Description
The MGC921 provides economical engine and
generator control for applications not requiring
NFPA-99 or NFPA-110 approval. Models are
available for Manual or Automatic start designed
for 3-phase, 4-wire or 1-phase, 3-wire genera-
tors. Models MGC921 feature mechanical
SWICHGAGE
®
s for engine oil and coolant tem-
perature. Models MGC921E feature EGS elec-
tric SWICHGAGE
®
s. The panels are housed in a
13 x 10 x 11 in. (330 x 254 x 279 mm) shock
mounted NEMA 1 drip-proof enclosure. Current
transformers (CT’s) are not included.
