Genset control KEA 320 / KEA 320 RP-1

Genset control Data sheetKEA 320 / KEA 320 RP General KEA 3X0 is also available for back panel installation, optionally with touch screen remote panel. DB-KEA 320 / KEA 320 RP_EN Version 04 Genset controls of KEA 3X0 series are used in standard as well as complex applications for emergency power generation. The successor of reliable KEA 2X0 provides a significantly extended scope of functions based on an industryleading system platform. KEA 3X0 complies with all current standard specifications for emergency power applications. Equipped with a comprehensive pre-configuration KEA 3X0 is the ideal compact genset control for generator packagers and system integrators. KEA 320 includes specifically designed algorithms and logic to start, stop, control, and protect the genset, circuit breaker and the utility, where applicable. It allows standardizing on a single, affordable genset controller for distributed power generation applications. The applications range from single stand-alone emergency backup power to parallel load sharing of multiple gen-sets in complex, segmented distribution systems with multiple utility feeds and tie breakers. The versatile KEA 3X0 sets new standards in power management and parallel operation of gensets. At island or parallel operation mode load sharing of up to 32 gensets can be realized with a single utility. KEA 3X0 combines complete engine-generator control and protection with advanced, peer-to-peer paralleling functionality and innovative features in a robust, attractive, user-friendly and all-in-one package. Its integrated programmable logic functionalities provide outstanding application flexibility and can often eliminate the need of an additional PLC control, yet can easily integrate with SCADA or PLC-based control systems where desired. Enhanced connectivity enables fast and secure interfacing to other controls and communications systems KEA 320 also comes without a display in a rugged metal housing suitable for back panel installations. A sophisticated touch screen remote panel complements it as an operator control panel.
