TECHNICAL DATA
Frame 593
Temperature Rise °C (F°) 105 (221)
1
Ambient capability at 300 m (984 ft) above sea level. For ambient capability at other altitudes, consult your Caterpillar
dealer. Air flow restriction (system) is added to existing restriction from factory. Generator temperature rise is based on a
40° C (104° F) ambient per NEMA MG1-32.

Emissions data measurement procedures are consistent with those described in EPA CFR 40 Part 89, Subpart D & E
3
and ISO8178-1 for measuring HC, CO, PM, and NOx. Data shown is based on steady state operating conditions of 77°F,
28.42 in. HG and number 2 diesel fuel with 35° API and LHV of 18,390 btu/lb. The nominal emissions data shown is
subject to instrumentation, measurement, facility, and engine-to-engine variations. Emissions data is based on 100% load
and thus cannot be used to compare to EPA regulations which use values based on a weighted cycle.

For the 455, 500, and 545 ekW generator set a 600 volt generator shall be available as SE, without a voltage regulator.
Optional Generator
The 480 volt generator shall be PM for the same ratings. The SCR optional generator is for drill rig applications and the
VFD optional generators are for variable frequency down-hole pump and single-unit drilling. The Multiple VFD generators
should be developed if the generator costs do not exceed 5% compared to the single VFD generator development costs.
