Zenith ZDEC 2020 Modular

GE Digital Energy’s Zenith ZDEC 2020 modular paralleling switchgear (PSG)

has systemsolutions for Emergency-Standby applications where a complete digital and manual hardwired backup controls providing 24x7x365 monitoring and reduced footprint size is desired. Integrated metering and communications, high-level diagnostics and unsurpassed flexibility make the ZDEC 2020 a perfect solution for todays mission critical standby emergency source switching.
The Zenith ZDEC 2020 modular PSG system goes beyond just
source switching and control. Its a complete flexible, safe,
modular and easy to operate solution. ZDEC 2020 is compatible
with multiple brands, sizes and types of generator sets. A single
ZDEC 2020 system communcates with multiple generator
manufactures without parts changes or hardware re-configuration
to ZDEC’s controls.

Features & Benefits

  • Generator Optimization controls with Flexible priority setting
  • Load Add / Shed controls with priority selection
  • Manual hardwire backup of all critical control components
  • Advanced Control system (ACS) – 15” Color Touch screen operator interface panel (OIP) for metering, monitoring alarms/shutdowns, Trending and history and controls for Non-Emergency modes of operations
  • Master PLC with Manual controls in the event of a PLC or touchscreen failure
  • 35% reduced overall system footprint than non-modular systems on the market today
  • Easy installation and commissioning by electrical Contractor, Genset Dealers or End Users
  • 45% reduced overall system weight than non-modular systems on the market today

Flexibility

Compatible with multiple brands, sizes and types of generator sets – one ZDEC 2020 system communicates with multiple generator manufacturers without parts changes or hardware re-configuration to ZDEC controls
Parallel generators with different kW ratings
Full flexibility in the choice of breaker manufacturer, LV/MV, traditional or arc-resistant construction

Safety

  • Place the power section in restricted electrical room or safe distance from operators to reduce PPE and arc flash hazards
  • Control section can be placed in a location accessible and convenient for operators

Field Modular and Scalable

  • Master/System Controls are pre-configured for up to (6) generators and (32) transfer switches or breakers
  • Rack-in/rack-out generator controls*
  • Master controls automatically recognize an added generator and permits simple touchscreen generator setup*
  • Add a generator in the field in hours,not days, like non-modular designs*
  • (* Patent pending)

Ease of Operation

  • Integrated manual controls for each generator
  • Hardwired sync scope with LEDs for fast response and pin-point accurate manual paralleling – not susceptible to phase-mismatching due to typical network or touchscreen computer delays
  • Large status LEDs show generator and system status at a distance – not compromised by touchscreen “screen saver” modes
