1988 CAT 3412 600kW Diesel Generator Set (Sold)

This 1988 Caterpillar 3412 diesel generator set is a heavy-duty industrial power system designed for large commercial, utility, and mission-critical standby applications. The unit is rated 600 kW / 750 kVA standby at 60 Hz, operating at 1800 RPM, and produces 277/480V, three-phase power. With 3,308 original operating hours, this generator represents a solid opportunity to acquire a proven large-frame Caterpillar standby package.

The generator is powered by the legendary CAT 3412 diesel engine and is equipped with a Caterpillar SR4 generator end. Controls are provided through a Caterpillar EMCP 4.2B digital control panel, offering full system monitoring, metering, and protective shutdowns. Electrical output is delivered through a factory output breaker for safe power distribution.

This unit is skid-mounted (open type) and does not include a base fuel tank. An engine-driven radiator is available as an optional add-on. Built during Caterpillar’s mechanical-engine era, this generator is considered pre-emissions / non-tier, making it well-suited for industrial facilities, export applications, and standby installations where modern aftertreatment is not required. Rugged, simple, and well-supported, this CAT 3412 package is an excellent candidate for high-capacity backup and prime-support roles.
