The GeneratorJoe Model 20 CPM is a Centurion "PM"™ Series generator with 20 kW (25 kVA) 60 Hz, of maximum output. These industrial generators are suitable for prime power and standby use.

These Centurion "PM" Power Mobile generators are installed on custom built trailers specially designed and built for transporting GeneratorJoe generator sets with maximum safety at highway speeds. GeneratorJoe provides generators from 20 kW up to 500 kW and are powered by Perkins, John Deere and IVECO, EPA certified engines. These Power Mobile units are complete and ready to run generator sets with DOT rated integral tank trailers with fuel tanks..

Standard equipment includes a critical grade exhaust silencer, battery, oil, anti-freeze and full output circuit breaker. The standard analog control panel provides full instrumentation with voltmeter, frequency meter, percent of load meter, oil pressure gauge, hour meter, coolant temperature gauge, fuel level gauge, and battery voltmeter. The controller also provides a safety shutdown system. Advanced digital control panels are available as an option. Note: This series requires the buyer to select a control panel from the Control Panel Option Window. You can choose from analog or digital control panels. All models include auto start and remote start.

Single phase models are available as 120/240 VAC. Three phase models are available as 120/240, 120/208 or 277/480 VAC. If 50 Hz models are available they would be built as a special order. For 50 Hz voltage and amperage ratings, click on the Open Specification Window and then check the 50 Hz check box.

Note: This series offers a voltage selection switch so that you can use any voltages available on one trailerized unit. Changing the switch position (while engine is not running), allows the user to select from any of the single and three phase voltages shown above. The buyer can also select any one voltage (single or three phase), to create a dedicated voltage generator.


This model has economical fuel use of 0.92 gallons at 1/2 load. Running time is over 81.5 hours on a typical tank. See Fuel Tanks below.

Enclosures: Weather and sound proof enclosures, are built using steel panels and locking doors on a modular structural base frame. Sound enclosures include a rock-wool layer of insulation, which complies with the prevailing regulations and accomplishes the sound attenuating elements. Most enclosures include hot ambient air extraction fan. Select an enclosure from the Product Options windows. Note: This series requires a minimum of a weather enclosure, these units cannot be built on trailers without enclosures. For additional enclosure information click on Enclosure Details in the Additional Information area below.

Fuel Tanks: A double walled (UL) tank is installed in the trailer provided. Custom and auxiliary tanks are available..

Transfer Switches: The automatic transfer switch monitors utility and generator power. When utility power fails or is unsatisfactory, the transfer switch control starts the generator set, checks the generator speed and voltage output and transfers the load to the generator set. When utility power is restored the transfer switch automatically transfers back to utility power. The generator is allowed to cool down for a short period and then shuts down. The system instantly resets itself and is ready for the next power interruption. No action is required by the user.

You must select a transfer switch that is the same size in amps (or larger) then your building service or sub-panel. The transfer switch must also be the same size in amps (or larger) than the maximum output of the generator you select. Example: If you have a 12 kW generator operating at 120 VAC single phase, (100 Amps) and a 200 amp building service you need a 200 Amp transfer switch or you must install a 100 Amp sub-panel. Transfer switches should be installed by a licensed electrician. For more information on transfer switches please see About Transfer Switches.

Select a transfer switch to go with your generator from the drop down option list at the top of this page under Product Options. The transfer switches shown are compatible with this generator. If you need additional transfer switch poles, auxiliary contacts or communications features, ASCO Transfer Switches. For special needs, volume purchases and other questions, call your GeneratorJoe sales representative at 707 539-9003 for assistance. All ASCO switches are shipped FREE when you purchase the switch with a generator.
