may be freely selected or fixed to MANUAL operating mode
(depends on the setting of the parameter "Interchange Mode in Manual", refer to Automatic Mode Configuration
on page 22).
Synchronizing to the Mains and Loading the Generator Set
Taking over a consumer load to the mobile system, which previously has been supplied by the mains.
1. Set up the mobile system near the place of power supply/network feeder.
2. Connect the mobile system to the consumer busbar.
3. Ensure that the phases L1, L2, and L3 are connected correctly and the phase rotation is correct.
4. Connect the SYNCONpanel to the container (mobile system)
5. Connect the voltage measuring cables and the clamp-on transducer. Check, whether the polarity of the
clamp-on transducer is correct (import power must be indicated negative). When using the clamp-on trans-
ducer in the wrong way, a "reverse power" is indicated on the SYNCONpanel display.
6. Select the "Transfer operation" mode using the switch on the control panel of the container (mobile system).
The GCP is automatically switching to MANUAL mode (depends on the setting of the parameter "Inter-
change Mode in Manual", refer to Automatic Mode Configuration on page 22). The MCB LED starts to
flash.
7. Start the generator set by pressing the START button on the GCP.
8. After starting the engine successfully, the generator can be synchronized with the busbar by pressing the
"GCB ON" button on the GCP. With the feedback of a closed GCB, the "Ready" LED at the SYNCONpanel
should light up, otherwise the SYNCONpanel is not in operation.
9. While the mobile system is operating in parallel with the mains, the load can be ramped from the mains to
the generator in several ways:
- The set point buttons on the GCP
- The discrete inputs at terminal 65 and 66 on the GCP
- The frequency and voltage control switches of the SYNCONpanel
- Automatically using the "Unload Mains" push button of the SYNCONpanel
NOTE
The "Unload Mains" push button can only be used if the SYNCONpanel is measuring the current.
Measurements of Amps, kW, power factor, volts and frequency are indicated on the SYNCONpanel display.
