EPIC- Engine Paralleling and Integration Control - 1

ENGINE PARALLELING AND INTEGRATION CONTROL The Engine Paralleling and Integration Control (EPIC) is a free standing remote mounted system that is an alternative to switchgear mounted controls and is designed for low voltage applications from 208V through 27 kV. The EPIC system eliminates the need for traditional hardwired components such as synchronizers, power factor controllers, load share modules, cross-current c ompensation devices, annunciators, switches and meters by replacing them with the industry proven EMCP 3.S dedicated controller and color touch screen interface. Simple configuration screens allow for easy setup, installation and startup by your local Cat® dealer. The Master Control Panel operates and controls two Cat engine-generators and their electrically operated circuit breakers. The modular design allows for an additional eight EPIC Generator Control Panels to be added to the system. For systems that require paralleling to the utility grid, an EPIC Utility Control Panel may also be added to the system.
