Synchronizing Tuning Procedure
Due to the variance in the characteristics of the
engine and the characteristics of the governor, the
GSC+P is used to tune the response of the Speed
Adjust 1 output. The response is tuned for o ptimum
speed and smoothness.
.
Note: Before the operator begins the synchronization
tuning procedure, the governor for the engine and
the fuel system should be adjusted. The adjustment
provides optimum performance. Changes to the
governor settings will require retuning of the
Speed Adjust 1 output. Refer to the appropriate
governor service manual. DO NOT proceed with
synchronization tuning or attempt to parallel the
generator before completing these adjustme nt s.
Note: For optimum performance, synchronization
tuning should be performed under the same
temperature conditions as the synchronization will
be performed.
The GSC+P uses proportional integral derivative
(PID) control to accomplish synchronization quickly
and smoothly. The P, I and D parameters are
independently controlled by setpoints P307, P308
and P309. Adjusting any one of these setpoints will
not affect the other two settings.
The GSC+P checks the following conditions during
synchronization:
•
The phase sequence of the incoming generator
must be the same phase sequence of the bus.
•
Voltages of the incoming generator must match the
voltages of the bus within the acceptable range.
This requirement can be enabled or disabled with
setpoint P303. Setpoint P304 determines the
acceptable range.
•
The frequency of the incoming voltages must
match the frequency of the voltages of the bus. The
voltages must be within acceptable tolerances.
•
The phase angles between the incoming generator
voltage and the bus voltage must be within
the acceptable range. The acceptable range is
determined by setpoint P305. The dwell time for
the acceptable phase angle is determined by
setpoint P306.
During synchronization, the GSC+P continuously
monitors the frequency and the phase angle of the
incoming voltage of the generator and the bus. The
GSC+P uses this information to adjust the voltage of
the Speed Adjust 1 output. The GSC+P raises the
engine speed or the GSC+P lowers the engine speed
until the frequencies and the phase angles match
within the programmed acceptable ranges.
After all synchronization conditions are within
the acceptable ranges, the GSC+P will activate
the Close Breaker control output for either a
programmed duration or continuously, depending on
the synchronization function selected.
Tuning Procedure
1. Turn the PCS to the “OFF” position. DISCONNECT
THE CIRCUIT BREAKER FROM THE GSC+P
AND CLOSE BREAKER CONTROL OUTPUT
FOR THE UNIT TO BE TUNED. This can be
done by temporarily removing wire W703 from
the CIRCUIT BREA KER CLOSE RELAY (CBCR)
terminal 4..
2. Enter Service Mode and program the following
setpoints under OP5-3:
P301 is set to 1 to enable synchronization.
P307 is set to 2.5%.
P308 is set to 0%.
P309 is set to 0%.
Ensure that the other setpoints are programmed
to the default setting that is programmed in the
factory.
Exit Service Mode.
3. Place the PCS of the unit to be tuned in the OFF
position. Start both units via remote s tart contact,
and allow the unit that will not be tuned to to close
to the bus. Ad just the engine speed so that t he
frequency of the generator is 0.5 Hz higher than
the frequency of the bus.
4. Ensure the PCS is in the OFF position. Place the
Engine Cont ro l S witch (ECS) in the C OOLDOWN
position. Enter Service Mode and select OP11.
Refer to Service Mode, “Synchronization Setpoint
Tuning - OP11”.
