Power Solutions — Russelectric, a Siemens business
Russelectric’s Emergency Power System provides backup power during a utility power loss. The paralleling switchgear systems offer redundant programmable logic controller (PLC) controls and manual backup capability and has been used by hospitals, data centers, telecommunications and banking facilities, airports, water and wastewater treatment plants, and renewable energy facilities.
All systems are UL listed and can incorporate sophisticated control functions, such as peak shaving and load curtailment. The paralleling systems incorporate dual, redundant, hot synchronized PLCs for system control. The unique system design allows manual start and synchronization of generator sets if automatic controls malfunction. Discrete switches, meters, and control devices are standard to allow manual control capability in the event that both system PLCs fail.
