Synchronization
Synchronization of the GCB
The GCB will be synchronized with frequency and voltage correction if the following conditions are met simul-
taneously.
Automatic mode
• The operation mode AUTOMATIC is selected
• One of the circuit breaker logics (Parameter 126) "PARALLEL" (mains parallel operation), "INTER-
CHANGE" (m
ains interchange (import/export) real power control) or "CLOSED TRANSIT." (make-before-
break/overlap synchronization) has been selected
• No class F2 or F3 alarms are present
• An "Automatic 1" (terminal 3) or "Automatic 2" (terminal 5) input has been enabled, a remote starting signal
has be activated via the interface, or an additional engine will be started in an emergency power operation and
will be synchronized to the busbar
• The busbar has been energized (the control measures a voltage)
• The engine is running and the generator voltage and frequency are within the permissible limits
• The delayed engine monitoring (Parameter 307) has expired (this does not apply in the case of emergency
power)
•
The rotating field of the generator and the mains voltages are identical and no alarms are displayed
Manual mode
• The operation mode MANUAL has been selected
• One of the circuit breaker logics (Parameter 126) "PARALLEL" (mains parallel operation), "INTER-
CHANGE" (m
ains interchange (import/export) real power control) or "CLOSED TRANSIT." (make-before-
break/overlap synchronization) has been selected
• No class F2 or F3 alarms are present;
• The busbar has been energized (the control measures a voltage)
• The engine is running and the generator voltage and frequency are within the permissible limits
• The push-button "GCB ON" has been pressed
• The rotating field of the generator and the mains voltages are identical and no alarms are displayed
Load test mode
• The operation mode TEST has been selected
• One of the circuit breaker logics (Parameter 126) "PARALLEL" (mains parallel operation), "INTER-
CHANGE" (m
ains interchange (import/export) real power control) or "CLOSED TRANSIT." (make-before-
break/overlap synchronization) has been selected;
• No class F2 or F3 alarms are present;
• The busbar has been energized (the control measures a voltage)
• The engine is running and the generator voltage and frequency are within the permissible limits
• The push-button "GCB ON" has been pressed
• The rotating field of the generator and the mains voltages are identical and no alarms are displayed
