Enclosed versions are 220.7" x 71.1" x 102" at 12,785 lbs. Fuel consumption is 145 L/hr (38.30 GPH) at full load, dropping to 79 L/hr (20.87 GPH) at half load.
Our service experience#
The Perkins 2806C is the 18 L platform that powers generators in the 500-750 kW range. The TAG3 single-turbo variant in this 600 kW model shares its block with the twin-turbo TTAG7 in Triton's 750 kW unit, so many consumables and service procedures overlap. At 600 kW, this unit competes with the Kohler 600REOZJF and Cummins QSK19-powered offerings. For larger commercial buildings, hospitals, and data center deployments in Northern California, Triton's value pricing on this proven Perkins platform is a significant differentiator.
