Guide to Perkins, Baudouin, Doosan and Cummins Generators

A practical overview of four established diesel-engine families and how application, support and duty should guide generator selection.

Compare the complete generator, not only the badge

Generator selection should consider standby or prime duty, load characteristics, local emissions requirements, ambient conditions, noise limits, controls, alternator, service access and parts availability. Engine brand is important, but it is one part of the complete system.

Established engine choices

  • Perkins: broad power-generation heritage, efficient operation and wide service support
  • Baudouin: robust heavy-duty engine platforms for industrial applications
  • Doosan: dependable larger-engine options for commercial and industrial power
  • Cummins: globally supported engines across a wide output range

Specify around the site

The best choice depends on the required kVA, expected running hours, step-load performance, installation environment and future maintenance provision. Blackwell can combine these engines with suitable alternators, Deep Sea controls and acoustic or open-set construction.
