Power Circuit Breaker Control
The closing and opening operations of the generator power circuit breaker (GCB) and the mains power circuit
breaker (MCB) are described in the following diagram. The pulses are switched over in the mask described be-
low, with the signal sequence being affected as indicated (the control of the mains circuit breaker cannot be ef-
fected by means of a continuous impulse). If the "Automatic switch release" screen is set to "ON", an open pulse
is output prior to each close pulse. The "MCB release" inhibits the switching-on of the mains circuit breaker. A
closed mains circuit breaker will not be opened.
