If all the ABP protections are enabled in both BUS TIE breaker controller 1 and BUS TIE breaker controller 2:
• If the governor/AVR fails on Genset A:
◦ One of the ABP protections trips bus tie breaker 1, to protect the section with Gensets C, D, E and F.
◦ Bus tie breaker 2 does not trip, because there is a closer bus tie breaker with ABP enabled (that is, bus tie breaker 1).
• If the governor/AVR fails on Genset C:
◦ One of the ABP protections trips bus tie breaker 1, to protect the section with Gensets A and B.
◦ One of the ABP protections trips bus tie breaker 2, to protect the section with Gensets E and F.
If all the ABP protections are only enabled on BUS TIE breaker controller 2:
• If the governor/AVR fails on Genset A:
◦ One of the ABP protections trips bus tie breaker 2, to protect the section with Gensets E and F.
• If the governor/AVR fails on Genset C:
◦ One of the ABP protections trips bus tie breaker 2, to protect the section with Gensets E and F.
If none of the ABP protections are enabled in the BUS TIE breaker controllers, but all of the ABP protections are enabled in the
GENSET controllers:
• If the governor/AVR fails on Genset A:
◦ One of the ABP protections can trip the Genset A generator breaker.
◦ One of the AC protections can trip the Genset A generator breaker.
◦ One of the AC protections can trip Genset B, C, D, E or F's generator breaker.

Delay after load
share changes
0 s to 1 h 12 s
