Description

The compact and powerful MGC2000 generator control system features a unique, simple-to-install and setup design and enhanced operation.

The control method for the MGC2000 may be specified for using either the AS3000 Autostart automatic controller or the 518APH electrically tripped annunciator method.

The system is available in two basic configurations:

MGC2000 features mechanical gages:

-MGC2000-AAutomatic Control: with Murphy’s AS3000 Generator Controller.

-MGC2000-MManual Control: with 518APH annunciator control.

Both configurations include standard AC voltmeter, AC ammeter, and frequency meter. Available for single-phase, standard three-phase, and three-phase, re-configurable generators.

MGC2000E features electric gages:

-MGC2000E-AAutomatic Control: with Murphy’s AS3000 Generator Controller.

-MGC2000E-MManual Control: with 518APH annunciator control.

Both configurations include standard AC volt- meter, AC ammeter, and frequency meter. Available for single-phase, standard three-phase, and three-phase, re-configurable generators.

Features

Dynamic design allows for easy installation and full operation flexibility.
