C9 Generator Set
Electric Power

The four cycle Cat diesel engine combines consistent performance with excellent fuel economy and transient
response that meets or exceeds ISO 8528-5. The engines have been designed and built for a wide range of
applications and can be optimized for low fuel consumption or low emissions. The engines feature a reliable,
rugged, and durable design that has been field proven in thousands of applications worldwide from emergency
standby installations to continuously operating power plants.
Cooling System
The cooling system has been designed to operate in standard ambient temperatures up to 50°C (122°F) with an
air flow restriction of 0.5 in water. The factory installed cooling system has been designed and tested to ensure
proper generator set cooling, and includes the radiator, fan, belts, and all guarding installed as standard. Contact
your Cat Dealer for specific ambient and altitude capabilities.
Generators
The generators used on Cat packages have been designed and tested to work with the Cat engine. The
generators are built with robust Class H insulation and provide industry leading motor starting capability. They
provide high efficiency in a majority of applications and optional coastal protection for the windings is available for
harsh environments.
Cat EMCP Control Panel
The EMCP controller features the reliability and durability you have come to expect from your Cat equipment.
EMCP4 is a scalable control platform designed to ensure reliable generator set operation, providing extensive
information about power output and engine operation. EMCP4 systems can be further customized to meet your
needs through programming and expansion modules.
World Wide Product Support
Cat Dealers provide extensive post sale support including maintenance and repair agreements. Cat dealers have

DEFINITIONS AND CONDITIONS

1. For ambient and altitude capabilities consult your Cat dealer. Air flow restriction (system) is added to existing
restriction from factory.

2. UL 2200 Listed packages may have oversized generators with a different temperature rise and motor starting
characteristics. Generator temperature rise is based on a 40° C ambient per NEMA MG1-32.

3. Emissions data measurement procedures are consistent with those described in EPA CFR 40 Part 89, Subpart D &
E and ISO8178-1 for measuring HC, CO, PM, 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.
