User manual GC600-GC600
Mains
25
Following a brief example of the operation sequence of a generic
SSB + SSTP
system, where, when the
mains is back, the parallel with the Generator is performed, so not to leave the Loads not supplied. The system
consists of a public power line “
Mains
”, a “
Load
” line (the load that you want to feed), a “
Generator
” line
(
Generator
set with alternator and drive diesel engine), a control panel containing: a
MCB
contactor to
manage the electric
Mains
, a
GCB
contactor to manage the
Generator
a device
GC600
Mains
to control the
engine and the electric lines concerned, an electronic board to adjust the speed of the engine, a battery trickle
charger and a number of components to manage the auxiliaries (relays, fuses, terminals, etc ...).
Some sequence steps depend on the configuration of the plant, as the circuit breaker management, or the
Mains/Genset status.
7.2.1.1
Off/Reset Mode
In this mode the Genset is off and the Load is usually supplied by the
Mains
with the
MCB
contactor
closed. The supply of the
Load
is guaranteed all the time the
MCB
remains closed because it is fed
by the same
Mains
. If a
Black out
occurs on the
Mains
, the
Load
will remain de-energized and the
gen-set idle. The protections on the electrical measures and on the engine are disabled.
7.2.1.2
MAN Mode
Usually, this mode is used only for the management of the genset by the skilled operators, mainly to
carry out tests on the plant or in particular situations.
In this mode the
Load
is usually powered by the
Mains
with the
MCB
contactor closed. The supply
of the
Load
is guaranteed all the time the
MCB
remains closed because it is fed by the same
Mains
.
The management of the switching between the
Mains
and
Generator
(
MCB
and
GCB
contactors),
the starting and stopping of the Generator set are managed entirely by the operator.
With Genset off, the
MCB
contactor is commanded to open after pressing the “
MCB
” button for at
least 5 seconds. The
Load
stays disconnected.
The engine must be started by the operator by pressing
START
.
With the
Genset
parameters and
Mains
live and with controller configured to manage the
synchronisation on the
GCB
contactor pressing the “
GCB
”, the synchronisation is activated. Once
the synchronisation is done, the
MCB
contactor is opened and the
Load
stays supplied by the
Genset
.
With
Mains
off and with the
Genset
parameters, by pressing the “
GCB
” button the
GCB
contactor
is automatically closed.
With genset running,
Load
supplied by the
Genset
and
Mains
live, by pressing the “
MCB
” button,
the synchronisation with the
Mains
is activated. Once the synchronisation is done, the
