1.5 Fuel and Fumes Are Flammable

Fire, explosion, and personal injury or death can result from improper practices.
• Do not fill fuel tanks while the engine is running unless the tanks are outside the engine compartment. Fuel contact with hot engine or exhaust is a potential fire hazard.
• Do not permit any flame, cigarette, pilot light, spark, arcing equipment, or other ignition source near the generator set or fuel tank.
• Fuel lines must be adequately secured and free of leaks. Fuel connection at the engine should be made with an approved flexible line. Do not use copper piping on flexible lines as copper will become brittle if continuously vibrated or repeatedly bent.
• Make sure all fuel supplies have a positive shutoff valve.
• Make sure the battery area has been well-ventilated prior to servicing near it. Lead-acid batteries emit a highly explosive hydrogen gas that can be ignited by arcing, sparking, smoking, etc.

1.5.1 Gaseous Fuels

Natural gas is lighter than air, and will tend to gather under covered areas. Propane is heavier than air, and will tend to gather in sumps or low areas. NFPA code requires all persons handling propane to be trained and qualified.
1. Important Safety Instructions7-2016

1.5.2 Spillage

Any spillage that occurs during fueling or during oil top-off or oil change must be cleaned up before starting the generator set.

1.5.3 Fluid Containment

NOTICE
Where spillage containment is not part of a Cummins supply, it is the responsibility of the installer to provide the necessary containment to prevent contamination of the environment, especially water courses and sources.
If fluid containment is incorporated into the bedframe, it must be inspected at regular intervals. Any liquid present should be drained out and disposed of in line with local health and safety regulations. Failure to perform this action may result in spillage of liquids which could contaminate the surrounding area.
Any other fluid containment area must also be checked and emptied, as described above.

1.5.4 Do Not Operate in Flammable and Explosive Environments

Flammable vapor can cause an engine to over speed and become difficult to stop, resulting in possible fire, explosion, severe personal injury, and death. Do not operate a generator set where a flammable vapor environment can be created, unless the generator set is equipped with an automatic safety device to block the air intake and stop the engine. The owners and operators of the generator set are solely responsible for operating the generator set safely. Contact your authorized Cummins Power Generation distributor for more information.

4 Installation Overview

These installation recommendations apply to typical installations with standard model generator sets. Whenever possible, these recommendations also cover factory designed options or modifications. However, because of the many variables in any installation, it is not possible to provide specific recommendations for every situation. If there are any questions not answered by this manual, contact your nearest authorized distributor for assistance.

4.1 Application and Installation

A power system must be carefully planned and correctly installed for proper operation. This involves two essential elements.
Application (as it applies to generator set installations) refers to the design of the complete power system that usually includes power distribution equipment, transfer switches, ventilation equipment, mounting pads, cooling, exhaust, and fuel systems. Each component must be correctly designed so the complete system will function as intended. Application and design is an engineering function generally done by specifying engineers or other trained specialists. Specifying engineers or other trained specialists are responsible for the design of the complete power system and for selecting the materials and products required.
Installation refers to the actual set-up and assembly of the power system. The installers set up and connect the various components of the system as specified in the system design plan. The complexity of the system normally requires the special skills of qualified electricians, plumbers, sheet-metal workers, etc. to complete the various segments of the installation. This is necessary so that all components are assembled using standard methods and practices.

4.2 Safety Considerations

The generator set has been carefully designed to provide safe and efficient service when properly installed, maintained, and operated. However, the overall safety and reliability of the complete system is dependent on many factors outside the control of the generator set manufacturer. To avoid possible safety hazards, make all mechanical and electrical connections to the generator set exactly as specified in this manual. All systems external to the generator (fuel, exhaust, electrical, etc.) must comply with all applicable codes. Make certain all required inspections and tests have been completed and all code requirements have been satisfied before certifying the installation is complete and ready for service.

4.3 Standby Heating Devices

Cummins Power Generation requires installing standby generator sets (life safety systems) with engine jacket water coolant heaters in order to ensure a 10 second start. Jacket water coolant heaters are also recommended in prime and continuous applications where time and load acceptance is to be minimized.
The jacket water coolant heater provided by Cummins Power Generation is rated to provide the above requirements in ambient temperatures as low as 4 °C (40 °F). Although most Cummins Power Generation generator sets will start in temperatures down to –32 °C (–25 °F) when equipped with engine jacket water coolant heaters, it might take more than 10 seconds to warm the engine before a load can be applied when ambient temperatures are below 4 °C (40 °F).
23A034G612 (Issue 8) Copyright © 2016 Cummins Inc.
Page 30
4. Installation Overview 7-2016
On generator sets equipped with a graphic display, the Low Coolant Temperature message, in conjunction with illumination of the Warning LED, is provided to meet the current requirements. The engine cold sensing logic initiates a warning when the engine jacket water coolant temperature falls below 21 °C (70 °F). In applications where the ambient temperature falls below 4 °C (40 °F), or there exists a high amount of cold airflow, the jacket water coolant heater may not provide the necessary heating. Under these conditions, although the generator set may start, it may not be able to accept load within 10 seconds. When this condition occurs, check the coolant heaters for proper operation. If the coolant heaters are operating properly, other precautions may be necessary to warm the engine before applying a load.

4.4 Product Modifications

Agency certified products purchased from Cummins Power Generation comply only with those specific requirements and as noted on company product specification sheets. Subsequent modifications must meet commonly accepted engineering practices and/or local and national codes and standards. Product modifications must be submitted to the local authority having jurisdiction for approval.

4.5 Seismic Installations

Seismically certified generator set installations have special requirements, as defined by IAA-VMC (Independent Approval Agency, the VMC Group).
For special installation requirements, refer to the tabulated and written seismic requirements listed in
Appendix E on page 111.
The installation of the seismically certified generator set should be overseen by the installation project structural engineer of record.
The "Seismic Certificate of Compliance" should be kept with the Warranty and other generator set documents.
The seismic requirements installation drawing and the Seismic Certificate of Compliance for generator sets are included in the literature package of each seismically certified generator set.

4.5.1 Seismic Installation Notes

1. The design of post-installed anchors in concrete used for the component anchorage is pre-qualified for seismic applications in accordance with "ACI 355.2" and documented in a report by a reputable testing agency. (ex. the evaluation service report issued by the International Code Council)
2. Anchors must be installed to an embedment depth as recommended in the pre-qualification test report as defined in Note 1. For "IBC 2000" and "IBC 2003" applications, the minimum embedment must be 8X for the anchor diameter.
3. Anchors must be installed in minimum 4000 PSI compressive strength normal weight concrete. Concrete aggregate must comply with "ASTM C33". Installation in structural lightweight concrete is not permitted unless otherwise approved by the structural engineer of record.
4. Anchors must be installed to the torque specification as recommended by the anchor manufacturer to obtain maximum loading.
5. Anchors must be installed in locations specified in this section.
6. Wide washers must be installed at each anchor location between the anchor head and equipment for tension load distribution. Wide washers must be Series "W" of American National Standard Type "A" plain washers (ANSI B18.22.1-1965, R1975) with the nominal washer size selected to match the specified nominal anchor diameter.

4. Installation Overview7-2016
7. Concrete floor slab and concrete housekeeping pads must be designed and rebar reinforced for seismic applications in accordance with "ACI 318". The design loads shall be taken as those specified in this section.
8. All housekeeping pad thicknesses must be designed in accordance with the pre-qualification test report as defined in Note 1 or a minimum of 1.5X the anchor embedment depth, whichever is largest.
9. All housekeeping pads must be dowelled or cast into the building structural floor slab and designed for seismic application per "ACI 318" and as approved by the structural engineer of record.
10. Wall mounted equipment must be installed to a rebar reinforced structural concrete wall that is seismically designed and approved by the engineer of record to resist the added seismic loads from components being anchored to the wall.
11. Floor mounted equipment (with or without a housekeeping pad) must be installed to a rebar reinforced structural concrete floor that is seismically designed and approved by the engineer of record to resist the added seismic loads from components being anchored to the floor.
12. When installing to a floor or wall, rebar interference must be considered.
13. Attaching seismic certified equipment to any floor or wall other than those constructed of structural concrete and designed to accept the seismic loads from said equipment is not permitted by this specification and beyond the scope of this certification.
14. Attaching seismic certified equipment to any floor constructed of light weight concrete over steel decking is not permitted by this specification and beyond the scope of this certification.
15. Attaching the seismic certified equipment to any concrete block walls or cinder block walls is not permitted by this specification and beyond the scope of this certification.
16. Installation upon a rooftop steel dunnage shall be coordinated with the structural engineer of record.
17. Installation upon any rooftop curb shall be coordinated with the curb manufacturer and the structural engineer of record. Any curb or concrete pad that supports the generator set unit is beyond the scope of this certification.
18. Connections to the equipment, including but not limited to conduit, wiring from cable trays, other electrical services, ducting, piping such as exhaust, steam, water, coolant, refrigerant, fuel, or other connections, are the responsibility of the installing contractor and beyond the scope of this document. Typical requirements for these connections are stated in the equipment installation manual. Special considerations for seismic applications are as follows; connections to non-isolated components or equipment may be installed as typical for that particular application. Connections to isolated components (ex. breaker box bolted directly to an isolated generator set) or isolated equipment (ex. an enclosed generator set mounted on external isolators) must be flexibly attached. The flexible attachment must provide for enough relative displacement to remain connected to the equipment and functional during and after a seismic event.

6. Installing the Generator Set 7-2016
NOTICE
Depending on your location and intended use, additional laws and regulations may require for you to obtain an air quality emissions permit before beginning installation of your generator set. Be sure to consult local pollution control or air quality authorities before completing your construction plans.
Generator set location is decided mainly by related systems such as ventilation, wiring, fuel, and exhaust. The set should be located as near as possible to the main power service entrance. Exhaust gases must not be able to enter or accumulate around inhabited areas.
Provide a location away from extreme ambient temperatures and protect the generator set from adverse weather conditions.
Use the following information to locate the generator set for optimal operating conditions:
Surface: Concrete or compacted gravel with the generator set resting on solid, poured concrete blocks, or timber blocks spaced at reasonable intervals around the perimeter of the generator set.
Leveling: Level the generator set from side-to-side within + 3.5°, and end-to-end within +2.5°.
Placement:
• Generator sets should be a minimum of 5 m (16.4 ft) apart to allow for adequate access.
• Make sure that the air inlets are not obstructed by surrounding trees, buildings, or other obstructions.
• Make sure noise distribution (to prevent echoing) is kept to a minimum.
• Consider exhaust for immediate neighbors.
• The prevailing wind direction should be considered so that the engine combustion air inlet is upwind and the exhaust discharge is downwind.
• The immediate area around the proposed location of the mounting surface should be evaluated for proper drainage so that moisture run-off is sufficient to prevent ponding around the unit(s).

6.2 Mounting

Generator sets are mounted on a steel skid that provides proper support. The engine-generator assembly is isolated from the skid frame by rubber mounts that provide adequate vibration isolation for normal installations. Where required by building codes or special isolation needs, generator sets may be mounted on rubber pads or mechanical spring isolators.
The use of unapproved isolators may result in harmful resonances and may void the generator set warranty.
Mount the generator set on a substantial and level base such as a concrete pad. A non-combustible material must be used for the pad.
Use 16 mm (5/8inch) or anchored mounting bolts to secure the generator set bedframe to the base. Use a flat washer and hexagonal nut for each bolt (see Figure 7). The 38 mm x 152 mm (11/2x 6 inch) pipe inserted over the mounting bolts allows minor adjustment of the bolts to align them to the holes in the bedframe.
NOTICE
The fixing centers for the mounting bolts can be found on the generator set Outline Drawing.

FIGURE 7. BOLT DIAGRAM

6.3 Access to Set

Generally, at least 1 meter (3.3 feet) of clearance should be provided on all sides of the generator set for maintenance and service access. (Increase clearance by width of door if optional housing is used.) A raised foundation or slab of 152 mm (6 inches) or more above floor level will make servicing easier. Lighting should be adequate for operation, maintenance and service operations and should be connected on the load side of the transfer switch so that it is available at all times.

6.4 Vibration Isolator Installation and Adjustment Procedure

1. Place the vibration isolators (see Figure 8) on the generator set support structure. The isolators
should be shimmed or grouted to make sure that all of the isolator bases are within 0.25 inch (6 mm) elevation of each other. The surface that the isolator bases rest on must also be flat and level.
31A034G612 (Issue 8) Copyright © 2016 Cummins Inc.
Page 38
6. Installing the Generator Set 7-2016
2. Loosen the side snubber lock nuts so that the top plate of the isolator is free to move vertically and horizontally. Be sure that the top plate is correctly aligned with the base and springs.
3. Place the generator set onto the isolators while aligning the skid's mounting with the threaded isolator hole. The top plates will move down and approach the base of the isolator as load is applied.
4. Once the generator set is in position, the isolators may require adjusting so that the set is level. The isolators are adjusted by inserting the leveling bolt through the skid and into the isolator (the leveling bolt's locking nut should be threaded up towards the bolt head).
The leveling bolt will adjust the clearance between the top plate and the isolator base. A nominal clearance of 0.25 inch (6 mm) or greater is desired. This will provide sufficient clearance for the rocking that occurs during startup and shutdown. If the 0.25 inch (6 mm) clearance is not present, turn the leveling bolt until the desired clearance is achieved.
5. If the radiator and engine are mounted on separate skids, make sure the radiator skid and engine/alternator skid are level with each other after adjusting the isolators. If not level, proper fan belt alignment cannot be achieved.
6. If the generator set is not yet level, adjust the leveling bolts until the set is level and sufficient clearance still remains. (Clearance on all isolators should be roughly equal).
7. Once all isolators have been set, lock the leveling bolt in place with the lock nut.
8. The snubber nuts must remain loose to provide better isolation between the generator set and the support structure.

Heavy Load Incorrect lifting or repositioning can cause severe personal injury or death. Make sure that only suitably trained and experienced personnel transport and handle generator
sets and associated components.
WARNING
Heavy Load Incorrect lifting or repositioning can cause severe personal injury or death. Do not lift the generator set by attaching to the engine or alternator lifting points. Do not stand
under or near the generator set when lifting.
NOTICE
Any panels or doors must be locked before re-positioning and must remain locked during transportation and siting.
• Ensure the generator set is prepared for transport. If necessary drain fluids and ensure that acid or fumes do not leak from the battery (where applicable).
• If the generator set is transported over long distances, protect it against environmental influences by sealing it in a plastic cover or similar.
• Ensure the generator set is secured to the vehicle with suitable securing straps. Wooden chocks and pallets alongside the securing straps can prevent movement during transportation.
• If required, attached impact indicators to the generator set. Upon delivery, check these impact indicators and contact the transport company immediately if an impact has been detected. Impacts can cause serious damage to the generator set and its components.
• Ensure that the generator set cannot turn over during transportation.
• Do not overload the transport vehicle. Under no circumstances should the generator set be started while inside a truck.
• Lifting eyes, where fitted, are to be checked at regular intervals to ensure they are damage free and tight.

7 Mechanical Connections

The generator set mechanical system installation includes connecting the fuel, exhaust, ventilation, and cooling systems. Before starting any type of fuel installation, all pertinent state and local codes must be complied with and the installation must be inspected before the unit is put in service.

7.1 Fuel System

In all fuel system installations, cleanliness is of the utmost importance. Make every effort to prevent entrance of moisture, dirt, or contaminants of any kind into the fuel system. Clean all fuel system components before installing. Use only compatible metal fuel lines to avoid electrolysis when fuel lines must be buried. Buried fuel lines must be protected from corrosion.

7.1.1 Gaseous Fuel Supply

Gaseous fueled generator sets (also called "spark-ignited generator sets") may utilize natural gas or Liquid Petroleum gas (Propane), or both. Dual fuel systems with natural gas as primary fuel and propane as a backup can be used in seismic risk areas and where there is concern that a natural event could disrupt a public utility gas system.
Regardless of the fuel used, the primary factors in successful installation and operations of a gas fuel system are:
• The gas supplied to the generator set must be of acceptable quality. Refer to the Application Manual T-030, Liquid Cooled Generator Sets for more detailed information about Cummins approved fuel types and quality.
• The gas supply must have sufficient pressure (defined for each generator set on the respective data­sheets). Care must be taken to be sure that the gas supply at the generator set, not just at the source, is of proper pressure for operation. The specified pressure must be available while the generator set is running at full load.
• The gas must be supplied to the generator set in sufficient volume to support operation of the generator set. This is normally a matter of selecting fuel line size to be large enough to transport the volume of fuel needed. For LP vapor-withdrawal fuel systems the size and temperature of the fuel tank also affects this requirement.
Failure to meet the minimum requirements of the generator set in these areas will result in the inability of the generator set to operate, or inability to carry rated load, or poor transient performance. Insufficient flow can also result in engine damage or catastrophic failure.

7.1.2 Gaseous Fuel Quality

Gaseous fuels are actually a mixture of several different hydrocarbon gases such as methane, ethane, propane and butane; other gaseous elements such as oxygen and nitrogen; vaporized water; and various contaminants, some of which are potentially damaging to an engine over time. The quality of the fuel is based on the amount of energy per unit volume in the fuel and the amount of contaminants in the fuel.

7.1.2.1 Energy Content
One of the most important characteristics of the gaseous fuel used in a generator set is the heat value of the fuel. The heat value of a fuel describes how much energy is stored in specific volume of the fuel. Gaseous fuel has a low heat value (LHV) and a high heat value (HHV). The low heat value is the heat available to do work in an engine after the water in the fuel is vaporized. If the low heat value of a fuel is too low, even if a sufficient volume of fuel reaches the engine, the engine will not be able to maintain full output power, because sufficient energy is not available in the engine to convert to mechanical energy. If the LHV is below 905 BTU/ft3the engine may not produce rated power at standard ambient temperature conditions.
If the local fuel has a higher energy content than 1000 BTU/ft3, the actual flow requirements in ft3/min will be lower and the pressure requirements drop slightly. Conversely, if the local fuel has a lower energy content than 1000 BTU/ft3, the actual flow requirements in ft3/min will be higher and a higher minimum supply pressure will be needed to meet published performance for any given generator set.
Each engine may have slightly different performance characteristics based on the type of fuel provided, due to differences in engine compression ratio, and whether the engine is naturally aspirated or turbocharged.
7.1.2.2 Pipeline Natural Gas
The most common fuel for generator sets is called Pipeline Natural Gas. In the US, Dry Pipeline Natural Gas has specific qualities, based on federal requirements. In other countries, Pipeline Gas may vary in content, so fuel characteristics should be verified prior to use with a generator set. US Pipeline Gas in a mixture composed of approximately 98% Methane and Ethane with the other 2% being hydrocarbons such as Propane and Butane, Nitrogen, Carbon Dioxide and water vapor. "Dry" means that it is free of liquid hydrocarbons, such as gasoline, but NOT that it is free of water vapor. Dry Pipeline Gas typically has a LHV of 936 BTU/ft3, and a HHV of 1,038 BTU/ft3.
7.1.2.3 Field Gas
The composition of Field Natural Gas varies considerably by region and by continent. Careful analysis is necessary prior to using Field Natural Gas in an engine. Field Natural Gas can contain heavier hydrocarbon gases such as Pentane, Hexane and Heptane, which may require derating of the output of the engine. Other contaminants, such as Sulfur, may also be present in the fuel. A typical Field Gas might have an LHV of 1203 BTU/ft3, and an HHV of 1,325 BTU/ft3.
7.1.2.4 Propane/Liquid Petroleum Gas (LPG)
Propane is available in two grades, either commercial or special duty. Commercial Propane is used where high volatility is required. Not all spark-ignition engines will operate acceptably with this fuel due to its volatility. Special duty Propane (also called HD5) is a mixture of 95% Propane and other gases, such as Butane, that allow better engine performance due to the reduction pre-ignition due to reduced volatility. Special duty Propane fuel gas that meets the ASTM D 1835 specification for special-duty Propane (equivalent to HD-5 Propane of Gas Producers Association Standard 2140) is suitable for most engines. Propane has an LHV of approximately 2,353 BTU/ft3, and an HHV of 2,557 BTU/ft3. The higher heating value of the fuel necessitates mixing of different volumes of air in the fuel system for Propane vs. Natural Gas applications, so dual fuel engines essentially have two fuel arrangements for this purpose.

7.1.2.5 Contaminants
The most harmful contaminants in gaseous fuels are water vapor and Sulfur.
Water vapor is damaging to an engine because it may cause uncontrolled burning, pre-ignition, or other effects that can damage an engine. Liquid vapor or droplets must be removed from the fuel prior to entry into the engine by use of a dry filter that is mounted in the fuel system prior to the primary fuel pressure regulator. The dew point of fuel gas should be at least 20 °F (11 °C) below the minimum ambient temperature at the installation site.
Sulfur and Hydrogen sulfides will cause corrosion and serious damage to an engine over a relative short period of time. Different engines have different levels of tolerance to sulfur contamination, and some engines simply should not be operated with fuel that contains significant Sulfur content. Contact the engine manufacturer for approval of specific engines with specific fuels. The effects of Sulfur in the fuel can be counteracted in part by use of high-ash Natural Gas lubricating oils. In general, engines should not be operated with fuels in excess of 10 parts per million (ppm).
Certain fuels, such as those derived from land fill applicants, can have useful chemical energy content, but very high sulfur levels (>24 ppm). These fuels are often termed "sour gas". If this fuel is scrubbed of the Sulfur content, it can be used as fuel for many engines, provided that it has sufficient BTU content.
7.1.2.6 Fuel Analysis
The gaseous fuel supplier can provide a fuel analysis that describes the chemical makeup of the fuel to be provided. This fuel analysis can be used to make certain that the fuel is suitable for use in the specific engine proposed for a specific application, and also to verify that the BTU content of the fuel is sufficient to provide necessary kW output of the machine. Gas suppliers may change the Pipeline Natural Gas composition without notice, so there is no long-term guarantee of performance, but the process of evaluation of the fuel can be briefly described as:
7. Mechanical Connections7-2016
1. List the percent of each gas constituent in the fuel.
2. Calculate the percent of the total fuel that is combustible. The combustible portion of the fuel is 100% less the inert component percentages. Inert components include Oxygen, Carbon Dioxide and water vapor.
3. Calculate the percent of each combustible component of the fuel.
4. Verify acceptability of the fuel by checking the percent of each combustible element vs. the recommendations of the engine manufacturer.
For example, for a gas analysis of:
90% Methane
6% Ethane
2% Hydrogen
1% Normal Pentane
1% Nitrogen
• Total percent inert elements: 1%
• Total combustible: 100% - 1% = 99%
• % Methane: 90% ÷ 99% = 91%
• % Ethane: 6% ÷ 99% = 6.1%
• % Hydrogen: 2% ÷ 99% = 2%
• % Normal Pentane: 1% ÷ 99% = 1%

Page 46
7. Mechanical Connections 7-2016
See the following tables for a typical listing of Maximum Permissible Combustibles in Cummins Gas generator sets. Note that in this example, the analysis shows the fuel will be acceptable for a lower compression ratio engine (typically around 8.5:1) but not for a higher compression engine. A higher compression engine will have more stringent fuel composition requirements but may operate satisfactorily with a derating of its output - consult the engine manufacturer.
5. Verify the rating of the generator set based on the use of the proposed fuel.
The total BTU content of the fuel will determine the rating of the generator set when using fuel of a specific composition. If any component of the fuel has more than the specific value allowed derating will be required. Consult the engine manufacturer for fuel requirements and derating instructions.
Note that the fuel derating and the altitude/temperature derating 21 are not additive. Only the maximum value of the fuel derate or the altitude/temperature derate need be applied.
Turbocharged engines have unique fuel composition requirements due to higher cylinder pressures. To avoid problems with pre-ignition or denotation, power output derating is required if propane and/or ISO­Butane content exceed the percentages listed in the following tables.

7.1.3 Site Fuel System Design

The following should be considered when installing a natural gas and/or LPG fuel system:
• Gaseous-fuel supply system design, materials, components, fabrication, assembly, installation, testing, inspection, operation, and maintenance must comply with all applicable codes (In North America, NFPA Standards No.30, No.37, No.54 and No. 58 are typical).
• The layout and sizing of gas piping must be adequate for handling the volume of gas required by the generator set and all other equipment, such as building heating boilers, supplied by the same source. Full-load gas flow (see the recommended generator set Data Sheet) must be available at not less than the minimum required supply pressure, typically from 7 to 13.6 inches WC (water column), depending on model. Final determination of pipe sizes must, however, be based upon the method approved by the authority having jurisdiction (see NFPA No.54).
• Most installations will require a service gas pressure regulator. Gas supply pressure should not exceed 14 inches WC, depending on model, at the inlet to the generator set. Refer to the generator set data sheet for model specific details. Depending on distribution gas pressure, more than one stage of pressure regulation may be required. High-pressure gas piping is not permitted inside buildings (5 PSIG for natural gas and 20 PSIG for LPG, unless higher pressures are approved by the authority having jurisdiction). Gas pressure regulators must be vented to the outdoors according to code.
• The pressure regulator installed on the supply line at the gas source for generator applications should never be a "pilot" regulator. A "pilot" style regulator is the type where the regulator requires a pressure line from the regulator housing to the downstream gas pipe to "sense" when downstream pressure has dropped. Pilot regulators do not work because the response time is unacceptable compared to the large instantaneous changes in demand from the generator set.
7. Mechanical Connections7-2016
• Approved fuel hose must be used for connections at the engine to take up generator set movement and vibration.
• Most codes require both manual and electric (battery-powered) shutoff valves ahead of the flexible fuel hose(s). The manual valve should be of the indicating type.
• A dryer fuel filter should be installed in each line to protect the sensitive pressure regulating components and orifices downstream from harmful foreign substances carried along in the gas stream (rust, scale, etc.)
• An LPG fuel supply system must be dedicated for the emergency power system if it is the required alternative fuel.
• An LPG vaporizer heated by engine coolant is factory installed on Cummins Power Generation generator sets equipped for a liquid-withdrawal of LPG. Because high pressure (20 PSIG or greater) gas piping is not permitted inside buildings, generator sets equipped for liquid withdrawal of LPG must not be installed inside the building. (Weather-protective housings for outdoor installation are available for most LPG models.)
• The rate of vaporization in an LPG tank depends upon the outdoor air temperature, unless the tank is equipped with a heater, and the quality of fuel in the tank. Even on cold days outdoor air heats and vaporizes LPG (mostly through the wetted tank surface) when air temperature is higher than LPG temperature. Withdrawing vapor causes tank temperature and pressure to drop. (At -38 °C (-37 °F) LPG has zero vapor pressure.) Unless there is enough fuel and enough heat available from ambient air, the vaporization rate will drop off, as the generator set runs, to less than that required to continue running properly.
Refer to Application Manual T-030 Liquid Cooled Generator Sets or Cummins Sales Application Engineering for more information on Site Fuel System Design.

7.1.4 Gaseous Fuel System Calculations

Tank Size
Use the "Minimum LPG Tank Size (50% Full) Required to Maintain 5 PSIG at Specific Withdrawal Rate and Minimum Expected Winter Temperature" figure as a quick reference for sizing an LPG tank on the basis of the lowest ambient temperature expected. For example, on a 40 °F day, withdrawal at 1000 ft3/hr requires a 2000 gallon tank at least half full. Note: In many instances the amount of total fuel required for proper vaporization is far greater than that required for the number of hours of operation stipulated by code.
For instance, in an NFPA 110 Class 6 application, there must be enough fuel for the generator set to run for 6 hours before refilling the tank. LPG yields approximately 36.5 ft3of gas per gallon of liquid. If the generator set withdrawal rate is 1000 ft3/h:

Page 50
7. Mechanical Connections 7-2016
FIGURE 12. TANK SIZE EQUATION.
In this instance the tank must be sized for at least 2000 gallons based on the lowest expected temperature rather than on the fuel consumed in 6 hours (164 gallons).
Gas Pipe Sizing
Sizing of gas piping for proper fuel delivery, both flow and pressure, can become quite complex. However, a simplified method, as with other piping for exhaust and coolant, is to convert all fittings, valves, etc. to equivalent lengths of pipe in the diameter(s) being considered. The total equivalent length can then be related to flow capacity.
Notes about the following tables:
• Equivalent Lengths of Pipe Fittings and Valves applies to gas as well as liquid piping.
• Show maximum gas capacity for equivalent length for various pipe sizes.
• Show maximum gas capacity for equivalent length for various pipe sizes.
• Reproduced from NFPA 54-2002, National Fuel Gas Code, and are selected considering the general fuel system operating requirements for generator sets.
• Included for natural gas, propane liquid withdrawal and propane vapor withdrawal under specified conditions.
• Consult NFPA 54 or other applicable codes for other operating conditions or other fuel system installation requirements.
A calculation of minimum pipe size is fairly straightforward:
• Make a list of all the fittings and valves in a proposed system and sum their equivalent lengths using the table.
• Add to this total, all lengths of straight pipe to arrive at a total equivalent length.
• Choose the applicable table based on the fuel system.
• Obtain the maximum fuel requirements for the specific generator set(s) from the manufacturer's specification sheets. Convert to ft3/hr as needed (Be cognizant of BTU content as discussed earlier in this section.)
• Locate the equivalent length of pipe (or next larger equivalent length) in the left hand column. Move across to the columns to where the number is as large or larger than the total equivalent length calculated above. At the top of that column is the minimum nominal pipe size or tubing size required for the system as designed.

7.2 Exhaust System

Toxic Gases Inhalation of exhaust gases can cause asphyxiation and death. Use extreme care during installation to provide a tight exhaust system. Terminate exhaust pipes
away from enclosed or sheltered areas, windows, doors, and vents. Do not use exhaust heat to warm a room, compartment, or storage area.

WARNING
Hot Surface Hot surfaces can start a fire which can cause severe burns or death. Use an approved thimble where exhaust pipes pass through wall or partitions.
NOTICE
Weight applied to the engine manifold can result in turbocharger damage. Support the silencer and exhaust piping so no weight or stress is applied to the engine exhaust elbow.
NOTICE
Gaseous fuels are susceptible to high condensation levels in the exhaust. It is important to have properly routed/sized exhaust systems to prevent harm to turbochargers and Oxygen sensors (HEGO).
NOTICE
Liability for injury, death, damage, and warranty expense due to use of unapproved silencers or modifications to the exhaust system becomes the responsibility of the person installing the unapproved silencer or performing the modification. Contact your authorized distributor for approved exhaust system parts.

Pipe exhaust gases to the outside of any enclosure. Locate the exhaust outlets away from any air inlets to avoid gases re-entering the enclosure. Exhaust installations are subject to various detrimental conditions such as extreme heat, infrequent operation, and light loads. Regularly inspect the exhaust system both visually and audibly to see that the entire system remains fume tight and safe for operation.
NOTICE
Enclosed generator sets are not generally designed to be used in a building. If the generator set is to be used in a building, additional requirements must be applied.
Where an enclosed generator set is used in a building, the exhaust system should be extended to vent the exhaust gases. Use sealed joint type fittings where possible to provide a tight exhaust system. Use of slip type fittings (secured with a clamp) may allow leakage of exhaust gases into the building if not fitted correctly. Check to make sure there are no exhaust leaks.
When a unit is provided with a partially installed or incomplete exhaust system, exhaust piping and chimneys shall be designed, constructed, and installed in accordance with the Standard for the Installation and Use of Stationary Combustion Engines and Gas Turbines, NFPA 37, or applicable local standards. Build according to the code requirements in effect at the installation site.
For indoor installation, the exhaust system should use sealed joint type fittings where possible to provide a tight exhaust system. Use of slip type fittings (secured with a clamp) may allow leakage of exhaust gases into the building if not fitted correctly fitted. Check to make sure there are no exhaust leaks.
Use an approved thimble (see Figure 14 on page 57) where exhaust pipes pass through a wall or partition. Insulated wall/roof thimbles are used where exhaust pipes pass through a combustible roof or wall. This includes structures, such as wood framing or insulated steel decking, etc. Uninsulated wall/roof thimbles are used where exhaust pipes pass through a non-combustible wall or roof, such as concrete. When a unit is provided with a partially installed or incomplete exhaust system, exhaust piping and chimneys shall be designed, constructed, and installed in accordance with the Standard for the Installation and Use of Stationary Combustion Engines and Gas Turbines, NFPA 37, or applicable local standards. Build according to the code requirements in effect at the installation site.
Rain caps are available for the discharge end of vertical exhaust pipes. The rain cap clamps onto the end of the pipe and opens due to exhaust discharge force from the generator set. When the generator set is stopped, the rain cap automatically closes, protecting the exhaust system from rain, snow, etc.
Use a section of flexible exhaust pipe between the engine and remainder of exhaust system. Support the exhaust system to prevent weight from being applied to engine exhaust outlet elbow/turbocharger connection.
The exhaust system design should meet local code requirements.
Avoid sharp bends by using sweeping, long radius elbows and provide adequate support for the silencer and tailpipe. Pitch a horizontal run of exhaust pipe downward (away from engine) to allow any moisture condensation to drain away from the engine. If an exhaust pipe must be turned upward, install a condensation trap at the point where the rise begins (see Figure 15 on page 57).
Shield or insulate exhaust lines if there is danger of personal contact. Allow at least 305 mm (12 inches) of clearance if the pipes pass close to a combustible wall or partition. Before installing insulation on exhaust system components, check the exhaust system for leaks while operating the generator set under full load and correct all leaks.
Refer to Application Manual T-030, Liquid Cooled Generator Sets for more detailed information about sizes of exhaust system pipes and fittings.

7.3 Ventilation and Cooling

WARNING
Toxic Gases Engine and radiator cooling air may carry carbon monoxide gas, which can cause asphyxiation
and death. Pipe exhaust gas outside and away from windows, doors, or other inlets to buildings. Do not
allow exhaust gas to accumulate in habitable areas.
Generator sets create considerable heat that must be removed by proper ventilation.
Generator sets in factory-mounted housings for outdoor installation are designed for proper cooling and ventilation.
Indoor installations require careful design with respect to cooling and ventilation. In an indoor installation, all radiator cooling air must be discharged to the out-of-doors. Duct adapter kits are available.
Outdoor installations normally rely on natural air circulation but indoor installations need properly sized and positioned vents for required airflow.
58 A034G612 (Issue 8)Copyright © 2016 Cummins Inc.
Page 65

7.4 Vents and Ducts

For indoor installations, locate vents so incoming air passes through the immediate area of the installation before exhausting. Install the air outlet higher than the air inlet to allow for convection air movement.
Size the vents and ducts so they are large enough to allow the required flow rate of air.
The "free area" of ducts must be as large as the exposed area of the radiator. Refer to the generator set Specification Sheet for the airflow requirements and allowed airflow restriction.
Wind will restrict free airflow if it blows directly into the air outlet vent. Locate the outlet vent so the effects of wind are eliminated, or if outlet vent cannot be located as mentioned, install a wind barrier, see Figure
17.

7.5 Dampers

Dampers or louvers protect the generator set and equipment room from the outside environment. Their operation of opening and closing should be controlled by operation of the generator set.
59A034G612 (Issue 8) Copyright © 2016 Cummins Inc.
Page 66
7. Mechanical Connections 7-2016
In cold climates, the radiator exhaust air can be recirculated to modulate the ambient air temperature in the generator set room. This will help the generator set warm up faster, and help to keep fuel temperatures higher than the cloud point of the fuel. If recirculation dampers are used, they should be designed to 'fail closed', with the main exhaust dampers open, so that the generator set can continue to operate when required. Designers should be aware that the generator set room operating temperature will be very close to the outdoor temperature, and either not route water piping through the generator set room, or protect it from freezing.

7.6 Air Inlet and Outlet Openings

Louvers and screens over air inlet and outlet openings restrict air flow and vary widely in performance.
A louver assembly with narrow vanes, for example, tends to be more restrictive than one with wide vanes. The effective open area specified by the louver or screen manufacturer should be used.
Radiator set cooling air is drawn past the control end of the set by a pusher fan that blows air through the radiator. Locate the air inlet to the rear of the set. Make the inlet vent opening 1.5 times larger than the radiator area.
Locate the cooling air outlet directly in front of the radiator and as close as possible. The outlet opening must be at least as large as the radiator area. Length and shape of the air outlet duct should offer minimum restriction to airflow.
A flexible duct connector must be provided at the radiator to prevent exhaust air recirculation around the radiator, to take up generator set movement and vibration, and to prevent transmission of noise. Attach the flexible duct using screws and nuts so that the duct can be removed for maintenance purposes. Before installing the duct, remove the radiator core guard.
Enclosed generator sets are primarily designed to work in an open environment. When considering installing an enclosed generator set in an enclosed environment specific application factors must be considered (air flow, exhaust gas extraction, fuel supply and storage, etc.). For advice, contact the Application Engineering Group at Cummins Power Generation.

NOTICE
Ventilate the battery area before working on or near battery. Wear goggles. Stop the generator set and disconnect the battery charger before disconnecting battery cables. Disconnect negative (–) cable first and reconnect last using an insulated wrench.
Connecting the generator set AC electrical system involves:
• Installation of transfer switch
• Installation or verification of paralleling switchboard
• Generator output voltage selection
• Load cable connection
• Standard and optional AC equipment connections (e.g., control box heater, coolant heater, etc.).
For all output connections, including when field connection is made at the alternator terminations, installation should be completed with conductors of appropriate size, type, and rating specified in local codes (or UL). For UL compliant installations, use conductor size, X AWG, 75 °C or 90 °C copper wire, 600V. Where X AWG is the conductor size specified by the local electrical code for 75 °C at the rated output current for the generator set. For non-UL compliant installations, use cable sizes, composition, and rating per local codes. Strain relief, bending space, raceway, and other installation features should be completed in compliance with local code.
Local regulations often require that wiring connections be made by a licensed electrician, and that the installation be inspected and approved before operation. All connections, wire sizes, materials used, etc. must conform to the requirements of electrical codes in effect at the installation site.
Before starting the generator set, check to make sure that all electrical connections are secure, and that all wiring is complete. Replace and secure any access panels that have been removed during installation. Check that the load cables from the generator set are properly connected.
Backfeed to a utility system can cause electrocution or property damage. Do not connect to any building electrical system except through an approved device and after the building main switch is opened.

9.1 Transfer Switch

9.2 Alternator Voltage Connections

These alternators can be configured to the nameplate voltages as shown on the Reconnection Diagram decal, attached to the backside of the control box cover. Many of the voltages listed will require reconfiguration of the alternator output leads on the connection terminal block. This reconfiguration must only be done by service personnel that are trained and experienced to perform electrical installation. The generator set was adjusted to produce a specified voltage during production verification testing prior to shipment. The installer must always check the stator lead terminal block connections and perform any necessary reconnect to obtain the voltage required.
Some generator sets are capable of producing a wide range of voltages and connection configurations; others have specific limited capabilities. Refer to wiring diagram and generator voltages (from the nameplate) when reviewing the voltage connection information and use the wiring diagram supplied with your generator set when actually performing load connections.
NOTICE
Reconfiguring generator sets to higher voltages can exceed the voltage capability of the specific generator windings and damage the generator and also decrease line current, rendering line circuit breakers too large. Consult with your authorized distributor before performing reconnection for a different voltage.
NOTICE
Reconfiguring generator sets to lower voltages can reduce generator set ratings, and also increase line current, rendering line circuit breakers too small. Consult with your authorized distributor before performing reconnection for a different voltage.

9. AC Electrical Connections 7-2016

9.3 Load Connections

NOTICE
Flexible conduit and stranded conductors must be used for connections to take up movement of the generator set.
All loads are connected to the alternator by bolting stranded load wires to the appropriate terminals on the alternator reconnection terminal block or circuit breaker lugs. The terminals are marked U, V, W, and N to indicate the line and neutral connections. (Reference: U, V, and W correspond with L1, L2 and L3; and N with L0 respectively). See Appendix C on page 101 for details about the following:
• Load connections
• Conduit
• Cable Size

9.4 Load Balancing

When connecting loads to the generator set, balance the loads so that the current flow from each line terminal (L1, L2, and L3) is about the same. This is especially important if both single phase and three phase loads are connected. Any combination of single phase and three phase loading can be used as long as each line current is about the same, within 10 percent of median value and no line current exceeds the name plate rating of the generator. Check the current flow from each line after connections by observing the Operator Panel ammeter.

9.5 Current Transformers

Current transformers (CTs) reduce high voltage currents (AC) to enable safe monitoring.

9.5.1 CT Installation Requirements

The CT has a dot on one side. This dot must be facing toward the alternator reconnection terminal block (conventional current flowing into the dot). A dot is also used to indicate pin 1 of the CT.
Route the load lead through the appropriate CT (refer to the Reconnection Diagram in Appendix D on
page 107.
The CTs have dual secondaries (3 pins). The CT secondary wire marked 1 is connected to pin 1 of the CT. CT secondary wire marked 2/3 is connected to pin 3 for low voltage generator sets.

9.6 Coolant Heater

The coolant heaters are designed to allow the generator set to start and pick up load within 10 seconds in a 4.4 °C (40 °F) environment. In colder ambient temperature environments the starting time may be longer.
