DEIF IPM-1 Intelligent Power Manager – Centralised Control for Multi-source Power Systems

• Warranty: 365 days

• Lead time: 1 week if in stock; no more than one month at the latest

• Payment: 50% advance payment; full payment before delivery

• Express options: FedEx, UPS, DHL

• Automatic power management – Balances load across gensets, manages import/export with mains, and maintains spinning reserve where required.

• Breaker supervision & sequencing – Coordinates generator, bus-tie, and mains breakers with synch check and permissives for safe switching.

• Load sharing and droop/isochronous support – Works with DEIF genset controllers for kW/kvar sharing; helps reduce fuel burn and mechanical stress.

• Black start & load shedding – Restores power after a blackout and sheds non-critical loads automatically when capacity drops.

• Peak shaving & demand control – Limits utility import by bringing gensets online during demand spikes; often slashes demand charges.

• Scalable architecture – Typically supports multi-bus, multi-source topologies; straightforward expansion as plants grow.

• Open communications – Modbus connectivity for PLC/SCADA; coordination with DEIF AGC controllers over CAN/Ethernet is common.

• Event logging & alarms – Aids troubleshooting with timestamps for breaker events, load steps, and interlock states.

The IPM-1 is typically used in:

• Industrial plants with multiple gensets and a utility intertie (cement, chemicals, food & beverage)

• Hospitals, data centers, and airports requiring no-break transfer and priority load shedding

• Oil & gas and mining sites where islanded operation and black-start capability matter

• Marine and offshore power systems with multi-bus synchronization and tie-breaker logic

• Microgrids combining diesel, PV, and BESS for peak shaving and import/export control

• Reliability – Purpose-built sequencing reduces nuisance trips; breaker checks and interlocks lower operator risk.

• Compatibility – Works seamlessly with DEIF AGC series; Modbus links to existing PLC/SCADA minimize re-engineering.

• Lifecycle savings – Better load sharing and peak shaving typically cut fuel and demand charges; reduces running hours per unit.

• Faster commissioning – Parameter-based setup instead of custom code; clear status and event logs help shorten FAT/SAT.

• Support ecosystem – Firmware tools, application notes, and trained partners; spare parts availability is usually strong.

A maintenance manager at a food plant summed it up neatly: “Once we enabled spinning reserve and automatic shedding, our Monday morning starts stopped tripping the mains breaker. It seems to be doing exactly what we hoped.”

• Cabinet & environment – Mount in a clean, dry, ventilated control cabinet; allow space for heat dissipation and service access.

• Wiring practices – Use separate routing for power and signal; twisted pair for RS-485; shield and ground as per EMC best practice.

• Breaker interlocks – Verify permissives and feedbacks before live operation; test open/close sequences under supervision.

• Commissioning – Set power import/export limits, load priorities, and spinning reserve; validate with staged load tests.

• Routine maintenance – Back up configuration, review event logs monthly, and update firmware during planned outages; check terminal tightness annually.

• CE compliant; RoHS aligned components

• Manufactured under ISO 9001 quality systems

• UL/cUL conformity available for selected configurations (check specific variant)

• Standard manufacturer warranty: 12 months

• DEIF AGC-150 or AGC-4 genset controllers for each generator

• DEIF LS-5 breaker controller for tie/mains breaker automation

• Power meters and protection relays for feeder-level visibility and protection selectivity
