 C15 ACERT

ENGINE
Reliable Cat ACERT diesel engines power these generator sets that deliver industry-leading fuel
efficiency and product life. Industrial capacity (approximately 10, 25 and 35 dBA reduction) engine
silencer is supplied loose. Service points are positioned for safe, easy access. All generator sets
are shipped with engine oil and coolant.

GUARDS
Features complete heavy-gauge steel guarding
with access hatches to all rotating parts, including
cooling fan, charging alternator and drive belts.
Optional exhaust manifold and turbocharger guards
are also available, if required.

STARTER MOTOR, ALTERNATOR, BATTERIES AND CABLES

All generator sets include industry-leading, high-capacity,
maintenance-free batteries, battery rack (mounted on the tank
base) and heavy-duty interconnecting cables with terminations.

VIBRATION ISOLATORS
Rubber pad anti-vibration mountings isolate tank base
and control tower from engine/generator assembly.

TANK BASE
Tank base incorporates enhanced lifting and mounting points. Anti-vibration pads affixed
between the engine/generator feet and base isolate rotating parts. Welded integral steel
tank base is standard. Optional dual wall steel tank base for total fluid containment is
available with enclosed sets and an optional narrow skid base is available for open sets.

A sleek design with superior functionality — Cat C13 ACERT, C15 ACERT and C18 ACERT generator sets.
Built compactly and self-contained, they’re even easier to own and operate. Added features include a
re-designed tank base with a spill containment system.

RUNNING TIME
Our redesigned fuel tank delivers improved performance, serviceability, and maintenance access with maximum
generator set running time.

ADVANCED DESIGN
We’ve made it easier to upgrade our generator sets with smaller, segmented modular power and control systems.
We used preformed braided copper connections, standard length alternator and breaker options, and have given you
flexibility in where you mount your breaker box. Our tower features a removable top section, the Automatic Voltage
Regulatory (AVR) is in the lower section for easy adjusting, and all Mate-n-Lock connections are standard.

WIRING
The loom terminates at control panel with industrial-grade
FILTERS multi-pin connector. Mechanically held plug and socket
Disposable air filter, optional canister type attachments provide fast, convenient inspection and replacement
with single or dual element. All air filters of systems. Looms are “keyed” to prevent incorrect installation.
incorporate a service indicator. Oil and fuel
filters are replaceable canister-type.
CONTROL PANEL

Standard EMCP4.2 control panel is fully equipped

with all necessary engine gauges, AC meters, and
warnings, providing expanded generator set protection
and monitoring. Additional monitoring and expansion
modules provide control and protection for critical
installations and applications.
CIRCUIT BREAKERS
Fully rated mainline circuit breaker housed in vibration-
isolated sheet steel enclosure, with removable cover plate,
mounted integrally with generator set. Oversized electrical
stub-up area is located directly below circuit breaker and
can be terminated both vertically and horizontally.

DOCUMENT HOLDER
Durable plastic container provides a
convenient location for manuals and
maintenance documents for reference.
VOLTAGE REGULATOR
Improved load acceptance with R450; testing
C18 ACERT showed better performance than VR6 predecessor.
Fully sealed regulator accurately maintains load
voltage at +0.5 percent from no load to full load.

GENERATOR/ALTERNATOR
Advanced Cat self-exciting, self-regulating brushless generators are built for extended,
dependable life. Features include fully interconnected damper windings, cooling systems,
sealed bearings, Class H insulation and 2/3 pitch with THF <2% and TIF <50.

 ENGINEERING WITH
YOU IN MIND. High ambient and sound-attenuated enclosures
reduce operational noises. And we’ve built our
generators not just for peace and quiet but peace
of mind, constructed with materials to endure the
harshest environments. Generator sets consist of
corrosion-resistant galvanized steel components
and are finished with scratch- and rust-resistant
powder-coated paint, along with robust thermoplastic
corner posts. For added protection, the package has
been designed with an all-round, overhanging base
frame. • Protect your power source with a locking
control panel viewing window, and locking access
doors for the fuel fill and battery. • We’ve even made
servicing your generator set easier with oversized
cable access, an oversized rear door for panel
access, and purpose-designed improved dragging
and jacking points in the base with an integral
C18 ACERT lifting frame (C13 ACERT and C15 ACERT only).

INTEGRAL LIFTING FRAME (C13 ACERT AND C15 ACERT ONLY)

Frame is designed to lift the entire generator set from
the center of the unit, and has been tested to lift four
times the maximum possible weight configuration.

WATER INGRESS PROTECTION

Improved roof panel design seals lap joints with adhesive gasket
strips on each side of the joint to prevent water ingress through roof.

DOOR LATCHES
Rotational compression door latches
providing positive door sealing by pulling
the door inward to compress the seal.

BASE FRAME
Along with the addition of easier to use drag points,
the base frame has been redesigned with a 1 degree
slope to contain all accidental oil, coolant and fuel
spillages, as well as drain fuel. C13 ACERT/C15 ACERT

NOISE ABSORPTION
Design ingenuity and noise absorbent materials have further improved the effectiveness of our sound attenuated
enclosures, typically by 3 dBA at 1 meter (3 feet) and 7 meters (23 feet).

INTERNAL EXHAUST SILENCER SYSTEM

The internal silencer system enhances generator set safety, aesthetics and silencer life. We’re keeping hot exhaust
pipes out of reach and the silencer out of the elements.

SOUND ATTENUATION
Sound attenuated enclosures, typically less than 73 dBA at 7 meters (23 feet), are available on our C13 ACERT,
C15 ACERT and C18 ACERT generator sets.

CONVENIENT ACCESS
We’ve made the customer connection fully accessible with a hinged top section on the tower control panel and the AVR
easy to get to with a lower access panel. Removable aluminum gland plates give you full cable access from vertical or
horizontal locations with a bend radius eight times the outer diameter of the cable. Install fuel pipes through dedicated
access holes, located on the same side as the optional fuel transfer pump, to connect to a remote bulk tank. • We built in
base frame jacking points and “tear drop” drag points to help streamline shackle fitting and removal, and an integrated
lifting frame (C13 ACERT and C15 ACERT only) for easier handling — making machine upkeep easier on you.

CORROSION AND DAMAGE RESISTANCE

Our generator sets were built to last — and we believe their frame should be too. All are constructed from a highly
corrosion-resistant, galvanized steel. The new generator sets also feature zinc phosphate and polyester powder
coating. Even the corner posts are composed of high-grade UV stable engineering thermoplastic.

AMBIENT CAPABILITY
High ambient enclosures are available for operation in up to 50°C (122°F) environments. These are available for
our C13 ACERT, C15 ACERT and C18 ACERT generator sets.

SEALS
Sloping door seals above doors prevent water collection
and create a better seal against inclement weather.

CONTROL PANELS
New generator sets are fitted with the latest EMCP4
control panels, which provide additional capability to
monitor generator set performance.

ELECTRICAL CABLES
Cables have been reconfigured and rerouted to avoid any
unnecessary cross routing. All cables are direct and double
bolted to avoid double braiding and prevent braid turning.

SERVICEABILITY
Removable front panel, large rear door and removable rear inlet ducts provide
easier access to cooling system, silencer, control box and alternator. These changes
reduce the time necessary to maintain the unit and ensure proper performance.

DAMAGE PROTECTION
Added base frame overhangs all around the enclosure protect
during transit. Corner posts are made of high-grade thermoplastic,
which is weather resistant and UV stable.
