Caterpillar Expands Range Of Diesel Generator Sets
IBC and OSHPD seismic certifications now encompass Cat® power solutions from 11 kW to 4 MW.
Caterpillar Inc. has announced that the company has extended the company’s range of Cat diesel generator sets for North America that have been certified to meet the seismic provisions of all published editions of the International Building Code (IBC). Caterpillar now offers the widest range and deepest selection of diesel generators sets with IBC certifications and OSHPD seismic preapproval, including the only 4 MW diesel generator set on the market today that has earned both designations.
To date, Caterpillar has received certifications for a total of 20 models of 60-Hz Cat diesel generator sets ranging from 11 kW to 4 MW, and 11 models of 50-Hz generator sets from 910 kVA to 4 MVA. Every one of these generator sets is certified to the maximum short period design spectral response acceleration value (SDS) for at-grade and above-grade installations recognized by IBC, matching or exceeding the seismic performance of any other generator set manufacturer.
