3516B Generator Set

Electric Power

The 3516B diesel generator sets are made to meet your

mission critical, continuous, standby and prime applications.
Producing reliable power from 1750 to 2500 kVA at 50 Hz,
each generator set has been designed to meet ISO 8528-5
transient response requirements and to accept 100 percent
rated load in one step. Our integrated control system keeps
you connected through on-site and remote monitoring
options. We offer easy-to-use EMCP control panel options,
combining your management and diagnostic tools in one.
The EMCP 4.4 controller provides multi-generator set
paralleling capability, giving you the ability to add generator
sets to match your growing power requirements. It's not just
quality that matters but customization, choose from a broad
range of accessories and bolt-on system expansion
attachments. Find flexible packaging to fit unique spatial
requirements and environmental conditions. Our 3516B
generator sets are developed for such prerequisites, so that
you can meet your specific power needs.

DEFINITIONS AND CONDITIONS

1. For ambient and altitude capabilities consult your Cat dealer. Air flow restriction (system) is added to existing
restriction from factory.

2. UL 2200 Listed packages may have oversized generators with a different temperature rise and motor starting
characteristics. Generator temperature rise is based on a 40° C ambient per NEMA MG1-32.

3. Emissions data measurement procedures are consistent with those described in EPA CFR 40 Part 89, Subpart D &
E and ISO8178-1 for measuring HC, CO, PM, NOx. Data shown is based on steady state operating conditions of
77° F, 28.42 in HG and number 2 diesel fuel with 35° API and LHV of 18,390 btu/lb. The nominal emissions data
shown is subject to instrumentation, measurement, facility and engine to engine variations. Emissions data is based
on 100% load and thus cannot be used to compare to EPA regulations which use values based on a weighted cycle.
