Linea Modulex3
Numerical module for automatic synchronising of generator
Functions
• The device performs frequency
and voltage regulation of a
generator, thereafter it executes
automatic paralleling with a live
bus-bar (already supplied bus-bar).
Alternatively it permits the
regulation at optimal frequency
and voltage values, then executes
automatic paralleling with a dead
bus-bar (non supplied bus-bar).
For synchronisation,
MX3EG1A sends controls that
operate on the turbine speed and
on the generator field.
When the parallel conditions are
positively checked, MX3EG1A
controls the circuit breaker.
• Two inputs, supplied from
generator and bus-bar voltages,
permit measurement of respective
voltages, frequencies and
phase-displacement.
• It is possible to configure the logic
inputs to receive: synchronisation
and parallel requests (with Live-bus
Start_LB or Dead-bus Start_DB),
Stop control, circuit breaker
closed (CB52), anomalies, etc.
• The device includes two setting
groups, switch in operation of
groups: from HMI, Digital input
or Communication.
