Control Overview
Introduction
The EGCP-2 is a microprocessor based complete generator load control and
engine management package. It will operate with a voltage regulator and various
speed controls to automate and protect diesel or gas engine based generator
sets from 400 to 3600 rpm.
Designed for generator sets up to 30,000 kW, the EGCP-2 can be configured to
operate stand-alone or utility paralleled. A network of EGCP-2 controls is capable
of controlling up to eight un-manned generator sets for backup power, baseload,
or peak shaving applications.
Engine Control
 Engine Pre-glow Control
 Fuel Solenoid Control
 Engine Starter Control (Cranking)
 kVA Controlled Cool-down Timer
 Oil Pressure Monitoring
 Water Temperature Monitoring
 Battery Voltage Monitoring
 Speed Monitoring with Overspeed Protection
 Idle /Rated Relay
Synchronizing
 Digital signal processing to eliminate problems induced in systems with high
SCR content causing multiple zero crossing of voltage waveforms.
 Adjustable maximum phase window, voltage window, and dwell times—
windows as small as 2° phase error and 0.1% voltage matching
respectively.
 Safe dead bus closing logic internal to the control.
 Multiple shot re-closing with adjustable time delays, auto-resynchronizing,
and synchronizer time-outs all available.
 Manual voltage and speed adjusts for manual synchronizing (Sync-Check
still active during manual parallels).
 Synchronization across generator and mains breakers.
