As each generator satisfies its own quality circuit,
control relay (CR) will energize and provide 120 VAC
through J3-N to TB2-5, 6, 7, or 8 to its applicable MR
relay (MR1, 2, 3, or 4) in the ACM. However, the first
MR to be energized will lock out all other MR relays and
also provide a closure to its generator circuit breaker
control circuit via its applicable normally open contact
(TB3-1 through TB3-8) through J3-D and J3-E. The first
set to close its circuit breaker via MR will also energize
its
own
breaker
control
relay
(BCR)which
now
disconnects its synchronizer to electric governor (2301)
connection which is no longer needed since this
generator is already on line. Once all other units have
satisfied their quality circuit and energized CR, their
respective synchronizers will be energized via CR
contacts at terminal one of the synchronizer. The fact
that all other MR relays have locked out and
synchronizers are now energized, enables the remaining
units circuit breakers to be closed only when proper
synchronization has taken place. It should be noted that
K106 sync check relay (N. O. contacts 5 and 6) is
always in the circuit breaker closure circuit in series with
MR closure contacts and/or the synchronizer closure
contacts. This will preclude any set circuit breaker
closure, in automatic or manual unsynchronized.
As each set circuit breaker (CB2) closes, its auxiliary
contacts (CB2-5) will close allowing 120 V.A.C. via J3-P
to TB2-9, 10, 11 or 12 to energize each sets respective
BR1-BR4 relay. These BR relays along with the 24
VDC available to LR1 (LRTD1) - LR 4 (LRTD4) make up
the prioritized feeder breaker control circuits. The first
set to close to the bus will energize a BR relay which will
always close LR1 (Load Relay) and its .2 - 20 second
(adjustable) time delay (LRTD1) secondly. Each LR and
LRTD should control loads not to exceed 250KW each.
LRTD's allow a time delay between load applications as
to allow engine turbochargers to build up speed. LR1
relay will always be the first relay to energize on start-up
and the last relay to de-energize when the sets are shut
down. Therefore, it is classified as the #1 priority feeder
breaker control. When LR1 relay energizes, it also
prevents RR relay from being re-energized if utility
power returns via LR1 normally closed contacts in series
with RR relay coil. This allows all sets, which are in the
automatic mode, to complete their start-up and parallel
cycles regardless of utility power returning. As each
remaining
set
is
automatically
synchronized
and
paralleled to the bus, the remaining LR and LRTD relays
will energize in numerical order.
The ACM has a 3 position rotary switch labeled
Instant, "Time Delay" (TD) and "No Return". This
switch allows the user three options as to what will
happen when the utility power returns after a failure. If
the switch is in the "Instant" return position, immediately,
when the utility power returns, the utility 120 VAC will be
supplied through energized T. D. relay normally open
contacts through S1 to TB2-1, 2, 3, and 4 to J3-C on all
units, energizing the breaker trip relay (BTR) which will
shunt trip each unit's circuit breaker (CB2). At this time,
all BR, LR and LRTD relays de-energize causing the
LR1 normally closed contact, in series with RR coil, to
re-close allowing RR relay to re-energize, thereby
allowing the utility breaker to close back to the load. In
the "TD" position, a 3-30 minute (adjustable) time delay
via UTR (Utility Trip Relay) allows a pre-determined
time delay after the utility power returns before the unit
circuit breakers (CB2) are tripped. This insures utility
power has returned to stay, avoiding unnecessary
transfer and re-transfers of the utility breaker control. In
the "no return" position, the generators will carry the
load until switched off by the operator.
At the same instant when all units CB2's are tripped
open via BTR, SDT (Shut Down timer) begins a 1-300
second (adjustable) time out before de-energizing. This
SDT relay allows the engines to continue to run and cool
down after the load has been removed.
At the end of this time delay period, SDT N. O. contacts
re-open, removing the 24 VDC to TB4-5, 6, 7, 8 and
J3-B which in turn allows K5 relays to de-energize and
stop all units.
