GB ON sequence/synchronising

The GB ON sequence can be started when the generator is running and the terminal 25 (start sync./control)
is activated. The regulation will start and control the genset in order to synchronise the breaker.

The busbar voltage must be above 70 % × U

NOM

in order to initiate the synchronising.

When the GB opens, there is a 10 s delay that prevents it from closing immediately after it has
opened. This is to ensure that there is sufficient time to change mode and control inputs.

GB ON sequence/blackout closing

In order to make a blackout closing, terminal 25 must be activated and the measurements from the busbar
must be missing. The breaker will close if the generator voltage is within the settings of 2110 sync. blackout.

The busbar voltage must be below 30 % × U

in order to initiate the black busbar closing.
