Floorstanding switchgear includes the following functions and features
Electronic Modular Control Panel (EMCP II) Components
Generator set control (GSC)
Monitoring: sequentially rotating, backlit LCD display of engine hours, engine RPM, DC battery voltage, oil pressure, and water temperature; includes pushbutton to hold display on any single parameter
Protection: shutdowns for overspeed, overcrank, high water temperature, low oil pressure, and emergency stop with LED indicator for each condition
Alarms: low coolant level
AC metering: three-phase volts (L-L), amperes and frequency with phase select pushbutton on backlit LCD; metering accuracy is 0.5%
Control: automatic starting with field adjustable cycle crank, failure to start (overcrank), and cooldown timer
Programming and diagnostics: includes field programmable set-points for engine control and monitoring variables and self diagnosis of EMCP II system component and wiring failures
Alarm Module
Flashing LED warnings for: low coolant temperature, high coolant temperature (pre-alarm), low oil pressure (pre-alarm), engine control switch not in automatic, and low DC voltage
Off/reset for engine shutdown and resetting faults
Automatic for remote starting by customer contact closure
Manual for local starting and manual paralleling
Stop/cooldown for manual operation cooldown
Alarm Acknowledge/Lamp Test Switch
Three-position, spring return to center switch for alarm acknowledge and lamp test of all discrete indicating lamps
Lamp test shall also sound the alarm horn
Annunciation Circuits
Upon receipt of an alarm or shutdown condition, the horn shall sound and an LED shall flash
Upon acknowledgement from alarm acknowledge/lamp test switch, the horn shall be silenced and the lamp steadied
LED shall be extinguished when ECS is placed in the off/reset position if the alarm condition has been corrected
Circuits are recurring such that the LED shall flash and the horn sound, should another fault occur even prior to correction of the initial fault
Emergency Stop Pushbutton
Mushroom head, twist to reset, causes engine shutdown and tripping of the generator circuit breaker
Prevents engine starting when depressed
Manual Paralleling
Controls consisting of reverse power relay, synchronizing lights, and switch
Reverse power condition causes tripping of the generator circuit breaker, immediate engine shutdown, flashing of indicating lamp, and sounding of alarm horn
Circuit Breaker
Fixed mounted, three-pole, manually operated, molded case circuit breaker with solid state trip unit for overload (time overcurrent) and fault (instantaneous) protection
Includes DC shunt trip coil activated on any generator set monitored fault
Circuit breaker is sized for full load capacity of the generator set at 0.8 power factor
Load Share Governor
Electronic load sharing governor with speed adjust potentiometer, idle/rated switch, and isochronous/droop switch
Voltage Regulator (Switchgear Mounted)
Standard Caterpillar generator-mounted digital voltage regulator with voltage adjust rheostat mounted in the floorstanding switchgear
Current Transformers
Three five-ampere secondary with shorting terminal strips
Potential Transformers
Three 120 VAC secondary with primary and secondary fuse protection
Two connected to the generator side of the circuit breaker, one connected to the load side of the circuit breaker
Bus Bars
Three-phase plus fully rated neutral bus bars with NEMA standard hole pattern for connection of customer load cables and generator cables
Bus bars are sized for full load capacity of the generator set at 0.8 power factor
Includes ground bus, connected to the generator frame ground and container frame with holes for connection of field ground cable
Bus bars are accessible from outside of the power module via hinged, lockable cable access door
Accessory Power
3500 power modules
Three 230 VAC (50 Hz units) or 120 VAC (60 Hz units) shore power connections for jacket water heaters, generator space heater, and battery charger
Battery Charger
24 VDC/20A battery charger with float/equalize modes and charging ammeter
Specifications
Hours of operation: 5000 hours since new / 3000 to 5000 hours on rebuilt engines
