Our Selection of Cat® Generators for Nuclear Facilities
Thompson Power Systems offers generators that cover the broad spectrum of nuclear power applications:
- Emergency diesel generators (EDGs): An off-site power loss can have devastating consequences for a nuclear facility. Cat EDGs mitigate the risk by providing a reliable, tailored power generation solution. Besides power plants, these units have repeatedly demonstrated their value in cargo ships, ferries, and cruise liners. They include robust engines featuring advanced mechanical injection systems and electronic governors that help prevent qualification issues. Choose from several models in various speed and electrical output options.
- Station black-out units (SBOs): These nuclear plant generators protect against the critical condition of the loss of an internal or external power source that could lead to significant reactor core damage. The Cat C175 and 3500 Series can provide an easy-to-install modular power generation solution that reduces the risk and meets Nuclear Regulatory Commission guidelines.
- Mobile power containers on trailers: These nuclear facility diesel generators give you a portable power option wherever you need it. While these generators are non-classified, they adhere to the high standards for quality and reliability you’ve come to expect from any Cat product. They feature sound-attenuated enclosures and come in container sizes up to 40 inches. Available power outputs range from 20 to 2,000 kW.
