Cummins Power Generation introduces DMC 1500 Paralleling System

The DMC 1500 Paralleling System features Cummins Power Generation’s PowerCommand microprocessor-based control technology.

One of the leading manufacturers of power generation systems in the world announced a new system-level control for parallel operation of multiple generator sets.

The DMC 1500 Paralleling System consists of a PowerCommand system-level digital master control integrated with custom-engineered switchgear.

It also communicates directly with PowerCommand generator set and transfer switch controls, for seamless integration.

With the DMC 1500 system, power transitions can be open or closed, in either fast (100 ms) or gradual ramping mode.

The system includes utility paralleling functions for peak-shaving, base-loading and load add/load shed sequence control.

The standard DMC 1500 accommodates four generators and can be expanded for up to eight generators.

A 15-inch touch-screen is used to control and monitor all functions, including system configuration and diagnostics.

Its intuitive graphic interface uses icons and menu bars for maximum usability and ease of navigation. The touchscreen user interface is available in seven languages.

The low or medium-voltage capable DMC 1500 is suitable for a variety of applications, from typical emergency power applications in water treatment plants and office buildings, to prime power at remote locations such as mining facilities where utility power is unavailable or unreliable.
