With the need for more power, we are finding more medium voltage applications with a medium voltage alternator and ANSI C37.20.2 gear, are becoming specified. Many staff members and contractors are hesitant to work with medium voltage systems. The solution is our integrated paralleling Modular Power Systems (MPS) concept. By paralleling on the low voltage side and feeding one or multiple transformers, various system advantages can be realized: - Facility staff are typically more comfortable interacting with low voltage generators. - Low voltage equipment is much easier and quicker to source. - Low voltage rental equipment can be used when needed. - No medium voltage paralleling switchgear sections are required resulting in a smaller footprint and significant cost savings. While diesel has been the traditional fuel choice, many telecommunications companies are now considering the use of natural gas or bi-fuel generators as standby power for telecomm. This is done upon approval of the AHJ, to meet the need for extended runtimes.
Cell tower locations vary: they are either in the middle of cities or in the middle of nowhere. Generac manufactures sound-attenuated enclosures that reduce the noise level for city or urban cell tower locations. We also produce extreme weather-resistant enclosures, should your tower be located on a mountain, near the ocean or in the Midwest and subject to a variety of weather events.
Generac also provides a range of controllers for remote monitoring that shows all the vital operating parameters of the generator set.
