APM303

Command/Control

"Emergency and production

generating set management"
The latest addition to the SDMO APM command/control range,
the APM303, opts for simplicity and places the focus on communication.
The APM303 unit is integrated as standard on generating sets designed for
LV industrial applications. It meets the requirements of professionals in terms
of generating set operation and enables simple control.
In the event of a grid outage, the changeover switch supplies the
grid outage signal to the APM303 unit, which automatically starts up the
generating set. Once the changeover switch has switched, the installation is
supplied by the generating set.
This option applies to all of our Power Products generating sets up
to 44kVA.
