More Power to You!
Kato generators supply power to tap the world's resources; oil, gas, coal, copper, iron ore and lumber are all extracted from the earth with the help of Kato generators. Kato furnishes the power to keep the world moving. Ships freighters, locomotives, aircraft and mass transit systems all use Kato equipment. Any place where dependable, controllable electrical power is needed: hospitals, computer centers and telecommunication stations all rely on Kato generators to supply clean power.
The ruggedly-constructed Kato generators survive the harshest environments, and the Kato name has become synonymous with dependable power generation world wide.
Platform AC Generators
Simple but with advanced designs, Kato platform generators offer high reliability and easy access for maintenance. Used for a variety of applications and engine or turbine driven, they have the following specifications:
• Power Rating:
500-3000kW (low voltage), 500 kW-15MW (medium voltage), 750kW-15MW(high voltage)
• Voltage:
up to 600V (low voltage), 601-6000V (medium voltage), 6001-15,000V (high voltage)
• Power factor:
0.8 standard (other PFs available upon request)
• Frequency:
60Hz or 50Hz, three phase (six-phase optional)
• Speed @ 50/60Hz
1500/1800 RPM, 1000/1200 RPM, 750/900 RPM, 600/720 RPM
• Efficiency:
88% to 97% based on power rating, operating speed and voltage. All Kato generators have a high grade of electrical steel to yield low core losses and provide high efficiencies. Depending upon kW rating, premium steel may be used, resulting in even higher efficiencies. Efficiency data for specific model will be furnished upon request.
• Temperature rise:
For continuous duty applications, generators are typically 80ºC, 105ºC or 125ºC rise by resistance per NEMA MG-1. Standby ratings are either 105ºC, 130ºC or 150ºC rise per NEMA MG-1. Rise is based on an ambient temperature of 40ºC.
• Insulation:
All windings are of Class F or Class H insulation using vacuum pressure impregnation (VPI) cycle. Various types of epoxies are used depending on the functional requirements of individual components.
• Overload:
Typical allowable overloads are 50% for 5 minutes and 10% for 3 hours during 6 hours of operation. Short-circuit capability is at least 15 seconds at 300%.
