Synchronising Panel

Operating MethodThe Synchronizing panel will operate on an automatic mains failure system, so that when the main supply is interrupted on one or all phases (after an adjustable delay period) the generator sets will start-up together. After an initial warm-up period (adjustable) the generators will synchronize with each other by means of motorized circuit breakers or contactors onto a common buss bar. Next, the motorized change-over switch will be closed and the load connected to the main distribution box.The load share units continuously monitor the load and during low demand periods one or two generators will be shut down to save on fuel consumption. As demand rises again the second and third generators will be restarted, synchronized and reconnected to load. When the AMF control unit detects that the main supply has been restored an adjustable observation period is activated before the main supply is reconnected. A cool down period will then follow, after which the generator sets will be shut down.
The AMF Panel includes a Deep Sea 8810 Controller (Synchronizing Unit).General Characteristics3-phase mains-generator voltage control3-phase current control12 digital inputs3 Analog inputs for pressure, temperature and fuel level monitoringRetentive energy metersRS-232 port for setup, remote control and GSM modem (optional)Context sensitive on-line help promptsChoice of text languageIcon detail and alarm viewingEvent log for alarms, status and eventsOperating data recordingViewable MeasurementsBattery voltagePhase, line and system mains voltage valuesPhase, line and system generator voltage valuesPhase currentActive, reactive and apparent power valuesActive-reactive energy metersPower factor per phaseMains and generator frequencyEngine speed (rpm)Oil pressureWater temperatureFuel levelEngine running hour counterHours remaining before next maintenanceTotal number of starting attemptsPercentage of successful starting attempts
