MC200

Mains Parallel Controller for Multiple Gensets

INTRODUCTION
The MC 200 controller is used where one or more mains supplies are
required to parallel with the generator bus, it also features a powerful
PLC to ensure site specific design details can be accommodated. A
large full colour display presents operating status in a clear easy to view
format. A generous input and output capability with the ability to add
expansion where needed, which means complex sites can be tackled
with ease.
The MC200 provides both mains monitoring and automatic transfer
switch control functions (AMF). In addition it can be configured to
provide both forward and back synchronizing with the mains supply and
generating set bus, allowing a ‘no-break’ transfer in either direction.
While the generators are in parallel to mains, the MC200 monitors the
incoming mains supply and should a failure be detected the mains
circuit breaker will be opened to isolate the genset bus from the mains.
The MC200 provides control of both a Mains Circuit Breaker (MCB) and
a Master Genset Circuit Breaker (MGCB).
The MC200 will synchronize all gensets (controlled by the GC400,
GC600 or DST4602Evo parallel controllers) to the mains, with a soft
transfer of the load from the gensets to the mains, thus avoiding any
blackout on the load.
The embedded ‘genset management’ logics will allow selection of the
number of running sets according to the load, and integrates perfectly
with the same load management present in the genset parallel
controllers.
The MC200 can be combined with parallel controllers. In addition, if
the plant includes a tie breaker, it can be controlled by the BTB200
controller. Communication between devices is managed with a single
CANBUS connection (PMCBus).
The MC200 can also be used in a ‘standalone’ mode as a synchronizer
and load sharer across a specific breaker controlling a third party
genset.

MAIN FEATURES
• Start/stop commands for the generators via the PMCBus • The PEAK SHAVING and PEAK LOPPING functions (start of
generators due to excessive demand of the load from the mains)
• An internal synchronizer with voltage, frequency and phase
differences control • Using the internal calendar clock (with rechargeable backup battery):
• Management of active power setpoints for the generators, to allow • Periodical genset’s start-up with programmable rate (this test
the gradual transfer of the load can be done without load, in parallel to the mains or in island
mode by transferring the loads from the mains to the generators)
• Management of power factor setpoints for the generators, when
operating in parallel with the mains • Selectable days and time intervals in which the generators must
never be started
• Fixed power control when in parallel to mains (BASE LOAD), with the
power setpoint for the generators adjustable by parameter or by • Selectable days and time intervals in which the generators must
analogue input be started even if the mains is present
• Variable power control when in parallel to mains (IMPORT EXPORT, • Periodical and ‘on-event’ history logs
or variable kW on the generators to guarantee a fixed power on the • Embedded alarm sounder
mains), with power setpoint for the mains adjustable by parameter or
• Multilanguage display (EN, IT, FR, PT, ES, RU)
by analogue input.
• The loss of mains protections, to isolate the generators from the
mains in case of failure of the mains itself
• The LOAD SHEDDING function (non-priority load disconnection),
with 4 available levels
