Use the following procedure in order to run the generator set in parallel operation. Adjustments for Stand-alone Generators 4. Turn the remote adjustment potentiometer to the center position, if equipped. 2. Connect an analog voltmeter that is calibrated for 50 VDC on terminal E+ and terminal E-. 3. Connect a voltmeter that is calibrated for 300 VAG. to 500 VAC or 1000 VAC to the output terminals of the generator. 4, Make sure that the ST3 wire is positioned on the desired frequency. Also, the engine speed must be changed from the factory setting in order to change the frequency of the generator. 5. Turn potentiometer (P2) to a full counterclockwis position, 6. Turn stability potentiometer (P3) counterclod to about 1/3 of the total rotation for the potentiometer. 7. Start the engine and set the engine speed toa frequency of 48 Hz for 50 Hz or 58 Hz for 60 Hz‘SEBU7909-05 53 Operation Section Features and Controls 8. Adjust the output voltage to the correct value with potentiometer P2. This voltage should be the rated voltage UN for single operation or UN plus 2% to 4% for parallel operation with a current transformer. Use potentiometer P3 to make adjustments if the voltage oscillates. Adjust potentiometer P3 in both directions while you observe the voltage between E+ and E- The voltage between E+ and E- should be approximately 10 VDC. The best response times are obtained at the limit of the instability. Try cutting or replacing the wire ST2 if no stable position can be obtained. 9. Check the operation of the Load Adjustment Module (LAM). STS must be closed. The LAM can be adjusted to 15% or 25% voltage dip by moving the ST10 jumper wire. Adjustments for Generators in Parallel Operation Note: Make sure that the speed droop is identical for all of the engines before adjustments are made to the generator. 1. Preset the unit for parallel operation by connecting the current transformer to S1 and S2 of the connector J2. Set potentiometer P1 for quadrature droop in the center position. Apply the rated load. The voltage should drop for 2% to 3%. Switch the positions of the two incoming secondary wires of the current transformer if the voltage increases. 2. The no-load voltages should be identical for all the generators that are operating in parallel. Connect the generators in parallel. Try to obtain a 0 kW power exchange by adjusting the speed of the generator. Try to minimize the circulating currents between generators by altering the voltage setting with potentiometer P2 or Rhe on one of the generators. Note: Do not change the voltage settings after this step. 3. Apply the available load. The setting is correct only if a reactive load is available. Equalize the Kilowatts or divide the rated power of the units proportionally by altering the speed. Alter the quadrature droop potentiometer (P1) in order to equalize the currents or divide the currents. R448 Adjustment for Maximum Excitation Ilustration 45 (901212287 The maximum factory setting corresponds to an excitation current that is required to obtain a three-phase short circuit current of 3 X IN at 50 Hz for industrial power, unless this is specified otherwise. The maximum level of excitation may be reduced by a static method. The static method is safer for the generator and the installation. Use the following steps to reduce the maximum excitation level. 4. Disconnect the power supply wires X1, X2, Z1 and Z2. 2. Disconnect sensing leads OV, 110V, 220V and 380V on the generator. 3. Connect the main power supply 200V-240V to X1 and X2, as shown 4. Install a 20 Amp DC ammeter in series with the exciter field. 5. Turn potentiometer P5 to a full counterclockwise position and activate the power supply. If there is no output current from the voltage regulator, turn potentiometer P2 clockwise until the ammeter indicates a stable current 6. Switch off the power supply. Switch on the power supply. Turn potentiometer P5 until the required maximum current is obtained. The maximum. current must not be greater than 15 Amperes. Use the following steps in order to check the internal protection: 4. Open switch D. The excitation current should increase up to the preset maximum value and the excitation current should remain at the preset maximum value for approximately 10 seconds The current will decrease to less than 1 Amp.54 Operation Section Features and Controls ‘SEBU7909-05 2.
