SR4B HV GENERATORS
In January 1997 Caterpillar introduced the new
world-class Cat SR4 HV (High Voltage)
generator for use with the 3500 series engines
in standby, prime, and continuous applications.
Initially, the SR4 HV product line offered
seven frame sizes, and expanded to ten frame
sizes in July 1998. With the introduction of the
SR4B HV product line, eleven new frame sizes
will be offered: 2410, 2420, 2430, 2440, 2450,
2460, 2470, 2480, 2810, 2820, and 2830. The
table on page 3 indicates the new frames.
The SR4B HV generators have been
specifically redesigned to provide a more
flexible and maintainable product in the field.
The new terminal box will allow the same
2
flexibility of LHS and RHS cable entry but now
include top or bottom cable entry. The brushless
excitation system has been redesigned to allow
easy access to the rotating rectifiers if
replacement is necessary. Additional design
enhancements have been incorporated to
improve the overall package size.
The generators are designed to be frequency
specific, and the performance is optimized for
the operating frequency. This means that 50 Hz
generators are designed specifically for 50 Hz
operation and that 60 Hz generators are
designed specifically for 60 Hz operation. The
performance data is available in Technical
Marketing Information (TMI).

COMPONENTS
Stator Construction
The stator frame has fabricated bar and steel
plate construction. It is machined to tolerance
to provide alignment with the rotor. Non-
oriented, silicon steel laminations with core-
plated insulation on both sides are used to
reduce core loss and temperature rise in the
machine and to improve efficiency. The
stacked laminations are skewed to reduce
harmonic distortion caused by the slots, and
held under pressure with clamping plates
without welding on the laminations.
6
Winding overhang on the stator is insulated
between phases. Surge ropes are used to
support the winding overhang. The windings
are braced to withstand single phase and three
phase fault conditions.
All insulation materials used in the stator have
a minimum temperature rating of 155° C
(Class F) per IEEE Std 1. The windings are of
form coil construction. Turn-to-turn testing is
performed on all stator windings prior to
impregnation.
The complete stator is processed in a Vacuum
Pressure Impregnation (VPI) chamber.
Encapsulation of the stator is accomplished
with a two-part epoxy system. The epoxy resin
is held within a groundwall tape made of
woven glass fabric with mica paper, which has
450 to 600 volts/mil of electrical strength. The
proper stoichiometric balance of the epoxy
resin and hardener is accomplished during the
VPI cycle. To ensure thorough penetration of
resin into the windings, the vacuum pressure
cycle is below 200 microns, and the air
pressure cycle is greater than 90 psi. A high-
potential test is conducted on the stator after
impregnation per IEEE Std 115.
P R O D U C T I N F O R M AT I O N – S R 4 B H V G E N E R AT O R S
COMPONENTS
Rotor Construction
The rotor is a fully laminated, salient pole
type. Low resistance amortisseur bars are
inserted through slots in the field poles and
brazed/welded to a continuous shorting ring to
complete the damping circuit. Cooling fans are
an integral part of the rotor assembly. The rotor
has accessible provisions for bolt-on balancing
weights.
All insulation materials used in the rotor have
a minimum temperature rating of 155° C
(Class F) per IEEE Std 1. The poles are of a
layer wound construction.
The complete winding and rotor pole assembly
is processed in a VPI chamber. Encapsulation
of this assembly is accomplished with a
thixotropic, single component epoxy resin. To
ensure thorough penetration of resin into the
windings, the vacuum pressure cycle is below
5000 microns, and the air pressure cycle is
greater than 90 psi. A high-potential test is
conducted on the rotor after impregnation per
IEEE Std 115.
The alternator is capable of withstanding,
without adverse effects, overspeed of
125 percent of synchronous speed for the
duration of one minute. The rotor is
dynamically balanced. The vibration
displacement does not exceed 0.0508 mm
peak-to-peak.

COMPONENTS
Main Outlet Box
The Main Outlet Box (MOB) is mounted on
the top of the generator nearest the exciter end.
There are two purposes of the MOB. The first
is safety — the MOB provides a barrier against
accidental contact with the power leads. The
second is environmental protection of the leads
and mounted attachments. The MOB will be
large enough to accommodate a maximum of
four current transformers and designed to meet
Ingress Protection (IP) 44, which means it can
prevent entry of splashing water and solid
objects bigger than one millimeter in size.
Extension Box
The Extension Box (EB) is just that — an
extension of the MOB. Other names for the EB
may be the Cable Entry Box (CEB) or
Terminal Box (TB). The purpose of the EB is
connection to the customer’s incoming cables.
The EB includes four rigidly mounted busbars
— three phase busbars and one neutral busbar,
10
all tinned copper standoff terminal-type, all
suitable for the termination of high voltage
cables. The busbars are drilled for terminal
lugs having two holes on the phase busbars
and four holes on the neutral busbar. The
redesigned EB for the SR4B HV provides the
customer with flexibility to change location for
incoming cables from RHS to LHS and top to
bottom cable entry.
Low Voltage Connection Box
The Low Voltage Connection Box (LVCB) is
within the MOB on the exciter end. the LVCB
design provides fast, easy, and safe customer
connection from the outside of the MOB for all
low voltage features. Both standard features
(bearing RTDs, stator RTDs, space heater,
exciter field, and PM field) and optional
features (thermostat, differential CTs, and air
filter differential pressure switch) have
terminals provided.

ADDITIONAL FEATURES
Drive Configuration
The alternator is of the independent two-
bearing design type. It has a shaft extension
and close coupled adapter suitable for direct
connection to the standard SAE 00 housing of
the engine.
Bearing Design
2800 Frames
The bearings are a self-aligning, regreasable,
split cylindrical roller bearing design. The
bearings are serviceable without any need to
either move the alternator from the base or
disconnect the coupling from the engine. The
bearing at the exciter end is insulated to
prevent circulating currents.
2400 Frames
The bearings are of a regreasable, single row,
ball bearing design. The bearing at the exciter
end is insulated to prevent circulating currents.
Grounding Pads
Two non-corrosive stainless steel grounding
pads are welded to each alternator. The pads
are located diagonally opposite each other.
Temperature Detectors
The stator includes six 100 ohm platinum
RTDs, two per phase. Each bearing includes
one 100 ohm platinum RTD.
Routine Tests
All alternators are given standard factory
routine tests to ensure that they are free of
mechanical and electrical defects. The tests are
conducted in accordance with IEEE-115,
NEMA MG-1, IEC34, BSI 4999 and
MIL-STD 705 standards.
Standards
The generator conforms to the applicable parts
of the following standards:
• NEMA MG1-22, motors and generators
• IEEE 43, recommended practice for
insulation testing of large AC rotating
machinery
• IEC 34-1, rotating electrical machines
• BSI 4999, specifications for generator
requirements for rotating electrical machines
• CSA C22.2-100 Designation ABL3
• EGSA 101P
• ISO 8528-3

ADDITIONAL FEATURES
Rewindable on Site
Caterpillar has a new procedure that provides
an alternate method to rewind 5 kV to 15 kV
generators in field. This new procedure is
called B stage insulation technology which
gives the advantage of post-impregnated
windings without a full immersion VPI process
on wound stators. Pre-impregnated, partially
cured coils are the key elements in this

alternative method of manufacturing.
Replacement VPI windings which are fully
equivalent to conventionally produced VPI
windings can thus be installed on-site in the
field, if necessary. The table below shows the
differences in the process steps between the
