Motors, Starters, Drives Adjustable-frequency drive Ampgard SC 9000 from Eaton is a medium-voltage adjustable-frequency drive for as many as 5,000-hp motors. Designed for the use with induction or synchronous motors at 2,400 to 4,160 V, the drive is manufactured in an ISO 9001:200 certified facility. The drive features the smallest footprint per horsepower in the industry, a modular roll-in/roll-out inverter, 24-pulse phase shifting isolation transformers, tertiary winding for internal 480 V auxiliary power supply, and a fully integrated drive that utilizes efficient variable speed operation. www.eaton.com Power Generation Wireless genset monitoring PowerCommand iWatch wireless monitoring system from Cummins Power Generation remotely monitors generator sets via cellular or satellite networks. Users access operational data via the Internet or receive e-mails or texts messages about alarm condition updates. The system uses a Modbus or hardwired interfaces to communicate with a Web server over a satellite or cellular connection. The generators also are available with OPS for the use with mobile or rental units. www.cumminspower.com Motor control center FlashGard motor control center from Eaton is a racking mechanism that provides bus isolation, stab indications, and lockout features. The MCC minimizes the impact and exposure to higher PPE levels in industrial environments, lowers the probability of the creation of a short circuit phase-to-phase or phase-to-ground, and reduces arc flash energy during maintenance. The unit features an insulated labyrinth vertical bus, arc-free insulated bus system, arc-free bucket design, and horizontal bus bracing of 150 kA (3 cycle). www.eaton.com Generator sets Gemini Twin Pack genset with a 1,000 kW rating from Generac uses onboard paralleling technology and two 500kW gensets operating within a single, sound attenuated enclosure to produce power. Designed for use in hospitals, airports, office buildings, manufacturing plants, data centers, and retail superstores, the platform is powered by a pair of 16-liter Volvo six cylinder in-line Tier II diesel engines with 500kW alternators at 1,800 rpm. The genset’s footprint is 176 sq. ft and is UL 2200 listed for safety and verification of rated power output. www.generac.com Drive controller Square D brand S-Flex enclosed drive controller from Schneider Electric provides a solution for commercial pump and fan applications. The drive controller features a simple start-up, including preprogrammed parameters, and installation with EZ-M mounting.The Windows-based PCSoft software allows users to adjust parameters, transfer drive configuration files, monitor driver performance, and configure, adjust, and control remotely. The controller is available in two horsepower ranges, from 1 to 40 hp at 208 V and 1 to 100 hp at 460 V. www.us.squared.com Engine generator set The 3,250-kW engine generator set from Katolight is a 1,800-rpm unit that features a four-cycle 20V4000 G83L diesel, 95.4-liter displacement, and common rail injection. The 20-cylinder engine uses an electronic advanced diesel engine control that automatically adapts engine power to working altitude and ambient conditions. The unit’s permanent magnetic generator features a 300% short circuit capacity, 2/3 pitch, and form wound coils. In addition, the maximum power ratings at standby are 4,678 bhp with a fuel consumption rate of 231 gal/hr and 4,035 bhp and 182 gph at prime. www.katolight.com 10 M AY 2008 Specifiers Guide • Consulting-Specifying Engineer http://www.cumminspower.com http://www.eaton.com http://www.eaton.com http://www.generac.com http://www.us.squared.com http://www.katolight.com
