Release Note

Combined Generator Control Module

(Catalog Number 1407-CGCM)

Description The Combined Generator Control Module (CGCM) is a programmable

automatic generator controller which maintains the generator output
voltage within specific limits by controlling the current applied to the
exciter field of the generator. The controller consists of a single design
to regulate brushless permanent magnet excited generators and
brushless self excited generators.

The CGCM performs voltage regulation via control of exciter field

current provided to the generator stator.

Mounting Most applications require installation in an industrial enclosure that

provides a Pollution Degree 2 environment. Because the units
contain a heatsink, they must be mounted vertically. Any other
mounting angle will reduce the heat dissipation capabilities of the
units, possibly leading to premature failure of critical components.
Overall dimensions for the CGCM are shown in Figure 1. The unit
may be mounted anywhere that the ambient temperature does not
exceed the rated environmental conditions or clearance requirements.
The clearance requirements for the CGCM are as follows:

• Two and one-half inches of clearance is required on both sides

of the unit when mounted.
• Four inches of clearance is required above and below the unit
when mounted.

WARNING EXPLOSION HAZARD:

• Substitution of components may impair suitability for Class I, Division 2.

! • Do not replace components or disconnect equipment unless power has been

switched off or the area is known to be non-hazardous.
• Do not connect or disconnect components unless power has been switched off or the
area is known to be non-hazardous.
• All cables connected to the product must remain in the enclosure or be protected by
conduit or other means.
• All wiring must comply with N.E.C. article 501-4(b)

Electical Connections CGCM connections are dependent on the application and excitation
scheme. All inputs or outputs may not be used in a given installation.
Incorrect wiring may result in damage to the unit. Check the part
number to insure that you have the correct unit before connecting and
applying power.

The CGCM terminals should be connected with copper wire rated for
a minimum of 600 volts. General appliance wire is acceptable. The
wire need not be rated for temperatures beyond 70°C (158°F).

TIP Be sure the CGCM is hard-wired to earth ground

with no smaller than 12 AWG copper wire attached
to either stud located on the lower part of either side
of the unit. When the unit is configured in a system
with other devices, use a separate lead to the ground
bus from each unit.

Except as noted above, connections should be made with maximum

wire size of 12 AWG and 10 AWG for CT inputs. All wire should be
copper.

CGCM terminals are located on the front, bottom, and right panel of
the unit. The nine-pin connector on the bottom of the unit is used for
communications between CGCMs in a redundant system. Suggested
torque for terminal screws is 9 inch-pounds (1.0 Nm).

Terminals to be used as landing points for shielded wires are provided

on several terminal strips.
