Abstract
A power management system that includes a first enclosure and a second enclosure. A first generator is inside the first enclosure and a second generator is inside the second enclosure. The power management system further includes a paralleling enclosure and a paralleling module inside the paralleling enclosure. The paralleling module electrically connects the first generator to the second generator without opening the paralleling enclosure. The first generator includes an engine and an alternator. A first contactor is powered by the alternator to close the first contactor in order to provide an electrically conductive path from the alternator to an output. The second generator includes an engine and an alternator. A second contactor is powered by the alternator to close the contactor in order to provide an electrically conductive path from the alternator to the output.
