GC400

Genset Controller for Parallel Applications

INTRODUCTION
The GC400 is a competitive controller ideally suited for managing
different types of parallel applications, especially for MPM (Multiple
Prime Mover) and MSB (Multiple Standby) power plants, where the
synchronization of several gensets is required. It can be installed easily
and quickly, thanks to an internal load sharing and synchronizer.

GC400Mains version is the perfect controller for those applications


where the reverse synchronization is required to avoid any interruption
to the supply to the load. All the necessary protections and features are
included, with no additional dongles needed.

A user-friendly graphical interface provides visual information about


measures and alarms coming from the genset. Events and DTC logs can
be accessed from the front panel and read on the display.

As well as providing local or remote control, a version with built in


GPRS/GPS tracking (GC400Link) is particularly suited for mobile or
rental applications, where asset tracking and monitoring is required.

MAIN FEATURES
• True RMS readings on generator voltages and currents
• Additional current measurement for neutral or ground fault
protection
