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
