10.2.5 AC configuration
More information
The AC configuration and nominal settings chapter describes the AC configuration in general.
The following table shows how the general AC configuration description applies to the SHAFT generator controller.

More information
The Breakers, synchronisation and de-loading chapter describes breaker configuration in general. For the SHAFT
generator controller, replace "[Breaker]" with "Shaft generator breaker" in these descriptions.
10.3 Shaft generator breaker
10.3.1 Introduction
The shaft generator breaker (SGB) connects the shaft generator to the busbar. For the shaft generator breaker to close, the shaft
generator must be running, and the busbar must be synchronised with the shaft generator. The shaft generator breaker is an
important part of the system safety, and trips to protect the shaft generator from problems on the busbar. The shaft generator
breaker also trips to stop shaft generator problems from disturbing the busbar.
More information
See the Breakers, synchronisation and de-loading chapter for more information on synchronisation and breakers. This
includes the inputs and output functions and the parameters to configure.
For the SHAFT generator controller, the breaker abbreviation ([*B]) is SGB. [Breaker] refers to Shaft generator breaker.
10.3.2 Shaft generator breaker close flowchart
The following flowchart shows the sequence that the controller normally uses to close the shaft generator breaker.
More information
See Shaft generator breaker blackout close flowchart for information about how to allow the shaft generator to connect
to a dead busbar.
This flowchart does not apply to switchboard control. When the controller is under switchboard control, it will not close the breaker.
If, for example, the operator presses the push-button Close breaker on the display unit, the controller ignores this command.
