BaseBox
MAINS SUPERVISION CONTROLLER
BASE UNIT FOR USE WITH DETACHABLE
COLOURDISPLAY

Description
InteliMainsNTC BaseBox is designed for
multiple (up to31) gen-sets operating in
parallel to mains. The controller connects
the group of gen-sets to the mains. It
can serve as a bus-tie synchronizing
controller between two groups of
gen-sets or as a feeder controller.

InteliMainsNTC BaseBox provides

4applications for different site
topology selectable by software:

with MCB (Mains Circuit Breaker)

with MCB and MGCB (Master
Generator Circuit Breaker)
with BTB (Bus-tie Breaker)
with LCB (Local Circuit Breaker)

According to the type of application, it

controls MCB, MGCB, BTB or LCB and
it allows reverse synchronizing of the
gen-set group operating in multi-island
1) mode to the mains (MCB application),
to another group of gen-sets (BTB
application) or forward synchronizing
of the gen-sets (MGCB application). The
controller measures mains power, power
factor, reactive and apparent power
and 3-phase system import / export.

The addition of a new large colour

display brings easy to read and improved
presentation of critical information.

The controller is available in two models:

InteliMainsNT BaseBox and

Applied Power Engineering
ComAps InteliMains controller is essential for our bespoke and often complex power generation
solutions. The InteliMains functionality, when used in partnership with the internal virtual PLC,
makes a robust platform adaptable to virtually all applications. Add to that the Dual-Redundant
capability of InteliMains and a super-resilient system can be created. The enhanced communication
options are also a huge benefit enabling remote monitoring, control and interfacing via
third-party monitoring systems: The overall flexibility of ComAps modular concept enables Applied
Power Engineering to create specialised configurations to exactly meet our customers needs.
