Power Adjustments for Altitude and Temperature: Considerations When Choosing Your Generator

When purchasing a generator set, it’s essential to account for environmental factors such as altitude and temperature, which can impact engine performance. For instance, DCEC Cummins has conducted tests in high-altitude areas of China, providing valuable power correction data that can help guide your decision.

Altitude Power Correction for DCEC Cummins Engines

• Up to 2,000 meters: No power correction needed.
• Above 2,000 meters: Power decreases by 4% for every additional 300 meters.

Temperature Power Correction for DCEC Cummins Engines

• Up to 40°C: No power correction needed.
• Above 40°C: Power decreases by 3% for every additional 10°C.

These guidelines are specific to DCEC Cummins engines. For other brands, power corrections may vary. Always verify power adjustments with your supplier based on your location’s altitude and temperature conditions.
