Networked based paralleling switchgear equipment configuration process

摘要

In an exemplary embodiment, a network-based method for a user to automatically create a paralleling switchgear system using a product configurator system. The product configurator system is software based and resides on a server and accesses a database storing specific manufacturing requirements of the paralleling switchgear system. The user configures a paralleling switchgear system by using the product configurator to specify system information, an engine generator configuration, and a distributor breaker configuration. The user can lookup a quotation and modify it or can generate a new quotation. The product configurator generates drawings and a price quote based on the user configuration.
