Perkins 2206C-E13TAG3 6-Cylinder Turbocharged Aftercooled Diesel Engine

The 2206C-E13TAG3 is a 6-cylinder, turbocharged, air-to-air aftercooled ElectropaK engine built on Perkins' heavy-duty industrial platform, positioned for prime and standby power generation applications requiring 400 kVA-class output. It uses mechanically actuated unit fuel injectors with electronic control (ECM-managed), and supports switchable operation between 50 Hz/1500 rpm and 60 Hz/1800 rpm — both deliver an identical 400 kVA Prime rating, giving OEMs and end users frequency flexibility without a Prime-rating penalty. As the TAG3 power node within the 2206C family, it sits above TAG2 in output and shares core engine architecture across the series.

2206C-E13TAG3 Engine Technical Specifications

2206C-E13TAG3 Engine Power Output

Note: Prime Net output is identical at 1500 rpm and 1800 rpm (349 kW / 400 kVA). Standby ratings differ slightly between the two speeds (450 kVA at 1500 rpm vs. 438 kVA at 1800 rpm).

Build List & Series Compatibility

2206C-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. TGDF5039 or TGD5039)
· 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 does the 2206C-E13TAG3 designation mean?

2206C indicates the engine family and Tier 2 emissions tier; E13 refers to the displacement class; TAG3 denotes the 400 kVA-class power node.

Q2. Can the 2206C-E13TAG3 run at both 1500 rpm and 1800 rpm?

Yes. The engine is switchable between 50 Hz/1500 rpm and 60 Hz/1800 rpm operation, with identical Prime output (349 kW net / 400 kVA) at both speeds.

Q3. What is the difference between TGDF5039 and TGD5039?

TGDF5039 is the original Build List designation and TGD5039 is the updated one; specifications and parts compatibility are identical.

Q4. What is the fuel consumption of the 2206C-E13TAG3?

At 1500 rpm, fuel consumption ranges from 202 g/kWh (ESP) to 218 g/kWh (50% load); at 1800 rpm, it ranges from 200 g/kWh (ESP) to 220 g/kWh (50% load).

Q5. Is the 2206C-E13TAG3 mechanically or electronically controlled?

It uses mechanically actuated unit fuel injectors with electronic control (ECM), combining mechanical injection reliability with electronic fuel management precision.

Q6. What cooling system does this engine use?

A liquid cooling system with 51 L (13.5 US gal) total coolant capacity.

Q7. Are parts for the 2206C-E13TAG3 interchangeable with other 2206 emissions tiers?

Most parts across the 2206 series are interchangeable, including main bearings, connecting rod bearings, and piston assemblies. A small number of parts are not interchangeable due to differences in emissions tier and power node. We still recommend providing the ESN for verification to ensure 100% fitment accuracy.

Q8. What information do I need to request a quote?

Provide the Build List, ESN, required rated speed (1500 or 1800 rpm), and destination port.
