said by TheMG:The building I work in (which is not a CO, but does house a lot of rather important equipment), has two 1.5MW CAT diesel gensets.
They are MASSIVE gensets and very impressive to see/hear them start up.
Total load is just under 1MW, but there are two gensets for redundancy in case one fails to start.
Lightweight...
Largest complex I maintain regularly has 6 1.5 MW and 2 2 MW generators, and I was called in on an emergency to another building of ours with 3 5MW turbines... They are impressive as it gets at startup...
