6.1 POWER TURN-ON PROCEDURE, cont.
6.1.2 Systems Equipped With The Seamless Transfer Option, cont.
If the generator is supplying power to the ship, and the SHIP’S POWER - GENERATOR LED
(12A) is lit, and the GENERATOR metering display indicates approximately the same voltage as the
CONVERTER metering display, then proceed by pressing the SHIP’S POWER - CONVERTER
(9) button. In single or dual-generator installations, a the appropriate generator will be auto-selected
and the transfer will proceed. The converter will match the generator in voltage, frequency, and
phase. When the two power forms are matched, the converter will place itself momentarily in
parallel with the generator, then open the generator circuit breaker removing the generator from the
distribution grid. The entire process may take up to 5 seconds or more to complete. The generator
can now be secured from operation.
If the generator is off-line as indicated by the SHIP’S POWER - GENERATOR LED (12A) being
off, the converter will immediately place itself on the ship’s distribution system, with no
synchronization period required, when the SHIP’S POWER - CONVERTER (9) button is pushed.
When attempting transfer from the converter to the generator, and if the generator is off, or if its
voltage is outside the allowed voltage or frequency limits, the transfer will be aborted.
When load has been transferred to the converter, monitor the converter load currents and voltages.
Ensure the load is within the system ratings as indicated by the STATUS display. Monitor the shore
power voltage and current levels with load applied to avoid tripping shore power breakers. Refer to
published rating curves for maximum current, kVA, and kW levels. Additional loading information
may be obtained on shore power and converter loading by selecting the desired source button (2 &
4), then pressing F2, F3, and F4. To return to the default metering display, press F1.
