SPEC INFO

Generator TMI is commonly required for generating

set quotations or ensuring the generator used on a

particular generating set will match the planned

application. Many of the sections within generator

TMI are self-explanatory, but some pieces of data

have been explained in greater detail through the

following notes.

Generator Specifications and Efficiency

Duty

Duty (rating type) refers to the package generator set

not the generator. (Eg. Standby, Prime, Prime +10%,

Continuous, Load Management, etc.)

For added information about typical load factor, hours

per year, and typical peak demand, consult:

Package Generator Set Performance Specification in

TMI, or

Engine Data Sheet EDS 70.0.4, "Electric Power

Generation", LEKX1365

Application

Application refers to a particular Marketing Business

Unit

(Eg. EPG (Electric Power Generation), MAR

(Marine), OIL (Petroleum), REN (Rental), etc.).

Frame Designation - Leroy Somer - Lexington

The generator frame designations indicate the relative

output of a series of generators. As the series

number (440, 590, etc.) increases, the generators in

that series have a progressively larger diameter and a

higher output. The last number of each series is a

relative descriptor of the length (and capability) of a

generator within a series. A larger number indicates a

higher output. For example, a 449 generator has a

higher output capability than a 447 generator.

If an "s" appears following the last number, that

generator is an updated offering of a generator frame

series.

In order of power output capability the frame size

designations produced are 360, 440, 450, 490, 580,

590, 680, 690, 800, and 820.

Frame Designation - Leroy Somer - France

The generator frame designation can be decoded as

follows:

Eg. LC6124B

LC is the generator prefix defining the generator type.

61xx refers to the 6100 frame size.

Other frames may include 5000 (50xx), 7000 (70xx),

6/22/22, 12:20 PM Caterpillar Generator Data
etc.

2 refers to the excitation type.

1 = SE - Self Excited or Shunt Excitation

2 = AREP - Auxiliary Winding Regulator Exciter

Principle.

3 = PMG - Permanent Magnet Excitation

4 refers to the number of poles.

B refers to the core length.

In general, as the letter code increases, so does the

core length.

(Eg. A "D" core is longer than a "B" core).

Excitation Type

SE (Self Excited)

Voltage regulator and exciter are powered by voltage

from generator output terminals. Excitation relies on

residual magnetism in generator to start producing

generator voltage to power exciter voltage.

AREP (Auxiliary Winding Regulator Exciter Principle)

Self excited generator with separate coils in stator to

generate power for voltage regulator and exciter.

Generators equipped with AREP excitation systems

will sustain 300% of rated armature current for 10

seconds.

PMG (Permanent Magnet Generator)

Small, rotor mounted generator (permanently

magnetized) provides power for voltage regulator and

exciter. Generators equipped with PMG excitation

systems will sustain 300% of rated armature current

for 10 seconds.

Production Status

Production status for a generator is shown as: CURR

(CURRent in Price List), CNPL (Current but Not Price

Listed), or CANC (CANCeled).

Version Code

Version code is used internally to track the history of

printed data.

Connection Type

Star (or WYE)

4, 6, 10, 12 lead design. 120 degree phase angle, 3

phase.

Closed Delta

6 or 12 lead generator, three-phase output. Phase

coil groups connected in a triangular fashion. May be

high voltage range (12 lead, series connected) or low

voltage range (12 lead, parallel connected). For a

given generator, this connection provides a lower

voltage as compared with a star or wye connection.

Open Delta

6 or 12 lead generator, single-phase output only -

also known as "zig-zag". May be high voltage range

(12 lead, series connected) or low voltage range (12

lead, parallel connected). Provides line-to-line voltage

connection and line-to-neutral (50% of L-L)

https://tmiwebclassic.cat.com/tmi/servlet/TMIDirector?Action=openwindow&log=genXmlData&type=RNGenDataRefNum&refno=&selection=&unitTyp… 9/14
6/22/22, 12:20 PM Caterpillar Generator Data
Double Delta

12 lead generator, single-phase output. The outer coil

groups are connected as in a 6 wire delta: the inner

coil groups are also connected as in a six wire delta,

and both of the two small deltas are connected in

series. Line-to-line voltage will be double that of the

line-to-neutral voltage. Usually results in a high

generator derate.

Series Connection

Generator coils are connected in series to deliver full

generator rated voltage. May apply to three phase or

single phase output.

Parallel Connection

Generator coils are connected in parallel to deliver

50% of the series connected voltage. May apply to

three phase or single phase output.

Leads

Most generator outputs are delivered as flexible leads

(conductors). Each lead represents a specific internal

generator connection point. Generator stator output

leads are usually marked T1, T2, T3, ..etc., per

NEMA MG-1 practices. The individual phases are

normally referred to as Phase A, Phase B, and

Phase C.

If IEC Standard 60034, or British Standard

BS4999/5000, is being followed, the three phases are

designated as U, V, and W.

Generators may be 4 lead, 6 lead, 10 lead, or 12 lead

Single-phase generators may have leads marked L1,

or L2 (T1, or T2).

Wires Per Lead

Many generators have more than one conductor

that comprises a "lead". The conductors are

known as "wires", and are individually marked

to show their lead designation. A 12 lead

generator may have 48 wires (4 wires per lead).

For the generator output, all like designated

wires must be connected together as one lead.

Generator Winding Type

Random Wound

Generator stator is manufactured with round

conductors randomly placed within each coil and coil

group. A robust, low cost production technique for

generators not placed in extremely harsh

environments, or designed for medium voltage.

Random Wound - Dual Wound

The generator has two sets of random wound coils

that provide two, three-phase voltages without

reconnection. This design is used primarily on

smaller Rental packages.

Form Wound

Generator stator is manufactured with square

conductors precisely placed within each coil and coil

group. For especially harsh environments, specific

applications, or medium voltage applications.

6/22/22, 12:20 PM Caterpillar Generator Data

Generator Pitch

Generator pitch is calculated by the following

formula:

PITCH = (COIL THROW minus 1), divided by

(NUMBER OF SLOTS divided by NUMBER OF

POLES).

EXAMPLE: A 96 slot generator has a coil throw of

21, and is a 4 pole machine.

Pitch = (Coil Throw -1)/ (No of slots/no of poles)

Pitch = (21-1)/(96/4)

Pitch = 20/24 = 0.8333

For added information on "pitch" see:

Engine Data Sheet EDS 70.4, "Generator Winding

Pitch and Harmonics", LEKX3115

Flywheel Interface

If two digits appear, the first numeric field is

understood to be "5".

For example, a "14" flywheel interface is the same as

the standard SAE designation "514" flywheel

interface. In some cases, the three-digit codes are

still being used.

Flywheel Housing

The standard SAE flywheel housing interface number

is shown (Eg. #0, #00, #1, etc.)

Generator Efficiency - NEMA

Generator efficiency is the percentage of engine

flywheel (or other prime mover) power that is

converted into electrical output. The generator

efficiency shown is calculated by the summation of

all losses method, and is determined in accordance

with IEEE Std. 115.

The efficiency considers only the generator. There is

no consideration of engine or parasitic losses here.

Generator Efficiency - IEC

Generator efficiency is the percentage of engine

flywheel (or other prime mover) power that is

converted into electrical output. The generator

efficiency shown is calculated by the summation of

all losses method.

The efficiency considers only the generator. There is

no consideration of engine or parasitic losses here.

those prescribed by IEC60034.

MECHANICAL

Center of Gravity

The specified center of gravity is for the generator

only. For single bearing generators, and two bearing close coupled gen

erators, X is measured from the generator to flywheel housing interfa

ce, parallel to the rotor. Forward, towards the engine is positive. To

relate to 03 in many package generator set drawings, it will be neces

sary to add the flywheel housing thickness (relative to the rear face

of the engine block) to the X dimension for the generator.

For two bearing, standalone generators (not directly bolted to the fly

wheel housing of an engine), X is measured from the end of the generat

or rotor shaft (drive end), and parallel to the generator rotor. Forwa

rd, towards the engine, is positive. To relate to 03 in a package gene

rator set drawing it will be necessary to add the distance from the en

d of the rotor shaft to the rear face of the block.

For all generators, Y is measured vertically from the rotor center lin

e. Up is positive. The Y measurement may also be known as 01 on many p

ackage general dimension drawings.

For all generators, Z is measured from the generator rotor center line

but as viewed from above. Distances from the rotor center line and to

the right of the generator are positive. The Z measurement may also b

e known as 02 on many package general dimension drawings.

Rotor Balance

Per NEMA MG-1:

For 1500RPM to 2999RPM generators, the vibration

of synchronous generators will not exceed 0.002

inches (0.0508mm) peak-to-peak deflection.

For 1000RPM to 1499RPM generators, the vibration

of synchronous generators will not exceed 0.0025

inches (0.0635mm) peak-to-peak deflection.

Generator Torsional Data

Torsional information is provided to facilitate Torsional

Vibration Analysis (TVA) calculations on generating

set packages.

COOLING DATA

Generator Cooling Requirements - Temperature

- Insulation Data

Heat Dissipated - Generator Only

The amount of heat dissipated shown represents the

amount energy that will be delivered to the area

surrounding the generator through the cooling fan,

through heat radiation, and conduction during steady

state generator operation at the rating selected.

Air Flow - Generator only

The cooling airflow shown is the maximum expected

airflow the generator will deliver. Any air flow

reduction may result in higher internal temperatures,

or require a derate of the generator output capability.

Thermal Limits of Generator

The generator thermal limits table indicates the

various kVA ratings at which the generator

https://tmiwebclassic.cat.com/tmi/servlet/TMIDirector?Action=openwindow&log=genXmlData&type=RNGenDataRefNum&refno=&selection=&unitTy… 12/14
6/22/22, 12:20 PM Caterpillar Generator Data
temperature rise meets the predefined IEC/NEMA

insulation limits for peak or base rated operation.

This table may be used to illustrate the stator and

rotor temperature rise when the generator is providing

the rated kVA of the selected generating set

configuration.

Although a generator set application may imply a

temperature rise (Eg: "prime power" may be thought

to be a 105/40 deg C generator temperature rise),

pay careful attention to specific temperature data to

match a particular specification.

Generators (only) are specified as having a "base"

rating or a "peak" rating (kVA or ekW). "Base" (or

prime) ratings imply that the unit can run on a

continual basis at the specified load point. "Peak" (or

stand-by) ratings, as defined by NEMA, allow

temperature rises up to 25C above those for prime

rated operation with a reduced insulation life.

MOTOR STARTING

Motor Starting Capability - NEMA

Motor starting curves are presented in accordance

with NEMA and are based on empirical data gathered

at the generator manufacturer's facility. Prediction of

the generator synchronous voltage dip can be made

by consulting the motor starting plot for the voltage

dip value that corresponds to the desired motor

starting kVA (skVA) value. Generator synchronous

voltage dip is not equal to the generating set voltage

dip upon load application, as the effect of the engine

has not been considered when a synchronous driver

is used to carry out the test.

Motor Starting Capability - IEC

Motor starting curves are obtained in accordance with

IEC60034, and are displayed at 0.6 power factor.

Prediction of the generator synchronous voltage dip

can be made by consulting the motor starting plot for

the voltage dip value that corresponds to the desired

motor starting kVA (skVA) value. Generator

synchronous voltage dip is not equal to the

generating set voltage dip upon load application, as

the effect of the engine has not been considered

when a synchronous driver is used to carry out the

test.

Current Decrement

The displayed generator current decrement curve

indicates the generator armature current arising from

a symmetrical three-phase fault at the generator

terminals. Generators equipped with AREP or PMG

excitation systems will sustain 300% of rated

armature current for 10 seconds.

Fault Currents

Below the decrement curve, instantaneous fault

currents are displayed for balanced three phase, line-

to-line, and line-to-neutral faults.

REACTIVE CAPABILITY

operate while considering the thermal limits of the

rotor and stator windings. On this plot, the theoretical

engine limit is displayed to further define the practical

range of operation when considering the generator

set package. The x and y axis of the plot are

displayed in "per unit" values, taking the generator

base rating as the base for "per unit" conversion.

DEFINITIONS

Armature

For an alternator (generator) an armature is an

assembly of coils that generate the generator output.

Also commonly known as the "stator" of a generator.

Field

For an alternator (generator), the field is the rotating

part of the electrical machine that is made up of coils

and laminations. Also commonly known as the "rotor"

of a generator.
