick, reliable and cost-effective power,” Americas sales director Bill Giunta said in a release.
