| Technical details / open items | Two units offered by J&J on October 29, 2026. The repeated tag photos document one unit, rather than two distinct serial-number records.; Photographed Caterpillar nameplate: 3516C engine model; standby duty; 2,000 kW / 2,500 kVA at 0.8 power factor. This is a standby rating; no prime or continuous output is established by the supplied tag.; Electrical nameplate: 480 V, three-phase, 60 Hz, 3,007 A and 1,800 RPM; wye, series connection with six leads.; October 2016 manufacture is shown on the photographed generator-set nameplate. Confirm the second unit’s manufacture date, ratings, electrical configuration and matching records before allocation.; Class H insulation; frame 1625; rated ambient 40 °C and altitude 1,000 m. NEMA temperature rise 125 °C by resistance; UL maximum temperature rise 135 °C by resistance.; Excitation: 56 V and 4.6 A. The supplied tag also records the alternator reactance and time-constant values, available for the engineering review.; Caterpillar identifies the 3516C model family as diesel generator sets. No unit-specific emissions tier, emissions permit suitability, load-bank result, warranty, low-hour claim or refurbishment claim is established by these photos.; Contact Tommy Marco at 346-276-9540 or tommy@jjtransformers.com for unit pricing, hours, maintenance history, inspection and an itemized equipment and delivery scope. | Caterpillar G3520K K-Series, 20-cylinder natural gas engines; 2,500 ekW / 3,125 kVA each at 0.8 power factor, 60 Hz, 480 V.; Skid-mounted generator sets supplied without individual enclosures. Five equipment buildings are specified, each housing 20 generator sets.; One Safety Power ecoCUBE SCR system per generator set. Emissions configuration and permit suitability are reviewed for the specific project location.; Balance of plant: two GE 13/115/230 kV step-up transformers, one 3,200 A load bank, two main switchgear lineups and ten sub-line lineups, plant controls and protection, and 20 chiller-cooler units.; The intermediate step-up from 480 V, medium-voltage collection, transformer MVA ratings and final one-line are established in the project engineering scope.; Installation, commissioning, testing and documentation are included within the agreed EPC scope. Site responsibilities, exclusions and warranty terms are set out in the definitive written agreement.; All 100 generator sets and supplied balance-of-plant equipment are specified for readiness within 90 days of deposit received in escrow. This is the equipment readiness milestone; the installation schedule follows site review.; Contact Tommy Marco for the technical package, inspection arrangements, project scope and commercial terms. |
