11 COMMISSIONING 
11.1  STEP 1. SINGLE UNIT DEBUGGING 
1)  Check the parameter configuration of the controller;           
2)  Check the gen-set connections and MSC CAN connection lines between the units. (E.g. if 3 
generators are correctly connected, SYNC screen will display Module Number: 3). 
3)  In manual mode, check if engine and generator data is normal; 
4)  In manual mode check if switch opens and closes normally; 
5)  In manual mode, after closing the breaker check if generator frequency can be adjusted to the 
rated frequency (e.g. set the rated frequency as 52Hz/48Hz); 
6)  In manual mode, after closing the breaker check if generator voltage can be adjusted to the 
rated voltage (e.g. set the rated voltage as 240V/220V); 
7)  Activate manual start on-load, check if power factor, active power and reactive power  are 
normal;  if  negative  value  occurs,  check  generator  voltage  and  current  phase  sequence, 
current  transformer  incoming  line  direction,  current  transformer  secondary  current  dotted 
terminal; 
8)  In manual mode do performance tests according to the national standards. 
Note: Please refer to HGM6500 Synchronization Plan List for more information on GOV 
and AVR settings. 
11.2    STEP 2: MANUAL PARALLEL OPERATION OFF-LOAD 
1)  Manually close parallel sets, check that the units synchronization is balanced and breaker 
close impulse current is not too high; 
2)  During parallel operation off load, check that there is no high circumfluence on HGM9510 
current screen; 
3)  During parallel operation off load, check if the output of active and reactive power is equal to 
zero; if it is not, then check if there is power oscillation; if there is, adjust the gain and stability 
values of HGM9510 controller, or adjust engine GOV or  generator AVR  gain and stability 
potentiometer to avoid active and reactive power oscillation; output close to 0.   
11.3    STEP 3: MANUAL PARALLEL OPERATION ON-LOAD 
1)  During manual parallel, perform on-load test and check if active and reactive power is evenly 
distributed between all the gensets; 
2)  During manual parallel, perform ramp on-load test to see if there is high overshoot or power 
oscillation during this period; if there is, regulate Load Ramp via PC software; 
3)  During  manual  parallel,  perform  ramp  off-load  test  to  see  if  gen-set  breaker  opens  after 
reaching minimum set value (%);
