SRCR GENERATOR Caterpillar

TYPICAL GENERATOR NAMEPLATE

The generator serial number, on the nameplate, tells four things about the generator.

1. The first group of numbers gives an approximate indication of the kW rating of a 60 cycle generator. For 50 cycle generators, the number is approximately 120 percent of the kW rating.

2. The letter T is the symbol for Caterpillar Statically Regulated Controlled Rectifier generator.

3. The next letter gives an indication of the voltage rating. See chart.

4. The last group of numbers is the actual serial number of the generator in it's kW and voltage rating.

NOTE: If a generator is connected to give performance different from that shown on the nameplate, a new nameplate should be installed on the generator. Mark the new nameplate to show the present method of connection and rated capacities.

The chart that follows gives the basic characteristics of each SRCR generator.
