Paralleling Switchgear to Control the Complete Power Generation System

Paralleling Switchgear
You're In Total Command

MTU Onsite Energy power generation systems are sophisticated machines, and it takes sophisticated electronic controls to run them properly. That's why using MTU Onsite Energy digital generator paralleling control switchgear makes a winning combination: control from easy-to-operate screens at the system or monitor remotely from a control center anywhere in the world.

Load management is automatic. The controllers start, synchronize, parallel, monitor and protect the engine and alternator. Fault codes are stored and shutdown sequences are invoked if out-of-range conditions warrant.

MTU Onsite Energy controllers will manage up to eight gensets. Each genset will have one priority block with up to eight loads per block. Controllers work with voltages up to 13.8kV.

Digital Control Provides Reliability and Flexibility
MTU Onsite Energy digital controllers constantly monitor loads and make adjustments as needed. Primary and secondary priority loads are added or shed through up to 64 automatic transfer switches. The controller communicates through an Ethernet connection with a range of building networks using most major media and protocols.

When the automatic transfer switch switches signals that commercial power has been restored the transfer switches have transferred loads to the normal source, the switchgear simultaneously opens the generator circuit breakers. The engine then run for a no-load, user-defined cool-down period. Configuring the controllers can be done at the unit; no laptop is required. The control panel also displays event logs and other operating information.

Compact Package
Despite the full-featured design on MTU Onsite Energy controllers, the units are compact, have a small footprint and meet UL Standards.
