TM 5-6115-593-12TO 35C2-3-463-1Section III. REMOTE CONTROL CABLE ASSEMBLY5-10. GENERAL. The remote control cable assemblyis used to connect the remote control module to thegenerator set. The cable assembly may be of anylengthup to a maximum of 1000 feet (300 m). Refer to par. 2-10 for additional information.Section IV. AUTOMATIC CONTROL MODULE5-12. GENERAL. The automatic control module cansense and initiate unattended sequence when aninterruption or deviation in the normal 120V AC supplyexceeds allowable values; start the generator sets;disable and energize circuit breakers, and exercise theautomatic control system. The automatic controlmodule is equipped with voltage and frequency sensingdevices which are normally set for a voltage deviation of±10 percent and a frequency deviation of ±3 percent,but can be reset as local conditions warrant.5-13. FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION. (Ref. FO-12)The ACM is designed to automatically control up to fourMEP-029A, 500 KW generator sets. The utility monitorcircuit which includes a 120 VAC over/under voltagerelay (27/59N), under frequency relay (81N-U), overfrequency relay (81N-0), 1.5-15 second (adjustable) timedelay relay (TD), 50/60Hz frequency select switch and arun relay (RR), continually monitors the 120 VAC utilityvoltage from the line side of the utility breaker.When the utility power is normal, relays 27/59N, 81N-Uand TD are energized (81N-0 will only energize duringan over-frequency condition) and the normal poweravailable lamp will be on.If the utility power completely fails or voltage varies bymore than ±10% and/or frequency varies more than±3%, TD relay after a 1.5-15 second time delay willallow all generators to begin a start-up cycle providingthe generators are in the automatic mode. Relays27/59N, 81N-U, TD and RR deenergize allowing 24 voltsD.C. to energize the K5 engine start circuit via normallyclosed contacts TD and RR through TB4-5, 6, 7, 8through J3-B through the automatic position of the auto-trip-manual switch (S53) on each set. The utility breaker(located within user switchgear) will open via additionalsets of RR contacts at TB3-17, 18 and 19.As the generators run up to speed, each generator'squality circuit (81G-0, 81G-U, 27/59G and CR) monitorsthe condition of their respective set. This circuit hasidentical voltage and frequency specifications as theutility monitor circuit in the ACM and is only completelyfunctional if the generator set is in the automatic mode.As each generator satisfies its own quality circuit,control relay (CR) will energize and provide 120 VACthrough J3-N to TB2-5, 6, 7, or 8 to its applicable MRrelay (MR1, 2, 3, or 4) in the ACM. However, the firstMR to be energized will lock out all other MR relays andalso provide a closure to its generator circuit breakercontrol circuit via its applicable normally open contact(TB 3-1 through TB 3-8) through J3-D and J3-E. Thefirst set to close its circuit breaker via MR will alsoenergize its own breaker control relay (BCR) which nowdisconnects its synchronizer to electric governor (2301)connection which is no longer needed since thisgenerator is already on line. Once all other units havesatisfied their quality circuit and energized CR, theirrespective synchronizers will be energized via CRcontacts at terminal one of the synchronizer. The factthat all other MR relays have locked out andsynchronizers are now energized, enables the remainingunits circuit breakers to be closed only when propersynchronization has taken place.It should be noted that K106 sync check relay (N.O.contacts 5 and 6) is always in the circuit breaker closurecircuit in series with MR closure contacts and/ or thesynchronizer closure contacts. This will preclude anyset circuit breaker closure, in automatic or manualunsynchronized.As each set circuit breaker (CB2) closes, its' auxiliarycontacts (CB2-5 will close allowing 120 V.A.C. via J3-Pto TB2-9, 10, 11 or 12 to energize each sets respectiveBR1-BR4 relay. These BR relays along with the 24VDC5-13
