Phase
matching
Slip frequency: The synchronizer adjusts the generator frequen-
cy to a point greater than the busbar. The slip frequency is deter-
mined by the setting of Slip frequency setpoint offset (parameter
5502). The generator will always close to the bus at a higher fre-
quency, eliminating the possibility of reverse power.
Phase matching: The frequency controller adjusts the phase an-
gle of the generator to that of the busbar.
frequency
setpoint
offset
The offset for the synchronization to the busbar. With this offset,
the unit synchronizes with a positive slip.
Example:
If this parameter is configured to 0.10 Hz and the busbar/mains
frequency is 60.00 Hz, the synchronization setpoint is 60.10 Hz.

2 0.02 to 0.49 Hz 0.18 Hz The prerequisite for a close command being issued for the GCB is
that the differential frequency is below the configured differential
frequency. This value specifies the upper frequency (positive val-
ue corresponds to positive slip > generator frequency is higher
than the busbar frequency).

differential
GCB
The prerequisite for a close command being issued for the GCB is
that the differential frequency is above the configured differential
frequency. This value specifies the lower frequency limit (negative
value corresponds to negative slip > generator frequency is less
than the busbar frequency).
The prerequisite for a close command being issued for the GCB is
that the leading phase angle between generator and busbar is be-
low the configured maximum permissible angle.
The prerequisite for a close command being issued for the GCB is
that the lagging phase angle between generator and busbar is
above the configured minimum permissible angle.

2 Disabled /
Enabled
Enabled Enables or disables the synchronizer voltage matching function.
Independent on this setting the voltage control is still executed but
the synchronizer does not care about the voltage matching.
The maximum permissible voltage differential for closing the
breaker is configured here. If the difference between generator
and busbar voltage does not exceed the value configured here
and the generator- and busbar voltages are within the according
operating voltage windows, the "Command: Breaker Close" may
be issued.
NOTE: When Voltage matching (parameter 7513) is “Disabled”,
the voltage window is set to the maximum value of 10 %.
Enables or disables the synchronizer's automatic deadbus detec-
tion and breaker closure functions. When enabled, the synchro-
nizer will insure a breaker closure signal when a dead-bus is de-
tected. (This incorporates the dead busbar closure negotiation to
potential other DSLC-2 or MSLC-2 devices)
2 0 to 30 % 10 % Adjustable voltage in percentage of busbar rated voltage for
deadbus detection.
The inherent closing time of the GCB corresponds to the lead-time
of the close command. The close command will be issued inde-
pendent of the differential frequency at the entered time before the

If the "Reply: Breaker Open" is not detected as energized once
this timer expires, a "GCB fail to open" alarm is issued. This timer
initiates as soon as the "Open breaker" sequence begins.
