PPS-Generators
3) Generator Frequency Proctective Relay (Device 81)
An underfrequency solid state relay utilizing full cycle zero
crossing sensing shall be included to respond to the fundamental
frequency of the system so as to ignore wave shape distortion
resulting from solid state loads. The relay shall have an
adjustable pick up range of 40 to 60 Hz and adjustable under
frequency dropout range of 0.1 to 10 Hz below the pickup.
4) Frequency/Voltage Time Delay
An adjustable time on drop out of both Device 27 and 81 shall be
provided to override loading transients. Range of adjustability
shall be 0.1 to 6.0 seconds, factory set at 2.0 seconds, repetitive
accuracy shall be within plus or minus 2 %.
5) Automatic Synchronizer (Device 25)
An automatic solid state active synchronizer shall be furnished to
synchronize its respective incoming engine generator set with the
paralleling bus. The synchronizer shall include a differential
voltage detector, differential frequency detector, differential
phase detector, raise/lower voltage output relays for generator
voltage control, raise/lower frequency and phase angle control
through a proportional DC output voltage, phase lock control and
a circuit breaker closing signal. Synchronizers without phase
lock control are unaccepuble. Synchronizer shall be ASCO or
woodward SPM-A.
The differential voltage detector shall compare the voltage of the
oncoming generator to the paralleling bus. If the voltage is not
within the factory set difference of plus or minus 5 % (adjustable
from 0 to plus or minus 10%), the voltage detector shall lockout
the circuit breaker closing relay and simultaneously initiate
adjustment of the voltage through the raise/lower voltage output
relays. When the oncoming generator voltage is within the preset
acceptable limit, the lockout shall be removed. Repetitive
accuracy of the voltage detector shall be plus or minus 1.0 over
the specified temperature range.
The differential frequency detector shall compare the frequency
of the oncoming engine generator set to the paralleling bus. If
the frequency is not within the preset acceptable difference of
plus or minus 0.5 Hz (adjustable from 0 to plus or minus 0.5
