Both 50 Hz and 60 Hz builds are listed. Model codes carry the standby rating and, where two builds share a rating, a trailing letter.

Perkins quotes its ratings to ISO 8528-1 reference conditions with the standard 10 % overload (one hour in twelve) on prime builds. The 400 series loses less output in heat than larger engines because of its coolant strategy, but it is still derated above 40 °C — we publish the curve per model.

Sizing a Perkins set?

Send the rating band and whether the site has a trained diesel mechanic on hand. Mechanical 1100 series sets are the right answer in markets where electronic diagnostics are hard to support, and we will say so on the quotation rather than upselling.

Configuration Options

Packaging a Perkins engine

The 1100 series is mechanically governed, which changes both the enclosure and the service story in remote markets.

Perkins splits cleanly in two at Cunmi. The 400 series is a small, quiet, liquid-cooled engine that suits a compact acoustic canopy, so most of those sets ship as silent units for telecom shelters and small commercial standby. The 1100 series stays mechanically governed, so we build those sets on open skids where the maintenance crew wants direct access to the injection pump; the 1200, 1500 and 2500 families are electronically governed and ship in canopies or containers.

Cross Reference

Compare other engine brands

For 7.5–48 kVA work where a smaller footprint matters more than brand familiarity, Kubota and Yanmar occupy the same slot with shorter lead times.

Questions

Perkins sets, answered plainly

The three things buyers ask us most about this engine platform.

The 1104A-44TG2 is the usual choice. It is mechanically governed, tolerates moderate fuel quality and has a wide parts footprint across Africa and the Middle East.

The 1103 and 1104 families are mechanical, the 1206 and 1500 families are electronic. That matters for enclosure design, because mechanical sets need more service clearance.

Yes. Perkins engines are commonly paired with Stamford, Leroy-Somer or Marathon alternators, and we quote whichever your specification names.
