Cat EGP Switchgear
Cat EGP Switchgear
DESCRIPTION
Caterpillar offers standard Switchgear products, which can support a wide variety of applications, or provide a custom designed system to meet your specific project needs. The Emergency Generator paralleling (EGP) product supports paralleling on an isolated generator bus and is commonly used in prime power or emergency standby systems. Caterpillar Standard Switchgear products provide a solution able to combine all elements of monitoring and control for Caterpillar generator sets in a single-source package. Caterpillar also designs and manufacturers custom switchgear to meet specific customer requirements and functionality.EGP (Emergency Generator Paralleling) switchgear is used for paralleling multiple generators that are not directly connected to a utility source.Electric PowerEGP Switchgear
