MASTERCLAD™ 
Medium Voltage Metal-Clad Switch gear with Type VR Vacuum Circuit Breakers

The quality of Square D MASTERCLADTM medium voltage metal-clad switch gear stems from a design and manufacturing process that focuses on long-term switch gear performance with the highest degree of reliability.

Reliable performance and safety is enhanced by the rugged construction of MASTERCLAD switch gear. Each switch gear assembly consists of individually grounded, compartmentalized steel structures (with -gauge barriers between vertical sections and major parts of each primary circuit) to protect operating personnel.

Based on specific customer application needs, Square D engineers and technicians select the appropriate standard sections and bus configurations, with the ability to
customize where needed. After the specified circuit breakers, instrument and control power transformers, relays, meters and other components are selected and approved, all are factory-assembled, wired and tested as a complete assembly. This testing is performed to insure reliability by energizing the control circuits and verifying the specified sequence of operation for each metal-clad switch gear project along with the ANSI C37.20.2 Production Tests.

Zenith Energy Commander™

Zenith Energy Commander has been providing customer facilities with reliable power switching systems for many years and continues its excellence into the 21st century. Since the inception of paralleling switchgear, many successful Energy Commander installations have been supplied with a focus on providing reliability.

Zenith Energy Commander has become the leader in supplying solutions to simple and very complex systems due to its design flexibility.

Zenith Energy Commander has evolved and adapted to the changing technologies in engine generator design, switchgear controls and monitoring systems. It reflects GE's continuing commitment to reliable solutions for critical power applications.

The Zenith Energy Commander Paralleling Switchgear product has several hardwired features which ensure trouble-free operation and maximum reliability. Annunciator panels, load control switches and meters are all hardwired components. Upon the unlikely failure of the master control, a back-up engine start operation is hardwired into the system. Also the programmable logic controller (PLC) which runs automatic operations is backed up with a true hardwired manual control.

Finally, as a leader of paralleling switchgear technology, Zenith Energy Commander has an extensive array of successful, trouble free installations around the globe. The breadth of experience and system complexity all make Zenith Energy Commander second to none in the industry.
