Overview
The Cummins L9CS4 is a 9 L Cummins diesel engine supplied in 2 factory ratings from 308 hp (230 kW) to 331 hp (247 kW). Every rating listed on this page is a complete engine for generator drive duty, not a generator set, and each unit ships with its serial number recorded against the specification sheet that applies to it.
Ratings in this family differ in rated speed, peak torque and emissions tier rather than in displacement or cylinder count, so the choice between them is a duty-matching question. The specifications panel and the per-rating entries on this page are generated from the same source data, so a rating quoted here can be matched directly against a delivery document.
Specifications
The specifications panel lists the family-level values that are common to every L9CS4 rating. Ratings that share displacement and cylinder count but differ in output are listed individually in the model selection section.
Model Selection: L9CS4 Ratings
Each entry in this section is one rating of the Cummins L9CS4. The rated power is the output at the stated speed; the peak torque figure is the value the rating develops at the lower speed shown, which is what normally decides whether a rating suits a given machine. Each rating carries a stable anchor, so a single rating can be linked or quoted directly.
L9CS4-GT2
L9CS4-GT2 — rated 230 kW (308 hp) at 252 rpm; emissions 国四.
L9CS4-GT1
L9CS4-GT1 — rated 247 kW (331 hp) at 272 rpm; emissions 国四.
Applications
L9CS4 engines in this family are normally specified for generator drive work.
Generator drive: ratings here are quoted at a fixed governed speed, and the engine is matched to the alternator frame and the prime/standby duty that the site actually needs.
Emissions: the ratings listed here carry 国四. Where a market imposes a different standard, confirm the tier before ordering, because the same model number can be built to more than one tier.
Verification, Documentation and Ordering
Each engine is offered with nameplate verification + load-test record per serial number. That means the model and rating printed on the engine nameplate can be checked against the record issued for that serial number before shipment, which is the point most buyers of re-rated or re-exported engines want covered.
To receive a quotation, send the exact rating from the matrix above (for example L9CS4-GT1), the machine or application it will drive, the quantity, and the destination port. If the rating you need is not listed, send the model and the required output and we will confirm whether it belongs to this family or to a neighbouring one.
Buyer tip: Send your L9CS4 specification, quantity and destination port for a verified quotation and lead time.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the power range of the L9CS4?
The 2 ratings listed on this page run from 308 hp (230 kW) to 331 hp (247 kW), at governed speeds between 252 and 272 rpm.
What is the difference between L9CS4-GT2 and L9CS4-GT1?
L9CS4-GT2 is rated 230 kW (308 hp) at 252 rpm, while L9CS4-GT1 is rated 247 kW (331 hp) at 272 rpm. They use the same base engine; the higher rating is the one to specify when the driven load needs the extra torque at the lower speed.
Which emissions tiers are available for the L9CS4?
The ratings on this page are listed as 国四. Emissions tier is part of the rating definition, so state the tier your market requires when you request a quotation.
How is a L9CS4 rating ordered?
Send the exact rating shown in the model selection table, the application it will drive, the quantity and the destination port. The engine is then quoted against that rating and confirmed against its nameplate and load-test record.
At what speed is the L9CS4 rated?
The ratings on this page are governed at 252 and 272 rpm. Rated speed fixes the speed the driven machine sees through its gearing, so confirm the governed speed before ordering rather than relying on the power figure alone.
Is the L9CS4 a complete engine or a generator set?
Every entry on this page is a complete engine. Generator sets and packaged gen-sets are listed separately from this family and are not included here.
