1.0 Introduction
The Alphagen DCX3000 portable DC generator supplies DC power to a power node battery bus
during AC line interruptions. Upon loss of commercial AC power, the existing battery strings supply
the power supply inverters. After some interval of battery discharge, the operator deploys the portable
generator at the site to supply power to the DC bus. The generator delivers continuous, high-quality
power throughout the commercial AC interruption period. After restoration of commercial AC power,
the operator disconnects and removes the generator.
