CAT Diesel Generators
CAT DIESEL generators provide STANDBY power for EMERGENCIES.
With power blackouts increasing at a rate of 124 percent in the United States over the past decade, more and more business entities are turning to standby power solutions. Caterpillar stands at the forefront of diesel and heavy-equipment manufacturing, and its generators provide the most-reliable on-site power available.
BLACKOUTS are both a GRID and natural-DISASTER phenomenon.
Although man-made drains on the power grid can cause it to fail at periods of peak usage, natural disasters - from hurricanes to severe winter storms - also contribute to the instability of electric power for any business. Along with the tornados, flooding, earthquakes, and other large-scale random activities related to climate and the weather, an event as simple as a car accident can affect power in an area for hours, sometimes days. As a hedge against the unexpected, many businesses are looking to standby generators to keep their operations running when the power grid falters.
Choosing USED backup from CAT couldn't be easier.
Choosing to install backup from Cat diesel generators is particularly convenient whether a product is new or used. This is because installation and service support are readily available via Caterpillar's national network of established dealers. A 10 kW CAT generator can power a small business of rough dimensions 1200 to 1600 square feet. A 27 kW unit should power a small to medium-sized building of square footage 5600 to 7400. Move to 130 kW - and you typically have a machine sufficient to operate a 7500 to 8000 square foot restaurant or food retailer. The same generator should also meet the standby needs of a warehouse or non-food retail establishment within the range of 19000 to 20000 square feet. Large businesses operate almost exclusively on three-phase power, while a small company may require single-phase output. An electrician can be your best friend when it comes to deciding on a Cat diesel generators unit for any application.
Evaluating the FUEL type and operating RPM of CAT DIESEL generators.
The low-rpm motor is the best choice for urban or residential use because reduced engine speed can significantly limit decibels. In addition to diesel generators, CAT offers gas-powered units - so it pays to consider the plusses and minuses of each potential fuel source available for an application, its shelf life and its cost.
Diesel generator features are NUMEROUS and VARIED.
Look for industry leading features to make your purchase a smart one. Climate protection is key when it comes to enduring adverse weather. Since CAT diesel generators are available in open-skid and enclosed configurations, how and where a generator will be used is critical. A sound-insulated housing is indispensable for outdoor urban or suburban settings. Because they disdain rust, aluminum enclosures are a good choice for humid areas. Rubber-mounted engines provide vibration control, which will also help curb noise levels. Features such as electronic governors, liquid cooling, rotating-field brushless alternators, and cast iron heads will contribute to overall quality of a generator unit from any manufacturer.
PREPARING for disaster an excellent IDEA IN these ECONOMIC times.
In the nineteen-fifties, businesses were primarily local. Most catered to customers from a nearby and limited geographic area. This is no longer so true. Many modern companies operate on a national or global scale. A business from the nineteen-fifties may have been able to shut down during an emergency or outage without sacrificing large amounts of revenue. On the other hand, many modern enterprises must prepare for disaster to maintain productivity and protect the profit margin. Standby power, on site and ready to respond in a crisis, will ensure that your enterprise remains up and running when it's needed.
