EXAMPLE:
This is an example of return from Test on Load function when the same setting are applied as in
previous example and AMF setting:ReturnTo Mains = ENABLED.
Logical Binary Input TEST ON LOAD is deactivated. Because Parallel operation is not allowed controller
performs return with break. Because return to Mains is enabled, controller opens MGCB, waits for
AMF Settings:FwRetBreak and closed MCB. See the figure below for detailed path.
Activation by pushing MCB or MGCB button. This is available only if
AMF settings:ReturnTo mains is set to DISABLED.

- MGCB button: Gen-sets are synchronized to Mains via MGCB and MGCB closes. If there are not
enough gen-sets (running with GCB closed) to cover the actual load, alarm is issued WrnTstOnLdFail
and MCB stays closed. If the load goes down alarm is then deactivated and MCB is opened.
- MCB button: MCB is opened and MGCB is closed after FwRetBreak if there is enough running gen-
sets to support actual selected reserve for start.
Return to Mains after using buttons to initiate Test on Load function may be performed by changing or
forcing to ENABLED value to AMF settings:ReturnTo mains or by changing into different mode (e.g.
AUT mode). If the controller is switched to another mode, it behaves accordingly to that mode and the
current situation.
EXAMPLE:
Test on Load was performed by pushing MCB button. ProcessControl:Parallel enable = DISABLED
and ProcessControl:Synchro enable = NONE. Load is on gen-sets and the system is in Island
operation. Mode is changed to AUT. Controller counts down AMF settings:Mains ret del and if
