Perkins announced an addition to its EU Stage
V-compliant powertrain range with the
2806J-E18TAG1 ElectropaK. Perkins' new engine
is an 18-liter unit intended for the electric
power generation industry. The 2806J
achieves ISO 8528-5 G2 status and reportedly
provides excellent load acceptance in a wide
range of electric power applications from a
stationary prime source of power to a mobile
unit serving the rental sector.
" Reliable electric power is not an option, it's
a fundamental need to keep operations running,
whether that's for standby when the main
power fails or to meet onsite prime power requirements, "
said Jaz Gill, VP of global sales,
marketing, service and parts. " Our engines are
engineered and expertly crafted to provide
reliable, stable and sustainable power for our
customers, with the new 2806J being the latest
in a long line of products that also deliver a
low total cost of ownership. "
The 2806J can produce up to 610 kVA at 50
Hz and is switchable to 60 Hz, delivering up to
625 kVA. The ElectropaK features a single, onengine
electronic control module (ECM).
According to Perkins, this configuration simplifies
the wiring harnesses, eases installation,
supports future diagnostics and is fully capable
of integration with any customer telematics
solution. The ECM also reportedly manages all
aspects of aftertreatment operation and regeneration
without operator input.

" It's compatible
with biodiesel
blends of up to
B20 as well as
100% HVO. "
Perkins states that the 2806J is compatible
with standard diesel and biodiesel blends of up
to B20 as well as 100% hydrotreated vegetable
oil (HVO). Additionally, Perkins offers connectivity
solutions that reportedly optimize the
performance of diesel engines. Available as a
standalone service from Perkins or integrated
with a generator OEM's offerings, connected
engine capabilities deliver insights through a
customizable dashboard such as engine performance,
fuel and oil consumption and other
data points that maximize uptime.
These connectivity offerings are integrated
with recommended maintenance and service
capabilities from the Perkins global distributor
network to prompt the proactive diagnosis and
resolution of engine issues, helping technicians
provide solutions and minimize downtime and
repair expenses.
The new 2806J is now available to order and
is part of the company's range of EU Stage V
certified engines for electric power generation.
The range includes the 400 Series, 904 Series,
1200 Series, 1700 Series and the 2000 Series,
with power ranging from 4 kW @ 1500 rpm to
559 kW @ 1500 rpm.

SAE International Sections
SAE International Sections are local
units comprised of 100 or more SAE
International Members in a defined
technical or geographic area. The purpose
of local Sections is to meet the technical,
developmental, and personal needs of the
SAE Members in a given area. For more
information, please visit sae.org/sections
or contact SAE Member Relations Specialist
Abby Hartman at abby.hartman@sae.org.
SAE International
Collegiate Chapters
Collegiate Chapters are a way for SAE
International Student Members to get
together on their campus and develop
skills in a student-run and -elected
environment. Student Members are vital
to the continued success and future of
SAE. While your course work teaches
you the engineering knowledge you
need, participation in your SAE Collegiate
Chapter can develop or enhance other
important skills, including leadership,
time management, project management,
communications, organization, planning,
delegation, budgeting, and finance. For
more information, please visit students.
