SWITCHGEAR

EGP SWITCHGEAR
The standard and custom Cat® generator set
paralleling switchgear is designed to integrate with
Cat EMCP generator set controls, providing a
complete paralleling system with high efficiency and
reliability.

Available in low and medium voltage applications

(up to 27 kV) the EMCP 3.S is an advanced,
multifaceted microprocessor-based control found
exclusively in Cat paralleling switchgear.
