CEA7 CONTROL UNIT ALARMS | PAGE 40
MINIMUM GENSET FREQUENCY
The CEA7 control unit's minimum genset frequency alarm is associated with the
condition that the frequency generated by the genset is below the minimum
frequency limit set (Thresholds table, parameter 6).
The measurement of genset frequency is carried out on the rst phase. If in that
phase no signal is detected, the frequency measurement is then carried out on
the second phase. Likewise, if in that phase no signal is detected either, the
frequency measurement is then carried out on the third phase.
Detection of the genset minimum frequency alarm is set by default (Alarms table,
parameter 64) to be activated under nominal engine conditions.
A minimum genset frequency alarm can be associated a debounce time (Alarms
table, parameter 65) during which the frequency must be kept below the
maximum threshold limit set (Thresholds table, parameter 6).
The minimum genset frequency alarm is set by default (Alarms table, parameter
66) to perform a stop of the engine with cooling.
UNEXPECTED STOP
The CEA7 control unit's unexpected stop alarm is generated if, while the engine
is running, all the running engine conditions are no longer detected (Table
Regulations, parameters 19-22).
STOP FAILURE
The stop failure alarm of the CEA7 control unit goes off if after a time has
elapsed (Times table, parameter 36) after the engine has been ordered to stop,
not all the conditions programmed for the detection of a stopped engine have
been met (Regulations table, parameters 19 to 22).
In the event the stop failure alarm has been disabled (Alarms table, parameter
70), after waiting a maximum of 15 seconds for stopped engine conditions, the
control unit considers that the engine is stopped.
To detect the engine as stopped, all the stop conditions must be detected for a
set period of time (Alarms table, parameter 71).
SHORT CIRCUIT
The CEA7 control unit's short circuit alarm is associated with the condition that
the measurement of the RMS current is above the maximum short circuit limit set
(Thresholds table, parameter 8). The phases which are evaluated for the detection
of the short circuit alarm are selected depending on the conguration of the
installation phases (Thresholds table, parameter 1):
• In a single phase conguration phase 1 is tested.
• In a two-phase conguration phases 1 and 2 are tested.
• In a two-phase selector conguration phases 1 and 3 are tested.
• In a three-phase conguration with neutral or three-phase without
neutral phases 1, 2 and 3 are tested.
Detection of the short-circuit alarm is set by default (Alarms table, parameter 58)
to be activated under nominal engine conditions. The short circuit alarm is set by
default (Alarms table, parameter 60) to perform a stop of the engine with cooling.
MINIMUM GENSET VOLTAGE
The CEA7 control unit's minimum genset voltage alarm is associated with the
condition that the measurement of the genset's RMS voltage is less than the
minimum voltage limit set (Thresholds table, parameter 3).
The phases which are evaluated for the detection of the minimum genset voltage
alarm are selected depending on the conguration of the installation phases
(Thresholds table, parameter 1):
• In a single phase conguration voltage V1N is tested.
• In a two-phase conguration voltage V12 is tested.
• In a three-phase conguration with neutral or three-phase without
neutral, phases V12, V23 and V13 are tested.
Detection of the minimum genset voltage alarm is set by default (Alarms table,
parameter 61) to be activated under nominal engine conditions. A minimum
genset voltage alarm can be associated a debounce time (Alarms table,
parameter 62) during which the voltage between genset phases (VG12, VG23 or
VG31) must be kept below the minimum threshold limit set (Thresholds table,
parameter 3). The minimum genset voltage alarm is set by default (Alarms table,
parameter 63) to perform a stop of the engine with cooling.
