Overview
The Emergency Transfer and Load management (XLM) product supports transfer between the utility source and generator bus and allows for sustained parallel operation with the utility for load management applications.
Benefits
Flexible Operating Modes
Base Load, Import Setpoint Tracking, Export �Setpoint Tracking, or�Export Limit as well as emergency mode
Reduced Commissioning Times
High-speed network connections to Caterpillar Generator Sets reduces field interconnects
Generator Demand Priority Control
Automatically match the on-line generator capacity to the loads, and avoid unnecessary operation of generator sets
