Dead Bus Start
Dead bus start of the GCB
The GCB will be closed without synchronization if the following conditions are met simultaneously:
Automatic mode
• The operation mode AUTOMATIC has been selected
• No class F2 or F3 alarms are present
• The Parameter 145 "GCB dead bus start" has been configured to "ON"
•
The busbar has not been energized (the control measures no voltage)
• The engine is running, and the generator voltage and frequency are within the permissible limits
• The discrete input "Reply: MCB is open" has been enabled (the MCB is open)
• If load is shared via the CAN bus
- No GCB may be closed if the configured system is isolated operation in parallel with other generators
- The generator with the lowest control/generator number (Parameter 4) will be the first to close its GCB
Manual mode

The permissible limits refer to the respective rated values in the system, i.e. the rated system voltage, configured
in Parameter 23, and the rated system frequency, configured in Parameter 11.
