LS 4
Circuit Breaker Control
& Protection
Flexible solution for
complex breaker
configurations

APPLICATIONS

DESCRIPTION

Synch-check relay

The LS 4 offers a simple solution for complex

switchgear applications. The LS 4 has the
ability to operate with up to 14 GCP-31 genset
controls and 8 LS 4 circuit breaker controllers.

Features

Dead bus start

functions

Each controlled breaker is equipped with one

LS 4 that measures the three-phase voltage on
either side of the breaker (phase angle
configurable). Each side of the breaker is
designated as either a fixed (utility) or variable
(genset) source and is labeled A or B. This
permits the LS 4 to control utility feeder
breakers with one fixed source and one
variable source, or tie breakers between
busses with two variable sources. The LS 4 is
used for breaker protection, synchronization,
and load control.

OPERATION
All LS 4's communicate via a CAN bus network
to each other and to the GCP genset controls.
Discrete input commands are used to operate
the LS 4 in the desired mode. Set-point values
for frequency and voltage are transmitted to all
genset controllers on that switchgear segment.
The genset controls then adjust the frequency
and voltage of their respective genset to
achieve synchronization. The LS 4 will perform
the opening and closing of the circuit breaker
based on the discrete inputs it receives.
