The controls are available in three conﬁgurations and all conﬁgurations include a main control board and human machine interface (HMI). The PowerCommand 1 has standard features and is intended for single generator set applications. The PowerCommand 2 has enhanced features for single generator set control both in critical and non-critical applications. The PowerCommand 3 is a premium-featured systems for digital paralleling control with a utility and with generator sets from different manufacturers. The HMI provides intuitive generator set operations for all generator functions, including metering, conﬁguration, and fault diagnostics. It includes backlit graphics on an LCD display, plug and play operations, and dedicated manual/off/auto function switches with mode LEDs and conﬁgurable access codes. Each control may be changed to upgrade or expand the power generation system, including moving from a single generator system to a paralleling system. The control systems are available in selected generator sets now and will be phased into the full line throughout the year. www.cumminspower.com #1 Heaters True Dual 2-Stage heaters from Solaronics have reﬂectors that are user adjustable and rotate up to 30 degrees to direct heat where needed with precisely regulated high- and low-heat combustion stages for optimum efﬁciency. The heaters are design-certiﬁed by CSA International to ANSI/CGA standards and are approved for indoor and outdoor use. Input ratings range from 85,000/65,000 Btuh (high heat/low heat) to 200,000/145,000 Btuh. Important features include energy-saving direct spark ignition, 100% safety shutoff, fully assembled and factory tested burners, heavy duty 12-gauge black steel combustion and heat exchanger tubes, and simple chain mounting. www.solaronicsusa.com #2 Active filter Eliminate harmonic distortion in HVAC/R applications for maximized grid capacity, systemwide operational efﬁciency and reliability with the Active Filter from Danfoss Drives. The ﬁlter is constructed from VLT variable frequency drive technology and engineered to mitigate harmonics to a lower level than passive and 18-pulse ﬁlter options. The ﬁlter adapts and performs in various installations, while improving the power factors and canceling harmonic distortion. The improved power factor equals 1 at any load condition, and the grid capacity increases because derating transformers are not necessary when harmonic distortion is mitigated. www.danfossdrives.com #3 Adjustable frequency drive Prevent transformer overheating while signiﬁcantly reducing line harmonics with the CPX 9000 Drive from Eaton. The model uses 18-pulse, clean power technology to provide pure sinusoidal waveforms. With the smallest footprint in the industry, the drive exceeds the requirements of IEEE 519-1992 for harmonic distortion. The drive is available in indoor and outdoor conﬁgurations at 208 V, 480 V, and 575 V. The model installs by integrating the ﬁlter into the drive enclosure, which offers a smaller footprint than what loose ﬁlters and drive combinations offer. www.eaton.com #4 58 Consulting-Specifying Engineer • MARCH 2008 http://WWW.CSEMAG.COM/QUICKRESPONSE http://www.cumminspower.com http://www.solaronicsusa.com http://www.danfossdrives.com http://www.eaton.com
