Caterpillar 3516C Diesel Generator Set – 2500 kVA Standby - 2023

The Caterpillar 3516C diesel generator set is engineered for continuous and standby power applications where reliable, heavy-duty performance is essential. Rated at 2500 kVA (standby) and 2750 kVA (prime), it operates at 380V, 50 Hz, with a 0.8 lagging power factor. The generator is driven by the proven CAT 3516C V-16 diesel engine, equipped with electronic ADEM™ A4 governing, turbocharged-aftercooled aspiration, and Caterpillar's high-efficiency SR5 brushless alternator.

The unit is radiator-cooled and skid-mounted, complete with lube oil, fuel filtration, jacket water heater, and dual 24V electric start motors. Its robust design ensures stable voltage regulation (±0.5%) and high thermal resilience with Class H insulation and a 125°C rise. It offers ~400 L/h fuel consumption at 100% load (prime), ~320 m³/min exhaust flow, and ~480°C exhaust temperature. The generator is designed for demanding operations in industrial plants, remote sites, and large infrastructure systems.
