National Business Reviews What about sets where the entire place runs on batteries and is on a constant charge and when the power goes out there is no down time or reboot. You cant even tell the difference.
@@jared2807Bro has zero clue what he's talking about. UPSs carry the load until the generator lives up, which is a minute at most. There is never a reboot even with these generators.
These are small to mid size compared to the large EMD V20 engines used in rail locomotives and marine/stationary units. The EMD V20 series is a 7.5MW stationery power plant. Those V12-16 CAT's shown are like 2-3MW each.
Gotta love how CAT makes boots, construction equipment, Diesel generators and my favorite, CAT makes engines for Locomotives. CAT engines have a nice low rumble
I just watched a two hour doc where it notes all the best electrical scientists since 1650 (nearly 400 years wow!) to my surprise Edison was the least significant. He never had a brilliant scientific breakthrough yet he gets soooo much credit. Just killed me when he brought up Edison 😂
Yeah, when he said "Where Edison first turned on electricity" I was thinking to myself "...in the US maybe" because European nations were already electrified, in fact it was Siemens AC generators that George Westinghouse imported from Germany because he had already seen what AC could do in Europe and he feared that if the US got stuck using DC because of Edison it would put the nation at a disadvantage.
@@mfgc2610 The video said 4th floor in Manhattan. I severely doubt any flood would get above ground floor. The maintenance engineer talked about how difficult it was to maintain them on upper floors with dragging oil up a 5 - 10 floor walk up stair case. I agree, of course take account of flooding but the video said some are 30 - 92 floors up?
5:00 Yeah I know about the big black out, the North American black out killed power for a good chunk of the USA and parts of Ontario and quebec up here in Canada. Turns out it was ohio that was the issue Can't have power because of Ohio.
man I wonder how it would have been for buddy, the black out happens, I guess they'd hear a bunch of rumbling as the CAT gensets kick in and start going full blast to keep the data center running.
Data centers usually have back up batteries that will power the datacenter for 15-60 minutes after a power outage. But this just buys time for the generators to turn on and start running. I believe the generators can create more power longer than the batteries. Maybe that will change in the future.
DON'T BUY A CAT!! You will be sorrrrryyyyy!!! Mine is about 15 years old. It made it through the Warranty. First it was the Fuel Pump, bad design and they made an upgrade after I spent $3,000 replacing them. The upgrade another $3,000.oo Now it is the Injector Pump $6,000.oo!! The whole Generator was $23,000.oo. They nail you on the parts!! Oil change $ 1,500.oo and up. I am an elderly homeowner on Social Security!! Fuel $ 5.oo a gallon!! YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!! You think you are buying the best and won't have any problems!! THINK AGAIN!!
@@mfgc2610 Yes! Under 300 Hours of use and most of that is the weekly exercise! Also it is for a single family home! You spend top dollar for what is supposed to be top of the line you expect a trouble free piece of equipment! BTW it is serviced every year, Oil, Filters, etc.
Such an awesome setup and you really show it as a beautiful install.
Oh and let's not forget Brockton Massachusetts when discussing Mr Edison
Cat really has things under control when it come to standby backup emergency power generation for NYC.

@@jared2807 no Datacenter does that, they use a UPS like you describe just for when the generator is starting

@@pootispiker2866or be old school like us, and use a DRUPS ;)
What is the MW rating of the generators featured in this video? The link referenced in the description no longer works...
It's power, but mostly are rated in kvA or Kilovolt-Ampere, but due to the big size of this generators are Mega instead of Kilo

CATERPILLAR is the best when it comes to machinery...
Agreed
No, Siemens are the world leaders followed by Mitsubishi Heavy Industries.
The Bitexco building at HCMC, Vietnam back up by five 5 x 2000 kVA Cummins UK Generator.

KVA Ratings of this one?
should be a round 2800 kVA
Is that place the former ATT switching center built to withstand a nuclear blast during the Cold War?
I think that is another building
C175 great addition in catterpillar c series.
Woah sabey i didnt know they was still going arguments ive had with these chaps around the world in the early 2ks
Seems odd putting big heavy generators on upper floors. Surely better in a basement.
You mean where tropical storm Sandy flooded? Ya... NO!

@brianthesnail3815 I worked in a building that had generators on the 13th floor of a 14 story building, and they were fine.
Edison was a smart businessman. Tesla was his innovator! Much like Silicon Valley...

Datacenter and tall don't go well, it's not a thing to be excited over
So that generator floor looks like the finished version of De_Vertigo
Some companies are “DIRTY”
Thanks

Wtf are they not powered renewably?!

@@davidh4921 oh fair enough, and yes with current battery technology that can change already but needs alot of space
Someday... Just not quite yet.

@@rodgerbooth1064 Not very many hours at all. $23k 15 years ago was a large chunk. On hearing more... I'd be pretty ticked too!
Omg… i was looking for reference to something I did thirty years ago. You guys are prehistoric to what we were doing. Nope
