Power Train – Cat AC Electric Drive
Delivers you more power to the ground for greater productivity.

100% Caterpillar
Designed and manufactured by Caterpillar, the 794 AC is a
291 tonnes (320 tons) AC electric drive truck that is single sourced
from one manufacturer and supported with the best dealer network
in the industry. The 794 AC drive system works seamlessly with
the C175-16 engine and offers exceptional safety, serviceability
and performance.

Modular Design for Excellent Serviceability

The modular design allows for easy removal and installation of
components. The engine, traction alternator, motors, inverter, grid,
and final drives can be removed independently. The close coupled,
dual bearing traction alternator allows for easy mounting to the
C175-16 engine.

Superior Control Inspires Operator Confidence

The Cat AC drive system gives you the best retarding, braking, and
control in the industry. Class leading dynamic retarding coupled
with blended service braking of the four corner wet disc brakes,
provide the operator with exceptional control and confidence.

High Voltage – Lower Heat

The Cat AC drive is a high voltage system (2,600 volts) that operates
at lower current than the competition. The result is lower heat
generation, smaller/lighter components, and longer component life.

The Cat AC Electric Drive in Propel

The C175-16 diesel engine drives the close connected Traction
Alternator/Generator through an isolation coupler. The AC power
is rectified to a nominal 2,600 volts to form the DC link. The DC link
supplies power to the Inverter where IGBT’s convert the DC signal
to 3-phase AC to drive the traction motors. Traction motor output
drives the wheels through a double reduction ring gear output
final drive.

4
Cat AC Electric Drive in Retard
3
During retarding the traction/wheel motors act as generators
and power is fed back through the DC link. The power is fed to 2
the contactor and chopper circuits and then exhausted through
the radial grid. An AC fan blows air across the grid to dissipate the
1
power and control retarding speed.

Traction Alternator 4
No shimming or radial alignment required with the close coupled,
dual bearing alternator, resulting in decreased install time.
The excitation system is brushless which has longer maintenance
intervals than brush type systems.

Inverter 6
Cat ECMs and software work with the Mitsubishi Electric IGBT
Phase Modules to control the rimpull, direction and speed of the
5
truck. Mitsubishi Electric IGBT technology is the proven leader
for AC drive systems.

Power Train – Engine
Delivers power, reliability, and efficiency
for your most demanding mining applications.
Engine Block
The C175-16 engine block is comprised of
a high tensile strength ferrite ductile cast
iron alloy. This design offers increased
resistance to stress cracking and offers
support to the cylinder liners, allowing for
increased head gasket sealing capability.

Serviceability
The design of the C175-16 enhances
serviceability. The inlet manifolds and
turbochargers are located outside of the
engine’s V, giving the service technicians
more space to work on top of the engine
and within the engine bay.

Electronic Control Module (ECM)

The ECM utilizes advanced engine
management software to monitor,
control and protect the engine utilizing
self-diagnosing electronic sensors.

convenient access to tank levels, filters, drains and S·O·SSM
oil sampling ports.

Servicing Ease
• Open engine access with service platforms makes
maintenance easy. Traction alternator and optional inverter
platforms allow for easier inspections, troubleshooting,
and component change outs.
• Hydraulic cabinet shows critical pressures for all key
systems in one centralized location.

Sealed Electrical Connectors

Electrical connectors are sealed to lock out dust and moisture.
Harnesses are enclosed in conduit or braided for protection.
Wires are color coded for ease of diagnosis and repair.

Separate Hydraulic and Electric Lines

Hydraulic lines run inside the left side of the frame, while the
electric lines run inside the right side of the frame. This makes
servicing/replacement quick and easy.
