SR4B GENERATORS
Building on a Tradition of Continuous Improvement
The newest Caterpillar® SR4B generators feature
many customer responsive improvements not
available in their predecessor, the Cat SR4
generators. And that’s saying a lot, considering
there are more than 250,000 SR4 generators
currently operating in installations around the
world. But, just because the SR4 gained wide
approval in myriad packaged generator set and
marine auxiliary applications over the last
years, doesn’t mean we couldn’t make it better.
In fact, driven by the Caterpillar commitment to
continuous quality improvement and by listening
to our customers, we improved it quite a bit.
For starters, the new Cat® SR4B generators are
nearly one percent more efficient than their
super-efficient predecessors in the SR4 family.
They are also significantly shorter and more
compact than the previous models — without
any loss of output capability. We have also
tailored these generator designs to specific
4
customer needs in standby, continuous, and
harsh environment applications.
Easier access is provided for the serviceable
parts. And the generators feature full stator cage
construction to reduce vibration and provide for
better cleaning access.
The SR4B generators with permanent magnet
excitation can also be equipped with the
new Caterpillar digital control monitor, a
programmable microprocessor-based system
that allows users to modify voltage regulator
characteristics.
All SR4B generators are available in packages
with the new Cat 3500B diesel engine with
ratings from 800 to 2000 kW at 1500 to
1800 rpm/min.
The new SR4B generators from Caterpillar.
A new generation of generators.

DESIGN FEATURES
Our new world class SR4B full line of
generators offers many features not found on the
SR4. This new line of generators truly focuses on
the requirements of the application. The SR4B
designs have been tailored for standby,
continuous, and harsh environment applications
in response to customers’ needs.
• The SR4B is offered in 11 new sizes:
690, 691, 692, 693, 695, 696, 822, 824, 825,
826, 827.
• Permanently mounted bus bars are now
standard on all SR4B designs including
medium voltage. These bus bars have six holes
and conform to the standard NEMA pattern.
Optional bus bars are available in European
pattern.
• Control voltage terminal strips are provided
to allow easy customer connections to
regulator, space heater and other devices.
• The SR4B has improved efficiencies (as much
as 0.9 percent improvement over SR4) and
motor starting capability in excess of 1.9
SKV•A per continuous kW.
• New full cage construction is a rugged design
offering superior package performance
allowing easier stator maintenance with better
cleaning access and improved space heater
location.
• The SR4B has a more serviceable design with
easier access to the bearing.
– Replaceable sleeve for bearing reduces
repair cost and time.
– Leads exit from top of generator instead of
through bearing bracket for improved
cooling.
– Optional bearing temperature detectors are
available.
• Modular design allows addition of extension
terminal boxes for low voltage components
and for adding circuit breakers up to
3200 Amps. This allows customer access to
top, bottom, left, and right.
• 2/3 pitch is now standard on all 4160V
generators allowing 2400V delta connection.
2/3 pitch is also available on all others as
custom quote without derate.
• Permanent magnet excitation is standard on
all continuous, harsh environment, and
medium voltage SR4B generators. This,
together with three-phase sensing, provides
superior voltage regulator performance, even
with nonlinear loads.
• Isolation voltage sensing transformers are now
standard on all permanent magnet SR4B
generators for convenient paralleling.
• Embedded stator temperature detectors are
also standard on all 400V/480V continuous
and all form wound generators.
• The SR4B offers the best selection of standard
voltages in the industry: 380V, 480V, 600V,
2400V, 4160V @ 60 Hz; and 400V, 500V,
3300V @ 50 Hz.
• The SR4B design offers better utilization of
materials with a more compact design –
shorter in length with less overall weight
than SR4 generators of the same rating.
• The new Caterpillar Digital Voltage Regulator
(D.V.R.) is now available on all generators
with permanent magnet excitation. The D.V.R.
offers superior transient response, block
loading, generator protection, and flexibility.
The D.V.R. integrates many of the options that
were previously panel mounted into one
package including KVAR/PF controller,
overexcitation protection, fault detection,
overvoltage protection, undervoltage
protection, and system parameter monitoring.

MORE COMPACT
The SR4B generators are significantly shorter
and more compact than their predecessors in
part because of their new square stator
lamination design. This new design not only
requires less material than the standard round
lamination, but is also more effective, allowing
overall generator length to be reduced with no
loss in output capability.

customer needs. New features include:
• Flexibility
• Eleven sizes
• A much more compact design — shorter The D.V.R. effectively integrates many of the
in length and lighter options that were previously panel mounted into
one package including:
• The best selection of standard voltages in
the industry — from 380V @ 60Hz to • KVAR/PF controller
3300V @ 50Hz
• Overexcitation protection
• Permanently mounted standard NEMA
• Fault detection
pattern bus bars
• Overvoltage protection
• Full cage construction for better access and
ease of stator maintenance • Undervoltage protection
• More serviceable design and easy access to • System parameter monitoring
