Dead Bus Relay – TheDeadBusRelay(DBR)that
indicates the state of the bus The normally closed
contacts are closed when the bus is dead, and the
level of the GSC+P dead bus sensor input is battery
negative. A live bus is indicated by an inactive level
floating at approximately 12.0 DCV. Refer to the DC
Schematic Of GSC+P Synchronization.
–
Synchroscope
The lower display of the GSC+P becomes the
synchroscope when the GSC+P is performing one
of the synchroniz ing functions. A s qu are symbol
revolves around the perimeter of the display in
order to indicate the phase angle and frequency
relationship between the bus and the incoming
generator.

Rotating Clockwise Frequency of the incoming
generator is greater than
the bus.
Rotating countercl ockwise
Frequency o
ftheincoming
generator is less tha n the
bus.
Stopped in any position
other than top center
Frequency of the incoming
generator and bus are the
same. The phases are
different.
Stopped at top center Frequency of the incoming
generator and bus are the
same. In p
hase (phase
angle is 0°).
The upper display toggles between the incoming
generato
r phase C-A voltage and frequency. The
right side of the upper display shows “BUS” or “GEN”.
Pressing the AC meter keypad will stop the toggling
and the u
pper display will show only the generator
voltage and frequency or the voltage of the bus
and the frequency of the bus. W hen the toggling is
locked,
“GEN”or“BUS”willbeflashing.

The Lower Display (synchroscope) is showing the Bus And
frequency of the generator. The Pha se Angle Relationship is also
shown on the Lower Display.
The Generator And the Bus are not synchronized.

Permissive Mode.
Spare Fault Indicato rs
The“SpareFau
lt” indicators have alternate functions
on the GSC+P during synchronization functions.
“Spare 1” becomes the voltage indicator. This
indicator wi
ll illuminate when the difference between
the bus voltage and the oncoming generator voltage
are within acceptable limits. “Spare 2” becomes the
frequency in
dicator. This indicator will illuminate
when the frequency difference between the bus
and the oncoming generator are within acceptable
limits. “Sp
are 3” becomes th e phase mat ch indicator.
This indicator illumina tes when the phase difference
between the bus and the oncoming generator
arewithina
cceptable limits. When the GSC+P
is not performing paralleling functions, the Spare
Fault indicators retain their normal functions as
explained
in Systems Operation, “Spare Input/Output
Programming OP6”.
