GE Digital Energy’s Zenith ZDEC 2020 modular paralleling switchgear (PSG) has system solutions for Emergency-Standby applications where a complete digital and manual hardwired backup controls providing 24x7x365 monitoring and reduced footprint size is desired. Integrated metering and communications, high-level diagnostics and unsurpassed flexibility make the ZDEC 2020 a perfect solution for todays mission critical standby emergency source switching.
The Zenith ZDEC 2020 modular PSG system goes beyond just source switching and control. Its a complete flexible, safe, modular and easy to operate solution. ZDEC 2020 is compatible with multiple brands, sizes and types of generator sets. A single ZDEC 2020 system communcates with multiple generator manufactures without parts changes or hardware re-configuration to ZDEC's controls.
Generator Optimization controls with Flexible priority setting
Load Add / Shed controls with priority selection
Manual hardwire backup of all critical control components
Advanced Control system (ACS) – 15” Color Touch screen operator interface panel (OIP) for metering, monitoring alarms/shutdowns, Trending and history and controls for Non-Emergency modes of operations
Master PLC with Manual controls in the event of a PLC or touchscreen failure
35% reduced overall system footprint than non-modular systems on the market today
Easy installation and commissioning by electrical Contractor, Genset Dealers or End Users
45% reduced overall system weight than non-modular systems on the market today
Compatible with multiple brands, sizes and types of generator sets – one ZDEC 2020 system communicates with multiple generator manufacturers without parts changes or hardware re-configuration to ZDEC controls
Parallel generators with different kW ratings
Full flexibility in the choice of breaker manufacturer, LV/MV, traditional or arc-resistant construction
Safety
Place the power section in restricted electrical room or safe distance from operators to reduce PPE and arc flash hazards
Control section can be placed in a location accessible and convenient for operators
Field Modular and Scalable
Master/System Controls are pre-configured for up to (6) generators and (32) transfer switches or breakers
Rack-in/rack-out generator controls*
Master controls automatically recognize an added generator and permits simple touchscreen generator setup*
Add a generator in the field in hours,not days, like non-modular designs*
(* Patent pending)
Ease of Operation
Integrated manual controls for each generator
Hardwired sync scope with LEDs for fast response and pin-point accurate manual paralleling – not susceptible to phase-mismatching due to typical network or touchscreen computer delays
Large status LEDs show generator and system status at a distance – not compromised by touchscreen “screen saver” modes
