Caterpillar electric power stands for reliable energy supply. Especially during the energy system transformation, Cat generator sets close the energy gap caused by renewable energy source such as wind and photo voltaic. Short ramp up time, low operating costs and rapid maintenance times ensures a high availability according to the need of our customers. Combined heat /cool and power solutions allow our customers to maximize the efficiency and earnings paired with low emissions. The CM46DF 50 and 60 Hz, 6, 7, 8, or 9 cylinder inline, turbocharged-aftercooled generator set, is designed for Ultrafast start time and load acceptance, low fuel and oil consumption requiring low maintenance. With reduced complexity of standard modular design and low space requirements between generator sets allows for easy installation. Producing reliable power from 5,290 to 7,930 kWe, each generator set has been designed to meet World Bank (WB) Emission Certification Stage 2. Wherever power is needed around the globe, Caterpillar is able to support you with the best products and services to maximize your profit.
