EQUIPMENT SERVICED / SERIAL NUMBERS:

Equipment/ Product Description Equipment Part No. Serial Number

Function
Generator 1-5 2025 kVA 690 VAC 1FC2 564-4

4. SERVICE ACTIVITIES PERFORMED / SUMMARY:

Genrator-2 Black-Out: Going through the Alarm/Fault print-out as well as the power-trend charts, it seems
that there had been a problem with the engine. (Instantaneous fuel-rate and speed
dropped and a “Low Frequency” Alarm was generated) See attachment.

Marginal Reactive-Power (kVAr) Load-sharing: It was impossible for the crew to properly balance the AVR’s
between all 5 generators because the Droop-CT at Generator - 1 was erroneously
installed in phase-1 instead in phase-2. (Generator was previously re-built)

No-Load Voltage (all Generators): 700 VAC

AVR Droop-Setting: 50 %
AVR Stability-Setting: 50 %

Note: Because only 500 kW of power was available at dock-side, the fine-adjustment of
the AVR’s may need to be repeated during cruise at a higher power-setting.

Crew received instructions as how to adjust the no-load voltage and the droop-setting.

Remarks: Several discrepancies between switchboard-meters and transducer read-outs at the computer-
consol had been noted. A meter/transducer calibration is recommended.

Customer is interested in future switchboard/breaker testing by Siemens.

Customer is interested in an AVR upgrade engineered/installed by Siemens.

Customer asks for a quote for “recommended” MasterDrive” components.
