Grid Interconnection Switchgear

The document outlines the features and operational capabilities of Encorp's paralleling switchgear, which supports low and medium voltage circuit breakers ranging from 800 to 5000 amps. It enables automatic synchronization with the utility, remote access, and control, while providing peak-shaving capabilities through soft loading and unloading of generators. The system can be manually or remotely initiated to start and stop generators based on energy demand or set schedules.
