GSC200 Genset Controller

Auto Mains Failure
Single or 3-Phase

The GSC200 is an Auto Mains (utility) Failure Control module that provides Autostart and a range of engine monitoring and protection features. The GSC200 is designed to automatically start the generator when the mains (utility) power fails. When the mains (utility) power is restored the unit will transfer the load back to the mains (utility) supply and instruct the engine to begin the cool down timer. The GSC200 is an ideal controller to mate with a no-logic transfer switch for cost sensitive applications (ask about our Vigilant ATS without logic). The AMF functions can also be disabled and used as a conventional autostart control with a full-logic ATS.
