Connected shaft generator or shore connection
Activating the
Close breaker
command if a shaft generator is already connected to the busbar and
Power take home

will start a load transfer from the connected shaft generator to gensets under PMS control. After the load is transferred, the controller
will follow the procedure described in the table above to close the shaft generator breaker.

10.3.3 Shaft generator breaker open flowchart
The following flowchart shows the sequence that the controller normally uses to open the shaft generator breaker (SGB). This
sequence is also used for the alarm action
PMS-controlled open breaker
.
The alarm action
Block
does not open a closed breaker, although it stops an open breaker from closing. If the controller or an
operator sends an SGB open command while
Block
is active, the controller uses the shaft generator breaker open sequence, shown
below, to open the SGB.
This flowchart does not apply to switchboard control. When the controller is under switchboard control, it will not open the breaker
(except for a trip). If, for example, the operator presses the push-button
Open breaker
on the display unit, the controller ignores
this command.
