Potential Transformer (PT) Inputs
Potential Transformers (PTs) are utilized with the EGCP-2 control to allow high
voltages to be stepped down to a safe level for the EGCP-2 input circuitry. The
EGCP-2 control senses generator output voltage through three Generator PTs,
and utility and plant-bus voltages via one shared utility/plant-bus PT.

Because the same EGCP-2 input is used to sense both the utility and
local bus voltages, the two PT signals must be identical in
configuration (Wye or Delta), phase (A-B or A-N), and amplitude for
correct input readings.
Generator PT Input Wiring
The EGCP-2 utilizes a 6-wire generator PT input configuration. This type of
configuration allows the EGCP-2 to be easily wired to either Delta or Wye
generators or transformers. The EGCP-2 control uses all three phases of the
generator to sense both real and reactive generator power. Refer to the Figure
3-5 for Delta based wiring diagrams and Figure 3-6 for Wye based wiring
diagrams. Once wired into a Delta or Wye circuit, the EGCP-2 must also be
programmed to sense the correct (Delta or Wye) configuration.
