In our latest unboxing video, Chip Leigh, Head of Hardware, walks through Cygnus, our UL 3141-certified power control system built for the new era of flexible interconnections. If your business is constrained by utility limits, Cygnus helps you tap into the real power available on the grid safely, reliably, and in real time.

Utilities are shifting to dynamic, real-time power availability. Cygnus gives you access to that power as it fluctuates so your operations aren’t held back by outdated fixed limits.

  • UL-3141 certified
  • Import control available today
  • Export + multi-source control on the way
  • Built for facilities that need more power, more of the time

Every Cygnus kit comes complete and ready to install with:

  • Rogowski Coils: Flexible, easy-install sensors that wrap around each of your three service phases to deliver real-time current monitoring. This isideal for fast retrofits.
  • Connectivity Kit: LAN cable + Wi-Fi antennas that let the system connect to your network. For highly secure sites, we can ship with Starlink to keep Cygnus fully outside your firewall.
  • Industrial PC: A compact industrial computer that does all the thinking: importing utility limits, processing telemetry, and ensuring your facility stays within permitted power bands—while using every watt available.
  • SEL-751 Relay: A trusted Schweitzer relay that enables UL-certified retrofits and safe limit enforcement, even in large industrial service panels.
