GCB Synchronization
The generator power circuit breaker (GCB) will be synchronized with frequency and voltage correction if the fol-
lowing conditions are met simultaneously:
Preset limits admissible • voltage V
SS
85 to 112 % V
setpoint
Busbar • frequency f
SS
90 to 110 % f
rated
Automatic operation
• the "AUTOMATIC" operating mode is selected
• one of the circuit breaker logics "parallel", "interchange" or "closed transition" are acti-
vated while in configuration mode
• no alarm class 2 or 3 alarm is present
• on input "Automatic 1" (terminal 3) or "Automatic 2" (terminal 5) is applied, or the re-
mote starting signal is activated via the interface
• voltage is applied to the busbar
• the genset is running, and the generator voltage and frequency are within the range
• the busbar voltage and frequency are within the preset limits
• the delayed engine monitoring has been executed
Manual operation
• "MANUAL" operating mode has been selected
• one of the circuit breaker logics "parallel", "interchange" or "closed transition" is active
while in configuration mode
• no alarm class 2 or 3 alarm is present
• voltage is applied to the busbar
• the genset is running, and the generator voltage and frequency are within the range
• the busbar voltage and frequency are within the preset limits
• the button "GCB ON" has been activated
Load test operation
• the "TEST" operating mode is selected
• one of the circuit breaker logics "parallel", "interchange" or "closed transition" are acti-
vated while in configuration mode
• no alarm class 2 or 3 alarm is present
• voltage is applied to the busbar
• the genset is running, and the generator voltage and frequency are within the range
• the busbar voltage and frequency are within the preset limits
• the button "GCB ON" has been activated
