CONSULTING – SPECIFYING ® 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 CONSULTING – SPECIFYING ® Adjustable-frequency drive Ampgard SC 9000 from Eaton is a medium-voltage adjustable-frequency drive for up to 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 uses efficient variable speed operation. www.eaton.com CONSULTING – SPECIFYING ® Power Generation Wireless genset monitoring The PowerCommand iWatch wireless monitoring system from Cummins Power Generation remotely monitors generator sets via cellular or satellite networks.
