EGCP-3 MC
Multi-unit Mains Controller
Generator System Control Package
DESCRIPTION
The EGCP-3 MC is a powerful
microprocessor-based system control
and management package designed
for the most demanding power
generation applications.
Complete system
control package
Automatic loaddemand
sequencing of
multiple units
The EGCP-3 MC combines power
system, switchgear, bus and utility
monitoring, protection, and control
functions in a single, compact, and
cost-effective package.
Synchronization of
two breakers/
contactors
Perfect for medium and large-sized
generating systems, the EGCP-3 MC
is designed for use in ATS, peaking, or
utility paralleled systems.
The MC is a supervisory control system that works with EGCP-3 LS units to provide
total system control, including multiple utility tie applications.
APPLICATIONS
Real kW Load Control
True RMS power calculations
Configurable load/unload ramp rates
Load control of up to 15 EGCP-3 LS
units using percentage based load
sharing
Utility Import/Export KW control
Process control
Externally adjustable load or process
references (using Analog Inputs or
Modbus)
Reactive kVAR Control
Configurable load/unload ramp rates
PF or VAR control using percentage
based load sharing
Utility Import/Export VAR or PF
control
Externally adjustable VAR or PF
references (using Analog Inputs or
Modbus)
Manual voltage control capability
Automatic Transfer Switch (ATS)
