DEIF’s Automatic Genset Controller (AGC-4) is the

most comprehensive and flexible power management

and protection unit on the market today. A further

development of DEIF’s AGC-3. the new generation

controller is fully compatible with its predecessor and has

been designed to allow for easy, intuitive, and smooth

switch-overs for those looking to upgrade.

Suitable for a wide range of applications, the AGC-4’s

standard sequences include back-up power, start/stop,

synchronisation, and load sharing.

The AGC-4 is simple to incorporate into both new and

existing designs, customising the application to fit your

needs, for instance dedicating specific functions or logic

conditions to different inputs and outputs.

Technologically sophisticated, the AGC-4 is also the

world’s most robust power management controller,

successfully tested to maintain reliability and durability

in extreme weather and hazardous conditions. Approvals

include TÜV and UL.

Applications

The DEIF DU-2/MKIII Paralleling and Protection Unit (24VDC) is

suited for a wide range of applications including Power Plants:

Suitable for small to medium power plants where several generators

run in parallel to cater to a changing load demand.

Marine Use: It is used onboard marine vessels for management 

of power generation and to have stable power supplies for integrated onboard systems.

Industrial Plant Use: It is used in factories and manufacturing units

for a continuous supply of power and protection of power-sensitive equipment.

Data Centers: It guarantees power backup works seamlessly at data

centers as that place needs continuous power supply in order to maintain operations.

Telecommunications: It is implemented in telecom facilities so that there

won’t be a break in the power supply towards essential communication equipment.

Benefits from Using the DEIF DU-2/MKIII

Enhanced System Reliability: The DU-2/MKIII ensures better system

reliability resulting from proper load sharing between generators.

This therefore reduces, hence preventing possible cases of outages and failure.

Increased Efficiency: The advanced load management feature for the generators

in the DU-2/MKIII minimizes fuel consumption as well as lowers operational costs.

Safety Assurance: Improved overall protection mechanisms on the DU-2/MKIII

prevent electrical faults from turning into equipment damage or unsafe operating conditions.

Easy integration: The flexible communication capabilities make easy integration

of the DU-2/MKIII into existing systems, allowing for upgrades without major modifications.

Reduced Downtime: The unit’s advanced protection systems allows for early detection of potential

problems,

which can be addressed promptly; thus reducing the chances of spurious and unplanned downtime.

Key Features

One of the benefits of DU-2/MKIII in paralleling control is that it allows several generators

to share load efficiently so that all units will contribute directly to the general power supply without overloading a single generator.

Comprehensive Protection Functions: The protection features have been incorporated into this unit and,

though numerous, include some of them being overcurrent, under voltage, and frequency monitoring among many others.

These safeguards prevent generators from getting damaged and keep the power system intact.

Simple interface: The DU-2/MKIII comes with a simplified format of the display which makes it easier to monitor and set it up.

All alarm signals and commands may be read and set directly on the unit by operators.

Flexible communication protocols: It also supports different forms of communication protocols

so that it will easily work well with other control systems and devices.

Therefore, it makes the DU-2/MKIII flexible according to any form of installation’s specific demands.

Robust Design : It can face the demands of industrial environments due to its robust material not withstanding dust,

moisture and temperature change without failure, so it surely provides reliable performance over the time line.

Programmable Settings : This unit has an option for extensive programmability.

Modifying conditions in protection settings and operation parameters will be allowed

by making modifications based on their particular requirements and operational conditions.

What is the DEIF DU-2/MKIII?

The DEIF DU-2/MKIII is a paralleling and protection unit designed for power generation applications.

Using it, several generators can be run parallel to each other while delivering seamless output.

In this sense, multiple generators form a working coalition to create stable, dependable power.

More than this, the protection aspects of the DU-2/MKIII naturally safeguard not

only the generators but the loads connected to them against electrical faults.

Therefore, it makes the DU-2/MKIII flexible according to any form of installation’s specific demands.
