Gen-Set

Caterpillar recently introduced the Cat XQ1140 power module, a mobile power solution delivering application flexibility and improved efficiency through a dual-gen-set configuration. Now available for 60-Hz applications demanding up to 1,000 kW of standby power or 910 kW of prime power, the Cat XQ1140 power module features a twin-pack design. Its two Cat C18 gen-sets meet U.S. EPA Tier 4 Final emission standards and can be paralleled to share larger loads or operate independently to support different loads and voltages. According to the company, the unit’s design allows a single gen-set to continue supplying power and optimize individual engine dispatch when demand is variable, N+1 redundancy is needed, or maintenance is required. A new external user interface allows operators to remotely perform numerous functions such as start/stop, monitoring, breaker operation and alarm response. Additionally, external fuel and diesel exhaust fuel (DEF) fill ports are positioned on the same side of the module for single-side access.
