ASCO Releases Generator Paralleling System For Mission Critical Facilities
The transfer switch-based multi-feature packaged paralleling system features load management capabilities.
Facility managers can now, upon the introduction of the ASCO Series 300 Generator Paralleling System, consider pre-packaged transfer switch-based power systems for paralleling generators as an alternative to circuit breakers. The first of its type for load management for mid-tier installations, the ASCO Series 300 system, which brings high-power capabilities to mid-tier installations, is capable of paralleling 2 to 4 gen-set installations and managing 4 to 8 transfer switch load blocks at distributed data centers, commercial and telecom operations, oil and gas processes, and healthcare, government, agricultural, public, and educational facilities.
The ASCO Series 300 system takes an innovative approach to paralleling that utilizes generator power for switching and automatic controls and features a graphic touch screen as a convenient window to metering, event and alarm logs, and other data. The system, which brings together the paralleling controls and contactors for two generators into a single section for efficient use of space, is an economical alternative to the traditional switching capability of two circuit breakers.
