Encorp Provides $1.5 Million of Products and Services for Iowa Towns

Three Iowa towns - wanting to generate their own power during peak-demand times -- installed 29 backup-generator systems that feature $1.5 million of Encorp products and services.

The Encorp equipment helps ensure customers in Middle Amana, Mount Pleasant and Wilton, Iowa, experience no interruption in electrical service when power is switched from the main utility grid to the local generators during peak times, such as hot summer months, frigid winter weather or other unexpected emergencies. Altorfer Power Systems of Cedar Rapids, Iowa, which managed the project, selected Encorp products and installed the equipment on a total of 29 two-megawatt Caterpillar gensets.

Encorp paralleling switchgear controls and interconnects on-site electrical generators, located at commercial and industrial facilities, with the electrical grid. The projects also feature Encorp's Gold Box™, which combines traditional control modules, protective relays and network communications capabilities into a single, microprocessor-based device.

Altorfer also used Encorp's Virtual Maintenance Monitor™ software that creates a simple, user-friendly interface for local and remote monitoring and control capabilities.
