6. Any engine shutdown commands, routine or otherwise, shall open the unit circuit breaker
and initiate underfrequency protection of the excitation system until full stop.
7. Any engine start command shall initiate underfrequency protection of the excitation system
until the minimum allowed frequency is reached and only upon verification of minimum
voltage as recommended by Supplier shall the unit circuit breaker close.
CHART COLUMN HEADING DEFINITIONS:

• Class SD, (Class of Shutdown)
A = Immediate shutdown, must be cleared before start, no bypass on start.
B = Immediate shutdown, bypass on start, must be cleared after crank disconnect plus
10 seconds.
C = Immediate shutdown, bypass on start, armed only after a pre-programmed

condition is met. In this case a Class C fault may be armed after a timed function
for no-load and load testing and further may be armed after the transfer switch
position changes during an outage.

• Alarm: Alarm only, no shutdown unless a “Class of

Shutdown” is also indicated. Then this
becomes a pre-alarm without shutdown.
• LGCP: Local Genset Control Panel (LGCP); A
panel, mounted adjacent to the genset skid,
with a collection of the indicated mechanical
gauges, electrical meters, devices, controls,
lamps or indicators.
• Indication or Control: Indicated at the control center terminal,
added to historical trending data base,
and/or controlled by the control center
system or operator from the control center
terminal.
