Hingham, MA – Russelectric, a leading manufacturer of
power control systems and automatic transfer switches,
announced today that it has been awarded the contract to
supply Charlotte Water with paralleling switchgear for
their water and wastewater treatment facilities. The
paralleling switchgear will monitor the incoming utility
power and in the event of a utility power failure, ensure
the transfer of critical emergency backup power to their
facility in Charlotte, NC.
Russelectric will engineer and build each of the two
generator paralleling control and distribution switchgear
systems to control the paralleling operation of three (two
present and one future), 4160-volt, three megawatt
engine generators. Each system will be designed to
provide utility paralleling operation of the engine
generators with the local utility, to provide seamless,
uninterrupted transfer of power between the on-site
engine generators and the incoming utility service. The
control system, a Russelectric engineered solution for
Charlotte Water, will utilize redundant PLC controls and
include full manual capabilities that would allow for
operation of the system in the unlikely event of a failure of
the redundant PLC based controls. Delivery for the initial
system is scheduled for late 2018, with the second
scheduled for early 2019.
With more than six decades of experience manufacturing
and servicing low and medium voltage paralleling
switchgear and transfer switches, Russelectric was
selected based on its ability to meet the stringent design
criteria, delivery schedule and extensive warranty
requirement.
“Russelectric manufactures complete systems in-house,
with all bus, enclosures, and other structural components
fabricated and fully assembled in Russelectric plants here
in the US,” said Stephen McQuaid, Russelectric
Switchgear Product Line Manager. “As standard, we also
perform comprehensive factory testing of the complete
systems prior to shipment.”
