DKG-325 User Manual
DESCRIPTION
DKG-325, is a ready-to-use control and transfer panel
for gasoline and diesel gensets rated up to 15kVA. It
supports both 1 and 3 phase gensets.
The unit incorporates all necessary components for
battery charging, genset control and load transfer
between mains and genset.
Gensets may be automatized using the DKG-325,
without the need for any additional equipment. Thanks
to the unit, automatization of small gensets has become
easy and cost effective.
In AUTO position, the unit monitors 3 phases of the
mains, runs and stops the genset automatically and
performs load transfer. When the engine is running, it
monitors internal protections and alarm inputs.
The unit features 2 contactors, battery charging rectifier
and the automatic control circuitry in one enclosure. It is
the equivalent of a complete genset control panel.
Internal contactors are rated for 40Amp switching and
are capable of carrying 25Amp continuously.
Fuel and crank outputs are provided through 40Amp
rated relays and do not require additional relays.
The internal battery charging rectifier is rated 1Amp
@12V-DC. The internal rectifier is sufficient for the float
charging of the engine start battery.
The unit features 3 internal current transformers. It
measures currents and power from both genset and
mains.
Timers, threshold levels, input and output configurations
are digitally programmable. Programs are modified
through front panel pushbuttons and do not require an
additional unit.
