Protect your Network against expanded power outages during extreme weather conditions.

  • Add an AlphaGen DCX2000 to an Alpha PWE or UPE enclosure
  • Protects generator from inclement weather
  • Prevents theft of valuable portable generators
  • Backwards compatible with existing enclosure
  • Can be easily removed after an outage or left in place
  • Designed to provide four to ten hours of additional runtime


The Generator Expansion Module (GEM) is an innovative way of extending system runtime for new and existing PWE and UPE enclosures. Attached directly to an installed Alpha Enclosure, the GEM houses an AlphaGen Portable Generator. The generator connects to the system’s power supply using a Line Transfer Switch (LTS) that automatically switches to generator power during outages, and returns to grid power when it is restored. Two GEM options allow the module to be installed on either the top or bottom of PWE-3/6 enclosures, as well as securely attach to the top of UPE-3/6 enclosures.

Accessories
Portable AlphaGen™ EU2000 Line Transfer Switch
The Portable AlphaGen in a Alpha-supplied single cylinder, 4-stroke OHC, gasoline, portable generator specially qualified for use in the GEM system. The AlphaGen portable generator can be easily and quickly installed or removed from GEM enclosures, allowing for dynamic and flexible responses to power outages. The generator can be connected to the power supply using an optional Line Transfer Switch (LTS) that automatically switches the power supply to generator power during an outage. Once power has been restored, the Line Transfer Switch (LTS) transfers the load from the generator to qualified utility power without interruption to the load. There is no need for field personnel to manually switch the power supply to utility power.
