Quiet, reliable, redundant backup power solutions
“With Cat’s system in place, the hospital has a great deal of redundancy and reliability built in,” said Deason. “Our monitoring system gives the operators far more information than they had in their older backup generator installation.” And all of the information can be obtained in real-time, from a remote PC, according to Deason. For Buckner, the decision to go with Caterpillar generators was based on VUMC’s experience with Cat power products.

XQ425 Tier 4 Final
The Cat® XQ425 provides world class performance and enhanced usability. This model is powered by the fuel-efficient Cat C13 Tier 4 Final engine compliant equipped with the Cat NOx Reduction System. Equipped with the new EMCP 4.4 control panel, the XQ425 features a user-friendly interface and automatic generator set paralleling. A principle advantage of the control system offers simpler and faster voltage changes. Providing greater flexibility when moving between multiple job sites with differing frequency and voltage needs, the auto-configuration capability eliminates the time required when reprogramming units and potential errors. Additional features include lower noise levels and improved part load fuel consumption.
