Product catalog summary
Introduction
The document outlines the comprehensive equipment management solutions provided by Cat® Dealers for electric power systems. It emphasizes the global reach and local expertise of the Cat Dealer network, which includes nearly 200 locally owned businesses and 1,800 dealer branch stores worldwide.

Reliability and Innovation
Cat® medium-voltage switchgear is highlighted for its reliability, crucial for maintaining power in critical applications such as cell phone service and life protection. The switchgear is designed to operate at higher voltages, reducing utility costs and supporting sustainability by utilizing biogas and methane gas.

Switchgear Features and Applications
The switchgear systems incorporate Eaton VacClad switchgear and VCP-W vacuum circuit breakers, along with Cat EMCP3.S control technology. Key features include built-in redundancy, touchscreen interface, advanced communications, and detailed reporting. Applications span various sectors, including healthcare, data centers, and government facilities.

Standards and Specifications
The switchgear conforms to standards such as Nema SG-5, ANSI/IEEE C37.20.2, and NFPA 70, 99, 110. It supports maximum voltages of 4.76 kV, 8.25 kV, 15 kV, and 27 kV, with continuous current ratings for circuit breakers and main bus ranging from 1200 to 4000 A.

Cat EMCP 3.S Paralleling Controller
This controller is a microprocessor-based synchronizer and load controller designed for Cat engine-generator sets. It replaces traditional synchronizers and protective devices, offering features like moving master technology, load shed/add, and engine communications.

PowerLynx 3000 and 2000
The PowerLynx 3000 offers advanced features such as a 19-inch color display, historical data trending, and extensive alarm/event logging. The PowerLynx 2000, while cost-effective, provides similar functionalities without historical trending capabilities.

Automatic Transfer Switch (ATS)
Cat® medium-voltage ATS ensures reliable automatic transfer to standby power during power source failures or when backup power is required. It is available in various voltage ratings and enclosure types, suitable for emergency and backup systems.
