Generator Set Start ModuleSystem Description
The Generator Set Start Module provides redundant starting capability for the Caterpillar generator set. This option increases the generator's starting reliability. The Generator Set Start Module should be used as a redundant starting option to batteries.Note: Caterpillar recommends the Generator Set Start Module in parallel to the Starting Power Paralleling Option. The Starting Power Paralleling Option provides isolation between the batteries and the Generator Set Start Module. The Generator Set Start Module can also be used with a separate dedicated starter.The Generator Set Start Module provides auxiliary power to a starter. The auxiliary power comes from the Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS).Note: The auxiliary power can be up to 1000 amperes at 24 VDC.When starting power is provided from the UPS flywheel, the standby generator will ensure a constant voltage source with the following characteristics:
independent of starting batteries
tolerant of wide temperature variances
monitored by the UPSThe Generator Set Start Module can be mounted on the floor or on a wall. When the specified cable and the provided connector are used, the length of the cable should not exceed 152.40 m (500.00 ft). The length of the cable between the Generator Set Start Module and the engine starter should not exceed 7.62 m (25.00 ft).Specifications
