What This Engine Is Built For
MEP Power supplies the Cummins NTA855-G1B as a complete 6-cylinder diesel generator set of 14L running a 145×152 mm bore and stroke. It is rated at 312.5 kVA at 1500 rpm. The engine is turbocharged and water cooled. Typical duty is prime and standby power on site.
Key Benefits
- Delivers 312.5 kVA at 1500 rpm from 14L as a factory-rated assembly.
- Turbocharged induction with water cooling keeps charge temperature under control in continuous duty.
- Published fuel consumption of 206 L/hr makes running cost predictable.
- Output 400/230V at 50HZ as supplied, matched at the factory.
- Backed by a written warranty of one year or 1000 hours, whichever comes first
- Genuine and OEM options quoted side by side so the budget decides, not the catalogue
Application Scenarios
- Factory standby power
- Data centre and hospital backup
- Off-grid site and mine power
- Rental power package
Who It Is For
- Factories and processing plants needing standby power for the whole site
- Hospitals, data centres and office buildings with critical loads
- Construction sites and mines working off-grid
- Contractors supplying rental power packages
Problems It Solves
- An outage costs more per hour than the set itself.
- Sets assembled from mismatched parts never reach their rated output.
- Remote sites cannot wait weeks for a spare part to be identified.
- Identifying the right NTA855-G1B variant from a serial number takes experience; MEP Power checks the configuration before quoting.

How It Compares
| Compared with | What to consider |
|---|---|
| A rebuilt or used engine of the same rating | A rebuilt unit may show the same 312.5 kVA on paper, but its running history is unknown and the warranty rarely covers the whole engine. |
| A larger engine in the same NTA855 range | Moving up a frame size adds weight, envelope and fuel burn; specify the next size up only if the duty cycle really needs the headroom. |
| A non-Cummins engine of similar output | Parts and service for Cummins families are available in most markets, which matters more over ten years than the purchase price on day one. |
