Caterpillar Inc. introduces the first in a line of diesel-fueled generator sets with ACERTTM Technology. With rating ranges of 900 – 1000 ekW and 1000 – 1100 kVA, the new generator set is the first EPA Tier 2 certified generator set to be offered in the North American marketplace.

The generator set is designed primarily for standby, prime and load management applications. It offers the latest in engine design technology to provide emissions compliance without sacrificing power density or fuel economy. Available in 60 Hz and 50 Hz models, the clean diesel generator set is powered by the new Cat C32 – a 32-liter displacement, 12-cylinder, "V" configured engine.

An ADEM™ A4 controller, mechanically actuated electronic fuel injection (MEUI), and crossflow cylinder heads comprise the building blocks of ACERT Technology. The generator set offers an Air-To-Air After Cooler (ATAAC) cooling system, an advanced EMCP 3 control system, multiple control panel and power connection location options, and enhanced package-mounted circuit breaker options. It features a permanent magnet excitation with Class H insulation, Class F temperature ratings (105°C prime/130°C standby), and anti-condensation space heaters.
