Technical Summary

Configuration - Configurable PLC based switchgear capable of controlling and monitoring multiple generator sets, tie, utility and load breakers for utility paralleling applications Application-specific switchgear with control logic designed to meet any customer's sequence of operations. Examples are 3+ Utilities, CHP applications, complex load shed schemes, etc Remote modular paralleling control system (Master Control Panel for the first 2 generator sets and optional tie breaker, separate add-on control panels for up to 8 additional generator sets, utility paralleling control, and distribution control)
Modes of Operation - Emergency Standby, Utility Import/Export, Peak shaving, and base load operations with redundant controls and components. Closed transition to/from generator power All modes of paralleling generator sets to each other and to other sources (utility, alternative fuels, wind, etc) can be supported. Caterpillar generation and control experts can design and program the most complex power schemes to meet your critical pow Emergency Standby with redundant master control, Utility paralleling, peak shaving, and closed transition to/from Generator Power (with optional utility control panel)
Application - LV and MV ( 208V - 38 kV LV and MV ( 208V - 38 kV) 50 / 60 Hz LV and MV (208V-27kV)
