SERVICE MANUAL
1. SETTING THE PARAMETERS
1.1 DESCRIPTION OF SETTING RECORD
Each value to be input during programming is assigned a number, which is always indicated
during both the programming mode and in case of an alarm output.
The input of parameters is made in absolute values or as percentages. The respective

dimension is indicated behind the input values.
1.1.1 PERCENTAGE INPUT
The values refer to the rated values of the generator set in percentages. See Parameters [13-
18]. For example, the rated value of the current is entered under Parameter [13]. If 586 A is
entered, all further inputs of current will refer to this and will be expressed as percentages:
586 A = 100%.
Parameter
[ 13 ] = nominal-rated current
[ 14 ] = nominal-rated voltage
[ 15 ] = nominal-rated power
[ 16 ] = nominal-rated frequency
If in the example above, the limit value of the overcurrent is set at 110%, then this will
correspond to a tripping current of 664.6 A.
Only frequency limits are not entered as percentages, but rather as absolute values.
1.1.2 THREE-STEP CONTROLLER

Three-step controllers are used for the following forms of control: load sharing, frequency
control, power factor control, voltage control and synchronization.
All three-step controllers are set using the procedure described below:
1) Adjustment of break time. If break time has run down, a new output order will be given.
A short break time will speed up the controller, so overshoot of control can result.
2) Adjustment of pulse time. Pulse time of the controller depends on the difference between
reference value and actual value.
Definition:
The set pulse time in seconds is the setting time that would be used at 100% of the
difference between the reference value and the actual value. Smaller differences will
proportionally shorten the setting time.
SYNPOL D
®
5
SERVICE MANUAL
For example, a 10% difference shortens the setting time to 10% of the set time.
During synchronization, nominal-rated frequency = 100%.
3) Sensitivity of controllers. With this, the dead band of the three-step controller is
set. For example, if 10% is set, then the controller will start working only if the
actual value differs from the reference value by more than 10%. This means if 10%
is set and two generators are running on the mains, then the generators will differ
from each other by 20% before control intervenes. A characteristic of the load
controller is that it will automatically switch back sensitivity to 1/3 of the setting
value if the actual value becomes smaller than 10% or higher than 90%. Thus
reverse power and overload due to insensitivity of the controller can be avoided.
1.1.3 ALPHANUMERIC KEYBOARD

To the right of the keyboard and below the LEDs for “Alarm” and “Tripped”, there is an
alphanumeric keyboard. On this keyboard, there are keys that contain up to four different
symbols. These symbols can be used by alphanumeric inputs in the programming mode.
The numeric value for a number input (entry) will be called up immediately after pressing a
key. The alpha letters can be called up by using the “Shift 1” and “Shift 2” keys according to
the following representation. In case of a key combination, the “Shift” key must be pushed
first and then held down while the key from the alphanumeric keyboard is pressed.

1.2 EXAMPLE FOR LIMIT SETTING
The selective disconnection in case of overcurrent can be seen in the example below:
Pic. 1.2 Setting of Limits
In each curve section, the corresponding parameter number is entered. The curve can be
shifted by making changes inside the parameter. The characteristic of the curve should be
selected to guarantee that the release characteristic of the biggest consumer’s switch is located
to the left of the generator disconnection characteristic of the curve.
In the example, the Parameters [100-116] are as follows:

SERVICE MANUAL
1.3 ALARM PRIORITIES

Each alarm can receive a priority of 1 to 4. The priorities have the following meanings:
1 = Immediate stop of diesel engine and switching off of circuit breaker. Start of
another diesel engine.
2 = Delayed stop of diesel engine. Another diesel engine is started and switched
on to the busbar. Afterward, the disturbed diesel engine will stop. In this case,
the start procedure of the other diesel engine must not last longer than that set
in Parameter [511]. Stop delay is only active as long as the time set in
Parameter [511]. The diesel engine will stop after the time set in Parameter
[511] runs down.
3 = Alarm without stop of diesel engine. Another diesel engine is started.
4 = Alarm without stop of diesel engine.
1.4 EVENTS
On the Terminal Boards CMA 132,135,137 several function inputs can be used. These inputs
can be connected with the events. The numbers of the generator limits, Parameters [100-158],
are identical to the event numbers. If one of these parameter numbers is activated, then the
corresponding event is also activated.
Example:
Through the Function Output 4 (A7, CMA132, Terminal 51-53) an unimportant consumer
should trip in the second stage. The limit value should have 60% of the nominal-rated
generator current.
First, the limit of the Parameter[114] must be selected. In the column “114.N.C.CURRENT
2.ST L:[xxx]”, the limit value has to be set at 60.
To communicate Event [114] to Function Output 4, the Parameter [160] must be connected
with the event. In the column “160. FUN. 4 A7 : [ xxx ]”, the number has to be set at 114.
The function outputs can be interlocked with six events by a logic “OR”. In contrast to the
generator limits, not all event numbers will correspond to the parameter numbers. All events
can be found for programming the function outputs in Chapter 1.5.12.

load sharing will be switched on. If the setting is 0%, then the function will be
blocked and asymmetrical load sharing will continue to operate. - ( 10 % ) -
[ 60 ] Input range for operation during asymmetrical load sharing. In case the [ 60 ]
entered maximum is over the set limit in one diesel engine, then symmetrical
load sharing will be switched on. If the setting is 0%, then the function will be
blocked and asymmetrical load sharing will continue to operate. - ( 85 % ) -
[ 61 ] If the Parameters [59] and [60] have triggered, switching back to symmetrical [ 61 ]
load sharing. The asymmetrical load sharing will again be switched on after the
set time. If another limit is triggered by Parameters [59] and [60], symmetrical
load sharing will be switched on again, time running down once again, and so
on. - ( 1800 s ) -
[ 63 ] Shaft Generator Operation. During shaft generator operation, the nominal- [ 63 ]
rated power value can be reduced depending upon how fast the main engine is
running. The supplementary card CMA137 offers an analogous input for
measuring the speed of the shaft generator. The input signal can be 0--10V
(standard) or 0--20mA (special configuration).
{1}: Use CMA137 with 0--10V input. A signal 5--10V is entered at Terminals
19(-) & 20(+). According to the input signal “F,” the nominal-rated power
“PN” can be influenced. The result is temporarily stored as Po and influences
not the RMS-value of the shaft generator but the relative power (as a
percentage), which will be used for power management functions.
Po = Pn * F / 10V ;F = 5-10V
{2}: Use CMA137 with 20mA input in combination with CMA126 AE7. A
signal up to 20mA is entered at Terminals 19(-) & 20(+). According to the
input signal “F,” the nominal-rated power “PN” can be influenced in the
following way:
Input signal Reduction of nominal-rated power
0.00 -13.67 mA 70% of Pn
13.67 -16.84 mA linear from 70-100% of Pn.
16.84 - 20.00mA No influence to the nominal-rated power.

following way: if one of the other running generators went below the load
limit of Parameter [590], the asymmetric load mode will be changed to Mode
2.
Mode 1: the shaft generator is running with constant load; however, diesel
generators are running in parallel with a variable load demand from the
consumers.
Mode 2: the diesel generators are running with constant load; however, the
shaft generator is running with a variable load demand from the consumers.
If the system is running in Mode 1 and the diesel generators fall under the load
limit set in [590], Mode 2 will be selected automatically.
If the system is running in Mode 2 and the shaft generator overshoots the load
limit of the set point for asymmetric load sharing, Mode 1 will be selected
automatically. Switching from one mode to the other can not be faster than
the time delay set in Parameter [591].
“POWER TAKE IN MODE” for the shaft generator
If Parameter [588] is programmed with “2”, asymmetrical load sharing is
selected (specially prepared for shaft generator, Parameter [589]) and the
function “reverse power blocked” (input E8, CMA132, Terminal 28) is
activated, the program will be changed as follows:
If one of the other running generators exceeds the limit of Parameter [590], the
asymmetric load mode will be changed to Mode 4.
Mode 3: The shaft generator is running with constant reverse load; however,
the diesel generator are running with variable load demand from the
consumers and the shaft generator running as motor. If the system is running
in Mode 3 and one of the diesel generators exceeds the load limit set in [590],
Mode 4 will be selected automatically.
Mode 4: Diesel generators are running with constant load and the shaft
generator and the consumers are sharing the load.
If the system is running in Mode 4 and the shaft generator overshoots the load
limit of the set point for asymmetric load sharing (set in menu screen), Mode 3
will be selected automatically. Switching from one mode to the other can not
be faster than that of the time delay set in Parameter [591]. The limit of the
asymmetric load setting of the shaft generator can be set in the menu screen.
For activating the „POWER TAKE IN MODE“ the following parameters must be set:
[58] = 0; [59] = 0; [60] = 100; [61] = 5 sec; [581] = 0; [588]= 2;
[589] = chose function input to activate mode 3+4.
[590] = 60 - 100%; [591] = 3 sec;
The limit of asymmetrical load sharing must be lower than the value set with
Parameter [590].
[ 589 ] The aggregate chosen to run in asymmetrical load sharing (in our example, the [ 589 ]
shaft generator) must be selected in Parameter [589] via a function input. For
example, if a “3” has been set and a signal given to Function 3 (E11,
CMA132,Terminal 31), then asymmetrical load sharing for the shaft generator
will be activated.

SERVICE MANUAL
[ 609 ] Alarms managed by Synpol D are subdivided into four alarm groups. [ 609 ]
1. system alarms (Alarm No. 60-65) 2. short circuit / differential protection
3. generator alarms (without 2.) 4. diesel alarms (Alarm No. 80-99)
With Parameter [609] the alarm outputs A10 and A26 can be modified in the
following ways:
Parameter [609] = {0} : A10 = 1.-4. common alarm for all alarm groups
A26 = 4. diesel alarms
Parameter [609] = {1}: A10 = 1. system alarm (Alarm No.60-65)
A26 = 2. short circuit / differential protection &
3. generator alarms and 4. diesel alarms
Parameter [609] = {2}: A10 = 1. system alarms and
2. short circuit / differential protection
A26 = 3. generator alarms and 4. diesel alarms
Every alarm group is assigned to a software event (see Event No. 621-624),
thus it is possible to activate a function output with a user-defined alarm
group.
[ 610 ] Delay time for special event combination: [ 610 ]

• Delay time for Event [625]; see 1.5.12 Software Events.

{7}: After the appearance of Generator Alarms 124 & 136, the normal
procedure of tripping of the breaker will be blocked and the following
procedure will be activated. Diesel Alarm 8 will now be activated by
Generator Alarms 124, 128, 132 & 136. Alarm 8 must be used for starting
another diesel aggregate (Set Alarm 8 to Priority 2 or 3). The procedure is
now different. After the stand-by-diesel is started and ready for connection, no
synchronizing will be made because the bus is abnormal. As result the breaker
of the running diesel will be tripped.
[ 612 ] Load sharing supervision (DNV). During the load sharing process, a load [ 612 ]
supervision will be activated. All load values of the generators, which load the
same bus bar, will be analyzed. If the load difference of one generator to the
average net load exceeds the limit of Parameter [612], then after one minute
Event [616] will be activated. Use the Event [616] to activate a relay output.
[ 613 ] Power factor supervision (DNV). During the load sharing process, a power [ 613 ]
factor supervision will be activated. All power factor values of the generators,
which load the same bus bar, will be analyzed. If the difference of one power
factor value to the average net power factor exceeds the limit of Parameter
[613], then after one minute Event [617] will be activated. Use the Event
[617] to activate a relay output.

2. HARDWARE SETTINGS
In addition to computer control with the software parameter settings, a few settings for the
function of the Synpol®D must to be made on the hardware. These are the wire break
supervising, the adjustment for speed measurement, and the independent short circuit release.
In the Pictures 2.1.1 to 2.1.3, the actual position of the DIP switches must be marked with an
“X” in the squares.
2.1 DIESEL CONTROL
For this function it is necessary to install Terminal Board CMA135 (diesel control). On the
terminal board three DIP switches are fitted. These switches are set as described in the
following sections.
2.1.1 WIRE FAULT ALARM AND RELEASE BLOCKING OF ALARMS

In the position “Blocked”, there is no wire fault alarm. In the position “Active”, wire break
monitoring operates in such a way that each of the eight alarms can be activated individually.

2.1.3 WIRE FAULT ALARM BLOCKING RELEASE

For the Terminals 5 and 6, emergency stop and preglow respectively, a wire fault alarm can
be switched on or off. By putting the switch to position 5 or 6, a wire fault alarm blocking
will be released for the corresponding terminal. Please note, however, that Terminal 3 is
combined with Terminal 5 and Terminal 4 is combined with Terminal 6, and that wire fault
alarm for the outputs start and stop magnet (Terminal 3 and Terminal 4) can not be switched
off. As a result, wire fault alarms can be deactivated only for Terminals 5 and 6.

SERVICE MANUAL
2.1.4 ADJUSTMENT OF ANALOG SPEED INPUT

The input for analog speed measuring is adjustable via a terminal board. On the terminals 7
and 8, input speed can be adjusted by means of a resistor.
Procedure:
First, the voltage of the tachogenerator generated during safe speed measurement must be
determined. Since the input of the analog digital converter selects a 4.3 V reference voltage
as full scale, maximum voltage must be reduced. The selected resistance for the voltage
divider is 4.7 k Ω at 10 V. From this, the following formula results:
Umax - 4.3 V
R =
1.2 mA
Example:
The maximum voltage of the tachogenerator has been determined at 50 V.
50 V - 4.3 V
R= = 38.08 kΩ.
1.2 mA
Complete example:
Used Tachogenerator : 15 V / 1000 min-1
Nominal-rated speed of diesel engine : 1500 min-1
Over speed : 1.25 x nominal-rated speed = 1.25 x 1500 = 1875 min-1
Selected speed range : 0 - 2000 min-1
-1
Calculated voltage of tachogenerator: 15 V x 2000 min.
-1
= 30 V
1000 min.
1) Speed at 30 V of tachogenerator:
During the programming operation, the value 1500 for nominal-rated speed is entered in
Parameter [493]. In Parameter [485], the analog tachogenerator is switched on: ON = 1.
In Parameter [486], the maximum speed of the analog input is entered as a percentage.
Maximum speed at 30 V = 2000 min-1
Nominal-rated speed = 1500 min-1
2000 min −1
= 1.33 = 133%
1500 min −1
48 ®
SYNPOL D
SERVICE MANUAL
2) The input resistance of Synpol®D’s maximum speed must be selected.

30 V - 4.3 V
R = = 21.4 kΩ
1.2 mA
Next, the diesel engine is started and run up to nominal-rated speed. The speed will be
displayed on Synpol®D and on the diesel engine (for example, in connection with the
mains frequency). Therefore, if the speed of the diesel engine is 1510 min-1 at a given
moment, then on Synpol®D 1475 min-1 will be indicated and the speed on Synpol®D will
be recalibrated:
1510
x 133 % = 136 %
1475
Then, programming is returned to, and the value 136% is entered in Parameter [486]. Thus,
speed is calibrated.
In case 1580 min-1 is indicated on Synpol®D , the procedure above should be followed.
1510
x 133 % = 127 %
1580
The value 127% will then be entered in Parameter [486].
When an alternator or a three-phase AC tachogenerator is used, it must be connected via a

rectifier bridge and a smoothing capacitor of 10µF to Terminals 20 and 21. As an alternative,
the speed converter CMA 141 can be used. This device has a resistance adaptation for analog
speed and a galvanic insulation for a pick-up signal.
If the pick-up is used, the number of speed pulses per revolution must be entered, and the
corresponding pick-up must be switched on: ON = 1. During operation, frequency is always
used for speed measuring.
2.1.4.1 ADJUSTMENT OF 4-20 mA SPEED SIGNAL

The analog speed signal input on the Terminal Board CMA 135 can also be programmed to
input current 4 - 20mA. For using this speed signal input as a current input, the Parameter
[485] must be set on “2” and a resistor of 221Ω must be connected to the terminals 7 & 9.
The current input must be connected on Terminal 7 (+) and 9 (-). The adjustment of the max.
speed range must be set with Parameter [486].
max .speed range 20mA

Parameter [486] = *100% *
nominal speed 16mA
Example:
nominal-rated speed = 1500 min-1 Æ parameter [493] = 1500
max. speed range = 1900 min-1 at 20mA Æ parameter [486] = 153

2.2.1 SETTING THE INDEPENDENT SHORT CIRCUIT RELEASE
If the device fails, the independent short-circuit release keeps working, even without supply
voltage. If the alarm releases, then the following message will be displayed on the screen:
-62 Short-Circuit Safety Device-
The parameters are set independently of the computer at the Terminal CMA 131 by means of
two DIP switches. The limit of the short-circuit current triggering the release is set at the
switch marked “ x2....x5 IN/Ki”. Only one switch may be switched to the limit value.
The setting value is calculated by multiplying the primary transformer current with the
setting. The DIP switched “Time Delay” are used for setting time delay. The figures
indicated by the switches are added.
Example:
If the switch is switched to “x3” and the current transformer has primarily 800A, the
independent short-circuit protection will switch to 2400A.
If time delay should be 0.9 seconds, then the switch “Time Delay” is switched to 0.3 and 0.6.
The time values, switched on by the switch, are added.
Essentially, the setting should be selected higher than the Parameters [100], [102] and [104].
After short-circuit protection release, the alarm [62] will be indicated on the display.

2.3 CAN BUS

To use the Synpol®D power management function, a communication network connecting all
Synpol®D units is required. The communication is done by a field bus called “CAN”. This
field bus is connected to the Terminal Board CMA 136 of each Synpol®D unit. The cable
used for the connection must have two wires that are twisted pairs and screened.
Furthermore, the connection must be made exactly as shown in the pictures below. Inside
each Synpol®D unit, a 392Ω resistor is connected parallel to the data wire. For data wire
lengths under 40 meters and a connection from a minimum of three to a maximum of five
Synpol®D units, no additional resistor needs to be connected on both ends of the
communication wire. For wire lengths over 40 meters, the internal resistor of each Synpol®D
unit must be deleted, and two 120Ω resistors must be connected on both ends of the data wire.

3.POWER MANAGEMEMT
3.1 COS(ϕ) REGULATOR (power factor control)

When running more than one diesel generator parallel on one net, the Cos(ϕ) regulator can be
activated to make a reactive load balance. The Cos(ϕ) regulator controls two function outputs
in accordance with the settings in the corresponding parameters. These function outputs must
be set with the Software Events [597 & 598]. Event [597] is responsible for increasing the
inductive reactive power; and Event [598], for increasing the capacitive. The actual value for
the Cos(ϕ) regulator is made up of the average value of all connected aggregates on the same
net. To build up the Cos(ϕ), the current of a specific generator must be higher than 5%.
The Cos(ϕ) Regulator works as a three-step controller, (See Chapter 1.1.2.) and the
corresponding parameters to be set are [596-598]. Parameter [596] is the break time;
Parameter [597], the pulse time, and Parameter [598], the sensitivity of the three-step
controller.
Switching on and off the Cos(ϕ) regulator is directly related to the switching on and off of
load sharing. For example, the input “Load Sharing OFF” (E4 CMA132 Terminal 24) is
activated on only one Synpol®D unit in the same net. As a result, all diesel aggregates
running on that same net will be switched off for load sharing and Cos(ϕ) regulation.
3.2 ASYMMETRICAL COS(ϕ) REGULATOR (asym. power factor control)

When working in an asymmetrical Cos(ϕ) regulator mode, the actual value for the Cos(ϕ)
regulator will be a set value and will not be dependent on the average value of all Cos(ϕ)
regulators running on the same net. The actual value can be set on the screen by calling up the
menu page. On the menu page, the cursor can be scrolled with the arrow keys to the window
“ASY.POWERFACTOR”. In the position of the blinking cursor, the actual value can be
changed from “0-99”. For example, if “80” is set, the demanded value of the Cos(ϕ) regulator
will be 0.80. Capacitive load will be distributed from the generator to compensate for the
inductive load of the consumers. Switching on and off the Cos(ϕ) regulator is directly
connected to switching on and off the load sharing. Similarly, switching on and off the
asymmetrical Cos(ϕ) regulator is directly connected to switching on and off the asymmetrical
load sharing. To activate the asymmetical Cos(ϕ) regulator and asymmetrical load sharing on
mains parallel operation, Parameter [581] = “1” must be set.
3.3 VOLTAGE REGULATOR

The voltage regulator regulates the voltage of each generator. The voltage regulator is a
three-step controller. (See Chapter 1.1.2.) The adjustment of the voltage is connected to the
output function. To increase the voltage, Event [593] has to be set to an output function, and
to lower the voltage, Event [594] has to be set to an output function. Both output functions, to
increase or to lower the voltage, must be connected to a motor-controlled variable resistor. To
adjust the demand voltage, the variable resistor must be connected to the input of the AVA of
the generator. Parameters [592-595] are used to set the regulator. Parameter[592] is the
demand voltage value; Parameter [593], the break time; Parameter [594], the Pulse time, and
Parameter [595], the sensitivity of the regulator.
Switching on and off the voltage regulator is directly connected to switching on and off the
frequency static regulator. Additionally, the voltage regulator switches on when

4. FUNCTION FOR DISCONNECTING THE MAINS

In addition to the diesel and generator protection functions, Synpol®D also has a protection
function for disconnecting the generator from the mains in times when there are short
interruptions of the mains, usually resulting from lightening interference. This protection
function is a requirement of electric companies. The following protection functions are:
• Over and under voltage protection function

• Over and under frequency protection function
• Quick disconnection form the mains by voltage vector jump.
Parameters [20-30] are responsible for these protection functions. To activate these
protection functions, Parameter [20] must be set to an input function and must be switched on.
4.1 VOLTAGE PROTECTION

The voltage protection function supervises the generator voltage connected on Terminal
Board CMA 131 in all three phases. The actual voltage will be compared with the over and
undervoltage limits.
Overvoltage Supervising:
The limit value for overvoltage supervising is set in Parameters [27] and [28]. The limit value
for the overvoltage (in a percentage) is set in Parameter [27], and the delay time (in milli-
seconds) is set in Parameter [28]. The overvoltage limit value compares to the nominal-rated
generator voltage set in Parameter [14]. If an overvoltage limit of 120% of the generator
voltage is to be set, then Parameter [27] = 120 must be set.
If the net protection function is activated and the overvolatge supervising trips, then the
Software Event [78] will be set and the following message shown on Synpol®D’s alarm
screen:
“78. OVERVOLTAGE MAINS PROTECTION”
The Event[78] must be set to a function output. The Event [78] and the corresponding set
function output will be released either if the generator voltage falls below the limit value of
the overvoltage or if the net protection function is switched off. Then, the alarm on the screen
can be acknowledged. Overvoltage supervising can be switched off by setting Parameter [27]
= 0.

Undervoltage Supervising:
The limit value for undervoltage supervising is set in Parameters [29] and [30]. The limit
value for the undervoltage (in a percentage) is set in Parameter [29], and the delay time (in
milli-seconds) is set in Parameter [30]. The undervoltage limit value compares to the nominal-
rated generator voltage set in Parameter [14]. If an undervoltage limit of 80% of the generator
voltage is to be set, then Parameter [29] = 80 must be set.
If the net protection function is activated and the undervoltage supervising trips, then the
screen:
“79. UNDERVOLTAGE MAINS PROTECTION”
function output will be released either if the generator voltage rises above the limit value of
the undervoltage or if the net protection function is switched off. Then, the alarm on the

4.2 FREQUENCY PROTECTION

By measuring the length of one sinus period of the generator frequency, the frequency
protection function supervises the frequency. Frequency supervising is released if the limit
value of the over or underfrequency is passed
Overfrequency Supervising:
The limit value for overfrequency supervising is set in Parameters [23] and [24]. The limit
value for the overfrequency (in a percentage) is set in Parameter [23], and the delay time (in
milli-seconds) is set in Parameter [24]. The overfrequency limit value compares to the
nominal-rated generator frequency set in Parameter [16]. If an overfrequency limit of 51.5 Hz
of the generator nominal-rated frequency of 50 Hz is to be set, then Parameter [23] = 103%
must be set.
If the net protection function is activated and the overfrequency supervising trips, then the
screen:
“76. OVERFREQUENCY MAINS PROTECTION”
function output will be released either if the generator frequency falls below the limit value of
the overfrequency or if the net protection function is switched off. Then, the alarm on the
screen can be acknowledged. Overfrequency supervising can be switched off by setting
Parameter [23] = 0.

Underfrequency Supervising:
The limit value for underfrequency supervising is set in Parameters [25] and [26]. The limit
value for the underfrequency (in a percentage) is set in Parameter [25], and the delay time (in
milli-seconds) is set in Parameter [26]. The underfrequency limit value compares to the
nominal-rated generator frequency set in Parameter [16]. If an underfrequency limit of 49 Hz
of the generator nominal-rated frequency of 50 Hz is to be set, then Parameter [26] = 98%
must be set.

4.3 VECTOR JUMP SUPERVISING

The vector jump supervising protects synchrongenerators by tripping the breaker if a net
disturbance occurs. When there are short interruptions of the mains, usually resulting from
lightening interference, the re-occurring voltage of the mains can meet the remaining
generator voltage at the wrong phase angle.
Parameters [21] and [22] can be used for setting the vector jump supervising. The vector jump
lengths can be set in Parameter [21], and the increase in current (in a percentage) after a phase
jump can be set in Parameter [22]. If Parameter [22] is set = 0, then the increase of current
after a phase jump will be ignored. If Parameter [21] = 0, the vector jump supervising
function will be switched off.
If the mains protection function is switched on and the vector jump supervising is released,
Software Event [75] will be set for two seconds. Software Event [75] can be set to a function
output and the following information will appear on the alarm screen:
“75.RAPID PHASE JUMP MAINS PROTECTION”
The alarm can be acknowledged on Synpol®D.

5. COMMISSIONING
5.1 COMMISSIONING THE SYNCHRONIZATION UNIT

During commissioning if a generator is to be connected for the first time to the busbar system,
it is absolutely necessary to use the following procedure:
1. Isolate the appropriate busbar system. (No generator or shore connection breaker can be
switched on.)
2. Switch of the generator breaker of the set being tested is to be switched on via the
blackout chain. (The synchronization system is not operating during this procedure.)
3. To call up the synchronization display, the key combination “Shift 1” and “SYNCHR.”
must be pressed on Synpol®D. The differential frequency and the differential angle, must
be zero or show only a very small value. If the display does not indicate zero, the wiring
must be adjusted.
4. The phase rotation of the busbars must be tested.
5. All remaining generators are then connected and tested using the same procedure
described in items 1 –4.
This procedure must be followed as described during commissioning!!
5.2 WORKING WITH THE TESTING DEVICE
To establish generator control according to the standard diagrams, the test plug (XO) must be
installed. The cable of the testing device is then inserted into the test plug. Following this, a
lamp will flash for each phase of the testing device. Next, a fuse must be inserted behind each
lamp to protect the test unit.
In each phase of the secondary circuit, the nominal currents of 1A or 5A can be preselected
and set via a dial. Thus, switching over the ammeter at the same time. The current is read
from the corresponding scale. The direction of the current is set with the second switch. In
the position “Normal”, the direction of the current is from the generator to the mains system.
In the position “Reverse”, the direction from the mains system to the generator (reverse
power) is simulated. The ammeter of the switch plant operates at the same time when the
ammeter change-over switch is set to the correct position.
For each phase, the point for the tripping of non-essential consumers can now be approached
by increasing the current and switching off the main breaker because of an overcurrent. The
ammeters of the switch plant indicate the correct current, while the indication of the
instruments of the testing device must be converted by using the KJ value:
.
Nominal - rated generator current
K J value =
Nominal − rated primary current of the C.T.
®
SYNPOL D 59
SERVICE MANUAL
For example, if a KJ value of 0.8 has been calculated, and if the value of IN (nominal-rated
current) of the generator has been set, a release will occur when: the red mark on the
ammeters of the switch plant system has been reached or a reading of 0.8A on the ammeters
of the testing device has been reached.
For testing the short-circuit release, only the instrument of the testing device may be used. If
a setting of 3 x IN of the generator has been selected, the value must be multiplied by KJ =
2.4. If on the instrument of the testing device, a value of 2.4 has been set (the 5A range must
be selected), then release must follow.
When there is a reverse power release, the scale of the power-measuring instrument of the
switch plant must be used for indication. The corresponding switches must be set to position
“Reverse”.
The testing device may be used with the generator’s circuit breaker switched either on or off.
If the circuit breaker is switched on, then the currents of the testing device must be added to
those of the generator under operation. If a certain power is to be set, then all three current
phases must be set to the same value.
During operation of the testing device, it is necessary for the generator voltage to be present.
The earth terminal of the testing device must be connected to the ground of the switch plant,
and the “N” terminal (neutral terminal) must be connected to the N conductor (neutral
conductor) of the switch plant if there is any.
