Engine Paralleling and Integration Control (EPIC)

Switchgear and Paralleling Controls

The Engine Paralleling and Integration Control (EPIC) product line provides standard paralleling controls in a remote cabinet separate from the engine generator set and separate from switchgear (breakers and bus).

Show
Configuration 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 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-27kV)
ANSI Protective Devices 15/25. 27/59, 81 O/U, 32, 40, 90 (Industrial Grade)

Availability Please Call Admin

OVERVIEW

The EPIC control system allows for modular application of paralleling controls. EPIC Master Panel provides a graphical interface to the generator sets, optional tie breaker, and optional Utility. Flexible control options allow for a variety of analog or high-speed network control of generators, making the EPIC system is an ideal choice for generation expansion projects whre there is need to parallel new generators with existing units.
