Specifications

OVERVIEW

Producing reliable power from 320 ekW to 500 ekW at 60Hz, our C15 ACERT® diesel generator sets are built for standby and prime applications and built to your power standards. Each are engineered to ISO 8528-5 transient response requirements and designed to accept 100 percent rated load in one step. Our C15 generator sets range from low fuel consumption systems to EPA Tier 4 Interim certification. We plan for the unpredictable, which is why all models are made to meet seismic certification. Our integrated control system, including Cat® UPS, ATS and switchgear, keeps your power constant and keeps you connected to your fleet with on-site and remote monitoring capabilities. Access management and diagnostics tools with our easy to use EMCP 4 control panels, which provide expandable functionality from basic generator set monitoring, control, and protection to full multi gen paralleling. We offer accessories and bolt-on system expansion attachments to help you meet specific power needs. Flexible packaging options work with your spatial restrictions and climate. Even select from UL 2200 and CSA certified packages for added safety.

Cat EMCP Control Panel

The EMCP controller features the reliability and durability you have come to expect from your Cat equipment. EMCP4 is a scalable control platform designed to ensure reliable generator set operation, providing extensive information about power output and engine operation. EMCP4 systems can be further customized to meet your needs through programming and expansion modules.

Seismic Certification

Seismic Certification available.

Anchoring details are site specific, and are dependent on many factors such as generator set size, weight, and concrete strength.

IBC Certification requires that the anchoring system used is reviewed and approved by a Professional Engineer

Seismic Certification per Applicable Building Codes: IBC 2000, IBC 2003, IBC 2006, IBC 2009, CBC 2007, CBC 2010

Pre-approved by OSHPD and carries an OSP-0321-10 for use in healthcare projects in California

World Wide Product Support

Cat dealers provide extensive post-sale support including maintenance and repair agreements. Cat dealers have over 1,800 dealer branch stores operating in 200 countries. The Caterpillar S•O•S℠ program cost effectively detects internal engine component condition, even the presence of unwanted fluids and combustion by-products

Design Criteria

The generator set accepts 100% rated load in one step per NFPA 110 and meets ISO 8528-5 transient response.
