PowerCommand® X-Series: Reliable Power & Critical Data at your Fingertips
For over 80 years Cummins Power Generation has been redefining reliable power transfer equipment and in May of 2021 launched a new series of transfer switches to the North America market, the PowerCommand® X-Series Transfer Switches.
X-Series Features
The X-Series has been designed in response to market demands for high performance withstand and closing ratings (WCR), easier selection for over-current protection devices, simplified selective coordination strategies, and the need for smarter and more integrated controls. Most importantly, the X-Series has been tested and certified to the highest and most stringent standard in the industry, UL1008 Standard for Safety Transfer Switch Equipment, reflecting the importance of safety, reliability, and performance which are critical for power systems applications.
At the heart of the X-Series transfer switch design lies the High Endurance Mechanism (HEM) with the Cummins patented blow-on technology. The blow-on technology enables high short-time ratings which have been designed to minimize contact damage during fault conditions. This means the transfer switches can retain the capacity to carry up to 100% of their rated load, allowing for high survivability in extreme fault conditions, in both magnitude and duration, that often blow out or damage other transfer switches. With the high short-time ratings, costly repairs or inconvenient downtime can be minimized.
The transfer switches are equipped with state-of-the-art, fully integrated control: the PowerCommand® 80. The control features a 4.3” color LED-backlit LCD display with tactile-feel soft-buttons for effortless operation and screen navigation. In addition, the sensing, control algorithm, power quality metering, load management, diagnostics, event logging, and communication are all accessible in this one control without the need for any additional hardware nor complicated setups.
With input from over 1,000 consulting specifying engineers, the PowerCommand® X-Series transfer switches have been engineered for optimized performance and simplified operation and represent the next generation of power system innovation and design for reliable power transfer between the grid and critical backup power.
Industry Awards
Since its launch, the X-Series has been heralded across the industry and has now been recognized with
three prestigious industry awards:
2021 Consulting Specifying Engineers (CSE) Product of the Year Award
2021 NFMT FacilitiesNet (FN) Vision Award
2021 Diesel Progress Notable New Products Award
PowerCommand® Transfer Switch Remote Annunciator
On the heels of the X-Series launch, Cummins released the new PowerCommand® Transfer Switch Remote Annunciator in November of 2022. This new effort allows you to remotely monitor up to eight X-Series transfer switches on one easy-to-read LCD screen.
At a glance, you will know the transfer switch position, source availability, and whether there are active events or alerts. An Intuitive user interface provides you access to additional Information for each transfer switch Including source voltage, frequency, and alert logs and command functions to Initiate tests, override transfer timers, and load shed remotely.
No special tools required, all the critical information you need is at your fingertips without a special setup or configuration. You’ll be able to rest easy knowing that information is protected with three levels of California SB-327 compliant password protection.
