Integration ensures equipment is pre-configured to work together for optimum performance. By choosing a single supplier, you also benefit by having one point of contact for all of your support services: financing and insurance options, operator training, routine testing and maintenance, and service contracts and emergency response.

Generator sets

Cat generator sets have a proven reputation in a variety of electric power markets for delivering consistent performance, durability, reliability and economy in some of the world’s most grueling conditions. Cat diesel generator sets (7kW to 16,200kW) and gas-powered generator sets (9kW to 6,000kW) are designed for thousands of hours of life before overhaul and deliver low owning and operating costs, outstanding serviceability and total reliability.

With proven durability and outstanding performance, Cat generator sets are widely used in the power market.

Cat switchgear combines generator set function, control and monitoring into one package, and can be used for a wide range of applications.

Cat uninterruptible power supply systems with built-in flywheel-based technology provide critical support when switching from utility power to a standby generator set.

Cat diesel-fueled generator sets with ACERT™ Technology provide emissions compliance without sacrificing performance, while Cat gas generator sets offer the flexibility to utilize natural gas and alternative fuels, including landfill gas, coal mine methane, biogas, digester gas and syngas.

Automatic transfer switches (ATS)

Caterpillar offers a broad range of contactor- and breaker-based automatic transfer switch (ATS) products with digital micro processor controls. Products include open and closed transition designs in sizes from 40A to 4,000A, all available with optional bypass / isolation and delayed features.

Switchgear

From standby / load management to multiple-unit utility paralleling configurations, Cat switchgear supplies a complete system solution by integrating elements of generator set function, control and monitoring in a single-source package. Available from 600V class through 15kV, all Cat switchgear is UL/CSA listed and IEEE 1547 compliant.

Uninterruptible power supply (UPS)

The highly efficient Cat uninterruptible power supply (UPS) works to support critical loads during the transition period from utility power to a standby generator set. Ranging from 120kVA to 8,400kVA, Cat UPS systems are available in single module and parallel configurations.

Rental power units

For temporary power needs, Cat rental power solutions range from 8kW units to 2MW power modules with utility-grade switchgear, all the way up to 5.2MW turbines. All units are self-contained, mobile power solutions housed in protective enclosures that incorporate sound attenuation and fuel containment. The units come complete and can be mounted on trailers for easy delivery and quick connection.
