AL11 Generator Reverse Power Fault (protective
relaying function) – When reverse power rises
above the P126 setpoint, the GSC+P issues a
reversepowerfault.TheGSC+Pcanbeprogrammed
(P125) to enable this fault or to disable this fault as a
shutdown. In addition, the fault can be programmed
(P127) with a time delay from 0 to 30 seconds. The
fault threshold (P126) can be adjusted from 0 to 20
percent of the n am eplate power (P030).
When the fault is programmed as a shutdown fault,
the fault shutdown indicator will FLASH and the AL11
fault code is immediately shown on the upper display.
AL12 Generator Phase Over Current Fault
(protective relaying function) – When any current
rises above the P129 or the P134 setpoints, the
GSC+P issues a phase over current fault. The
GSC+P can be programmed (P128, P133) to enable
or disable this fault as an alarm, a shutdown or both.
The fault can also be programmed (P130 and P135)
with a time delay from 0 to 250 seconds. The fault
threshold (P129and P134) can be adjusted from
100 percent to 160 percent of the nameplate current
(P029).
When the fault is enabled as both an alarm fault and
a shutdown fault, the fault thresholds and time delays
can be programmed independently to allow the alarm
fault to serve as an early warning for the shutdown
fault.
When the fault is programmed as a shutdown fault,
the fault shutdown indicator will FLASH and the AL12
fault code is immediately shown on the upper display.
When the fault is programmed as an alarm fault, the
fault alarm indicator will FLAS H and the AL12 fault
code is shown on the upper display after the “Alarm
Codes” key is pressed.
AL13 Generator Total Over Current Fault
(protective relaying function) – When genera to r
total current (sum of three phases) rises above the
P131 or P136 setpoints, the GSC+P issues a total
over current fault. The GSC+P can be programmed
(P128 and P133) to enable or to disable this fault as
an alarm fault, a shutdown fault or both. In addition,
the fault can be programmed (P132 and P137) with a
time delay from 0 to 250 seconds. The fault threshold
(P131 and P136) can be adjusted from 100 percent
to 160 percent of three times the nameplate current
rating (P029).
When the fault is enabled both as an alarm and a
shutdown fault, the fault thresholds and time delays
can be programmed independently to allow the alarm
fault to serve as an early warning for the shutdown
fault.
When the fault is programmed as a shutdown fault,
the fault shutdown indicator will FLASH and the AL13
fault code is immediately shown on the upper display.
When the f ault is programmed as an a larm fault, th e
fault alarm indicator will FLASH and the AL13 fault
code is shown on the upper dis play after the “Alarm
Codes” key is p ressed.
AL14 Phase A No Voltage Input Fault (protective
relaying function) – When the phase A voltage
is not being received at the GSC+P input (GSC+P
connector contact 10), the GSC+P issues a phase A
no voltage input fault. The phase A voltage input is
needed to accurately measure the generator output.
The accuracy of some power metering functions
and AC frequency measurement may be reduced.
The GSC+P automatically treats a lost voltage input
on phase A as an alarm fault. This response is not
programmable .
When this fault occurs, the fault alarm indicator will
FLASH and the AL14 fault code is shown on the
upper display after the “Alarm Codes” key is pressed.
AL15 GSC+P Configuration Error – The GSC+P
checks the relationship between the frequency of the
generator output voltage and the engine speed. This
relationship is shown in the formula below.
frequency (hertz) = (number of generator poles X
rpm) / 120
The GSC+P automatically treats a configuration error
as an alarm fault. This response is not programmable.
This fault is corrected by programming the proper
values into setpoints P009 (number of ring gear
teeth) an d P033 (number of generator poles).
When this fault occurs, the fault alarm indicator will
FLASH and the AL15 fault code is shown on the
upper display after the “Alarm Codes” key is pressed.
Note: If setpoint P033 (number of generator poles) is
set to 0, the AL15 fault is disabled.
Paralleling Alarms
Paralleling Alarms a re always treated as fault alarms
and will not shut down the engine.
Synchronization may be halted, depending upon
the fau lt. With one exce ption , paralleling alarms a re
issued only when the GSC+P is in Synchronization
mode. The only paralleling alarm that will be active in
Normal mode is AL16 Incorrect Phase Sequence. If
this alarm is active in No r mal mode, th e a larm will be
displayed when the “AL CODES” key is pressed, in
the same manner as other fault alarms.
Paralleling alarms are detected and annunciated
only if synchronization is enabled by programming
the Synchronization Enabled setpoint, P301, with a
non-zero value.
