Posted by Victor Seropian on October 3rd, 2017

Caterpillar is a leading name in reliable and robust generators that can meet any application. One of its best-sellers is the C32, a line of diesel generators that produce dependable power ranging between 910 kVA to 1250 kVA at 50Hz. The C32 Caterpillar generator set is designed to meet your continuous, prime, standby, and mission-critical applications. The unit is designed to ISO 8528-5 transient response requirements, and it can accept 100 percent rated load with a single step. The sets come in different systems and certifications to suit various requirements, from those with low fuel consumption to Tier 2 EPA stationary emergency certification. 

Some sets come with seismic certification to ensure an easy way to maintain power, even in the event of unexpected interruptions. This certification is granted per applicable building codes like IBC 2003, 2000, 2009, and 2006, and CBC 2010 and 2007. OSHPD has pre-approved C32, which also carries the OSP-0321 to make it ideal for use in healthcare projects in certain states. 

Certain features make the C32 Caterpillar generator ideal for most applications. There is the rugged, durable, and reliable design, and the four-stroke-cycle diesel engine, which guarantees excellent fuel economy and consistent performance. C32 has been proven in the field and other applications around the world. The generator itself is built to Cat engine’s standards, resulting in a unit that is highly efficient and dependable. 

The C32 Caterpillar generator comes with an integrated control system, which encompasses the switchgear and ATS. This way, your power supply can be protected, and the generator keeps you connected through remote and on-site monitoring operations. Caterpillar provides an easy-to-use EMCP control panel to give you the option to combine diagnostic and management tools in one console. Using the EMCP 4.4 controllers, you can easily add generator sets as your power requirements change and expand. The feature grants your business with the capability of having a multi-generator set as your power generation needs to grow. 

Caterpillar provides a good selection of attachments and accessories that are easy to integrate on the C32 generator. Some suppliers of new and used diesel generators offer flexible packages that should help you find the right C32 unit that will suit your environmental conditions and spatial requirements. Rest assured, every unit can come with the CSA and UL 2200 certified package options to ensure the safety of every operation.
