Perkins 2206A-E13TAG3 Diesel Engine 400-438KVA |1500/1800rpm

The 2206A-E13TAG3 is a 12.5-litre six-cylinder ElectropaK diesel engine from the Perkins 2200 Series, developed on a proven heavy-duty industrial base and purpose-built for prime and standby power generation in the 400–438 KVA output range. It is suited to data centres, industrial facilities, mining operations, and critical infrastructure projects demanding reliable power across 50 Hz and 60 Hz grids. The TAG3 delivers a meaningful step up in prime power output over the TAG2 while retaining the same 2200 Series platform architecture, with the added capability of field-switchable frequency to reduce inventory complexity for OEMs and distributors serving both 50 Hz and 60 Hz markets.

Build List & Series Compatibility

2206A-E13TAG3 Build List

Both Build Lists refer to the same engine specification. The difference is production batch only — parts compatibility is identical across both designations.

2206 E13TAG3 Series — Generation Index

All three generations produce identical power output at the same speed and rating. Generation differences relate to emissions compliance level, not power performance. If your genset frame was built for the 2206A platform, confirm engine mount and flywheel housing dimensions before substituting a C or D generation unit.

Build List Identification Guide

The Build List is stamped on the engine nameplate, mounted on the rocker cover or timing case. Locate the dataplate and read the alphanumeric string beginning with TGD or TGDF.

Nameplate fields to record before ordering:
· Build List (e.g. TGDF5013 or TGD5013)
· Engine Serial Number (ESN)
· Rated speed (1500 or 1800 rpm)
Provide both the Build List and ESN when requesting a quote. This allows us to confirm exact specification match before order commitment.

FAQ

Q1: What is the prime power output of the 2206A-E13TAG3?

Net prime power is 349 kW (468 hp) at both 1500 rpm and 1800 rpm. Standby ratings are 392 kW (526 hp) at 1500 rpm and 381 kW (511 hp) at 1800 rpm.

Q2: Does the 2206A-E13TAG3 support both 50 Hz and 60 Hz operation?

Yes. The engine is designed for switchable operation between 50 Hz/1500 rpm and 60 Hz/1800 rpm, allowing a single engine to serve both grid frequency markets.

Q3: What is the Build List for the 2206A-E13TAG3?

The Build List prefix is TGDF. The full Build List reference used in our documentation is TGDF5013. Confirm this prefix on your engine nameplate before ordering parts.

Q4: What does the "A" in 2206A-E13TAG3 mean?

The "A" denotes the Fuel Optimised (unregulated) emissions tier within the 2206-E13TAG3 power segment. "C" indicates Tier 2 and "D" indicates Tier 3. All variants share the same power output and are parts-compatible within the same Build List group.

Q5: What is the difference between the TAG2 and TAG3?

The TAG3 produces 349 kW net prime power versus 313 kW for the TAG2 — an increase of approximately 11%. The TAG3 also supports 1800 rpm/60 Hz operation. Both share the same 2200 Series 6-cylinder 12.5L platform.

Q6: What is the fuel consumption of the 2206A-E13TAG3 at various load levels?

At 1500 rpm prime, fuel consumption at 100% load is 197 g/kWh, reducing to 199 g/kWh at 75% and 202 g/kWh at 50%. At 1800 rpm prime, figures are 196 g/kWh (100%), 199 g/kWh (75%), and 205 g/kWh (50%). Note that fuel consumption data is engine-rated and actual genset consumption will vary with installation and ambient conditions.

Q7: What is the dry weight of the 2206A-E13TAG3 ElectropaK?

Dry weight is 1478 kg (3258 lb). Overall dimensions are 1725 × 2410 × 1120 mm (H × L × W).

Q8: Is this engine available with emissions-compliant variants for regulated markets?

Yes. The 2206C-E13TAG3 (Tier 2) and 2206D-E13TAG3 (Tier 3) are available for markets with emissions requirements. Contact us with your destination country and application for variant selection guidance.
