Both Perkins generators from the UK and Cummins generators from the US are world-class brands.
Generally speaking, Perkins diesel generators are more fuel-efficient, while Cummins are more suitable for heavy loads.
Perkins generator sets are also cheaper to maintain.
Perkins has an advantage in small and medium-sized generator sets, while Cummins generator sets perform better in the high-power range.

Compared to Chinese generator sets, Perkins is more fuel-efficient, has a global after-sales network, and its parts are available worldwide.
It is easy to repair and maintain, has a longer service life than domestic generator sets in heavy-load environments, and meets international emission standards, resulting in better performance.
However, it is more expensive than domestic generator sets.

Tests show that the noise level of a silent Perkins generator at a distance of 7 meters is generally around 75dB.
Compared to other generator sets, Perkins generator sets have better noise reduction performance.
If you require an even quieter operating environment, we can provide you with a super silent enclosure, where the noise level at a distance of 7 meters is generally around 65dB.

During your use, you need to change the engine oil, oil filter, and diesel filter every 400-500 hours.
Regularly check the oil dipstick and coolant level.
Run the generator under no-load or load for at least 20-30 minutes each month.
With regular maintenance, your Perkins generator set can last for 15-20 years or more.

Both are genuine products; the only difference lies in the standards followed during engine production.
The price of the domestically produced Perkins generator is lower than that of the uk Perkins generator, but the uk Perkins generator is more compliant with EU Stage/Euro and EPA Tier environmental requirements.
The domestically produced Perkins generator is more suitable for the Southeast Asian, Middle Eastern, and African markets, while the British Perkins generator is more suitable for the European and North American markets.
However, both are of high quality, and we offer two types of Perkins generators for you to choose from.

With appropriate power, proper installation, and maintenance as required.
If used as a primary power source and more than 15 years.
If used as a backup power source,Perkins generator has lifespan of about 20 years and more.
Of course, in harsh operating environments, the lifespan of Perkins generator sets is usually around 10 years.

If you are using a Perkins generator set in a harsh environment, it is recommended to keep the load at around 70% for long-term operation and avoid operating at more than 90% load.
It should also be equipped with a 50℃ all-copper water tank and placed in a well-ventilated place.
Alternatively, you can purchase a generator set with a higher power output, and it is recommended to increase the power by 30%.
If you are using it continuously at full load, it is recommended to increase the power by 50%.

1. Locate the hand pump.
2. Loosen the bleed screw on the fuel filter and continuously press the hand pump.
3. Tighten the bleed screw and check.
4. Locate the bleed screw on the injection pump and loosen it.
5. Continue pumping fuel with the hand pump until diesel fuel flows continuously, then tighten it.
6. Check if the fuel line seals are worn.

1. Turn the key to the “ON” position to power on the control panel.
2. Wait 3-5 seconds for the self-test to complete, then turn the key to “START” to start the engine.
3. Starting time is usually ≤10 seconds. If it does not start, check the battery connection and try again.
4. After successful starting, run the engine under no-load for 2 minutes to check oil pressure, coolant temperature, voltage/frequency, etc.
5. If there are no problems, close the circuit breaker and slowly increase the load, avoiding sudden increases in load.

We price our used original Perkins generator sets based on power output and operating time.
Different power outputs and operating times result in different prices.
Our used Perkins generators range in operating time from several hundred to several thousand hours; we do not sell generator sets with over 10,000 hours of operating time.

ELECPRIME Perkins generator sets use genuine Perkins engines with complete certifications and ELECPRIME alternator with full power ratings.
The power output is accurate.
We perform standardized installation and commissioning to ensure you can use them directly without further debugging or repair.
Each unit undergoes 100% inspection before leaving the factory.
The production cycle is short, and delivery is usually within 7 days.

1. We will provide immediate remote technical support, resolving issues via video calls such as WhatsApp/WeChat.
2. You can also record a video of the malfunction or send us pictures, and our technical engineers will provide a solution as soon as possible.
3. If replacement parts are needed, our Perkins generator parts are globally compatible. You can purchase replacement parts locally, and we will provide compensation. Alternatively, we can ship parts to you free of charge via air freight.
Every ELECPRIME AC generator we sell has a dedicated technical representative to ensure your success!
