Control Panels

The Elcos designed and manufactured QPE-C control panels are automatic mains failure panels (AMF panels) using sophisticated microprocessor circuitry to monitor both the overall generator and engine performance.
The panel is equipped with a three-positioned key that sets the type of operation:
- With the key in 0 position, both the panel and the generating set are off.
- With the key in manual, the start-up is initiated by the operator by pressing the “start” button.
- With the key in automatic, depending on the operation mode, start-up can be initiated via an external contact: mains failure, MODBUS control, or a mobile SMS message.
During operation, all the electrical and mechanical parameters of the generating set are shown on the display and all protections are activated, including: overload, short-circuit and earth fault if provided.
If a fault occurs, the opening coil will open the switch, disconnecting the load and after a cooling-down period, the engine will stop.
Combined with an Automatic Transfer Switch (ATS), the QPE-C provides complete generator protection from mains power supply failures.
Teleprocessing software for monitoring and configuration is supplied as part of the QPE-C control panel package. Other remote monitoring options include:
- Remote display panels
- 4 alarm module
- 14 alarm module
- Remote control modem
- Start and Stop remote control (600m maximum)
