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)

Open or Closed transition

Configurable fast transfer time, LOM
action delay, utility and bus stable
delay

Zero power transfer across breaker

during closed transition
Emergency Power Supply (EPS)
supplying load alarm and discrete
output
LOM alarms and discrete output
Load shed on overload

Peaking Control

Automatic start/stop based on time of

day or demand level
Four time-of-day programs with two
starts and durations per program
Parallel to utility or perform
open/closed transition for time-of-day
starts
Configurable time delayed start/stop
and immediate start for demand
levels
Configurable time delay
Automatic demand monitoring of
multiple mains inputs
