The engine generator being delivered to University of Minnesota Duluth is a 300KW natural gas power system manufactured by Wisconsin, US-based Generac Power Systems. The engine generator system will be installed outside in an ultra quiet sound attenuated enclosure. The system also includes one ASCO Series 7000 Bypass Isolation automatic transfer switch rated 1200amps.

The bypass portion of the transfer switch also allows maintenance to be performed without any interruptions from normal utility power.
