Benefits & Features
Why Electric Drive?
Cat® mechanical drive trucks are the standard of the industry and are favored in most applications. Some customers, however, may prefer electric drive for specific applications and situations.
100% Caterpillar
Designed and manufactured by Caterpillar, the 795 is the first AC electric drive truck that is single sourced from one manufacturer and supported with the best dealer network in the industry. The 795 power train works seamlessly with the C-175 engine and offers you unsurpassed Safety, Serviceability and Performance.
Modular Design for Excellent Serviceability
The modular design allows you easy removal and installation of components. The engine, generator, motors, inverter, grid, and final drives can be removed independently. The rear mounted generator results in better chassis weight balance and is connected to the engine with an isolated drive shaft making generator alignment simple.
Superior Control Yields Excellent Operator Confidence
The Cat AC drive system gives you the best retarding, braking, and control in the industry. Class leading dynamic retarding coupled with full time traction control with automatic front brake blending at all speeds provides operators with superior control and confidence.
High Voltage – Lower Heat
The Cat AC drive is a high voltage system (2,600 volts) that operates at relatively low current. The result is lower heat generation and longer component life.
The Cat AC Electric Drive in Propel
The C175-16 diesel engine drives the rear mounted generator through an isolation coupler. The AC power is rectified to a nominal 2,600 volts to form the DC link. The DC link supplies power to the inverter where IGBT’s convert the DC signal to 3-phase AC to drive the traction motors. Motor output drives the wheels through a double reduction final drive.
Cat AC Electric Drive in Retard
During retarding the wheel motors become generators. Motor power is fed back through the DC link. The power is fed to the contactor and chopper circuits and then exhausted through the radial grid. An AC fan blows air across the grid to dissipate the power and control retarding speed.
Generator/Alternator
The chassis mounted 795F AC traction generator is a three phase, two bearing design. The excitation system is brushless which has longer maintenance intervals than brush type systems.
Inverter
The inverter uses Mitsubishi Electric IGBT Phase Modules to control the rimpull, direction and speed of the truck. Mitsubishi Electric is the leader in IGBT Technology.
Traction Motors
Each traction motor is a 3-phase AC induction type. The high voltage, low current motor is mounted to the rear axle and is trolley capable.
Radial Grid
The radial design grid sits well back on the deck giving operators excellent visibility to the right side. The grid features the highest retarding power in the industry.
Variable Blower Cooling
Cooling air is provided by a variable flow system that adjusts cooling flow to the needs of the system. This allows maximum power to the motors for excellent propel performance.
Additional Features
The grid dry function dries the grid quickly in inclement weather. The anti-rollback feature prevents the machine from moving in a direction opposite the operator’s intent. Grid power is continuously monitored. Front brake blending prevents grid overheating.

Industry Leading Dynamic Retarding
The radial grid is rated at 4.75 MW (6,365 hp) – allowing you excellent control of the truck speed in long retarding applications. The radial design is light, efficient and quiet.
Four Corner Oil Cooled Brakes for Additional Retarding
In addition to class leading dynamic retarding – Cat four corner, oil cooled service brakes give additional retarding capability. These are the same sized brakes used on the 797. The 795 offers exceptional non-fade braking and supplemental retarding at all speeds.
Traction Control with Automatic Front Brake Blending
If the truck senses any slip – the front brakes will automatically engage. The addition of front braking keeps the truck moving in the intended direction and the operator in control. This blended braking capability is an industry first and has been enthusiastically received by operators. In addition, the operator can select full time front brake blending.
Automatic Retarding Control
Operator controlled – ARC engages automatically and maintains speed consistently. A simple toggle switch is used to adjust retarding speed.
Control to Prevent Exceeding Retarding Capability
Built into the software is a Grid Thermal Calculator that constantly monitors power to the grid. When dynamic retarding capability is exceeded the mechanical brakes are blended in automatically. This will continue as long as necessary. Often this is a transient condition. The operator is alerted to take corrective action if this continues. The brake blending is smooth and seamless.
Brake Design
Cat oil cooled brakes are designed with large discs and plates for reliable and adjustment free operation. They are enclosed and sealed to prevent contamination and provide long life.
Parking Brake
The oil cooled, spring applied, hydraulically released parking brake on all wheels provide superior parking capability on grades up to 15%.
Anti-Rollback
Automatically applies service brakes to prevent the truck from rolling from a stop opposite the intended direction of travel.
