Expect only the best

from SELCO
Since the origin in 1960, SELCO technology has provided the electrical
power generation market with high class equipment, living up to the major
international standards.

SELCO manufactures and supplies electronic relays and microprocessor

based equipment for control, monitoring and protection of medium sized
generators in parallel operation.

Primarily the products are used for generators on board ships and in com-
pact land-based power stations where operation in parallel with the grid
(utility) may also be a requirement.

SELCO also manufactures a wide range of alarm annunciators, indicator

panels and software for use in a variety of marine and land-based applications.
The process industry is one type of land-based application. All products
undergo thorough test and inspection procedures to ensure high reliability
and continuous operation in the field.

Since its establishment as an independent company in 1984, SELCO has

continuously expanded its activities within the generator control and alarm
annunciator markets. SELCO products are marketed and sold in more than 60
countries worldwide. SELCO offers a comprehensive range of services includ-
ing technical support, applications support and spare part services.

SELCO staff and its partners worldwide take pride in exceeding their custo-
mers’ expectations in their quality and excellent service.
Therefore, you should expect only the best from us!

The SELCO equipment has been thoroughly tested by

certified laboratories with regard to high vibration levels,
heat, cold, humidity, salt mist, EMC emission and immunity
as well as other parameters.

SELCO products are in accordance with all significant

international standards and have been approved and
certified by the major marine classification societies.
! „Even when you represent a small local
distributor, you feel important. Your problem
instantly becomes a challenge for the
whole SELCO team, and is never left
unanswered.“

 Product Overview Generator Monitoring Alarm & Indication

SELCO’s product philosophy is to offer easy-to-install, serviceable and

reliable modular system components for mounting on switchboards and
control consoles. Systems based on such components provide high flexi-
bility, easy troubleshooting and require very little maintenance and service,
which give our customers a low Total Cost of Ownership (TCO).

SELCO generator controls cover all specific functions for generator sets in
parallel runnning. The components are ideal when converting a convention-
ally manned engine room to unmanned operation.

Synchronizing and
Load/Power Control
The SELCO T-Line
The SELCO T-Line units are for DIN rail mounting or normal screw mounting
in switchboards. Since the units are working on identical principles and have
similar design and adjustment schemes, they are easily installed or replaced.
All units are available in a number of versions varying in supply voltage and
other functions. Customer specific requirements can therefore often be met.

The T-Line units include Auto Synchronizers and Load Sharers. The Auto
Synchronizers perform automatic synchronization of incoming generators in a
minimum of time. The Load Sharers provide automatic load sharing and
system frequency control for generators running in parallel.

Two types of Auto Synchronizers and Load Sharers are available: One type for
synchronizing and load sharing on generators with conventional mechanical
governors (and electronic speed controllers via an intermediate motorized
potentiometer). The other type of Auto Synchronizers and Load Sharers is for
connection directly to all types of electronic speed controllers. For synchroniz-
ing SELCO also supplies a Synchroscope for illuminated indication of the
phase difference.

Also available is a VAr Load Sharer for automatic load sharing of the reactive
power or for power factor control on generators running in parallel with the
grid (utility).

The T-Line units include a complete range of relays for protection of genera-
tors. The trip levels and the delays before trip are easily adjustable using dials
placed under the removable front cover.

SELCO offers relays for protection of overload, reverse power, excitation

loss, overcurrent, short circuit and earth fault. Also available is a frequency
deviation relay for protecting generators operating in parallel to the grid

This figure illustrates the complete protection of a generator. The green area illustrates the

generator manufacturer.

The vertical axis represents the active power, and the horizontal axis represents the reactive
power. The active power is represented by I x Cos φ. The T2700 Power Relay measures I x Cos φ,
and when it becomes too high, the relay will trip, indicated by the upper horizontal red line.

The Reverse Power relay measures -I x Cos φ, representing the active power in the negative
direction, and it will trip for reverse power. The T2100 Excitation Loss Relay measures -I x Sin φ,
representing the reactive power in negative direction, and it will trip when exceeding the level

Power Monitoring
The SELCO power monitoring units are for monitoring the quality of the grid
(utility) or for monitoring the common busbar on board ships. SELCO offers
units for voltage and frequency monitoring, and the units have built-in
adjustable time delays and hysteresis. These units can e.g. give a signal to an
emergency controller to start up a standby generator when voltage or
frequency is outside tolerable range or to stop it again when it is back within
the acceptable range.

The power monitoring units also include an insulation monitoring relay

Engine Start and

Management
The SELCO Engine Controllers are based on decades of experience. The
most universal and flexible unit is the M2000 Engine Controller for the
complete control and protection of diesel generators. For emergency
generators, SELCO also provides the M2100 Emergency Controller. It is a unit
specifically aimed at control of an emergency generator. A number of
parameters can be configured on the two units via programming switches or
via a PC.

The controllers are ideal for both land-based as well as marine-based installa-
tions. The units have been type approved by the major marine classification
societies.
For use with the controllers the M0500 Tacho Voltage Detector has been
developed for detection of frequency and voltage levels.
For land-based installations the H2000 Engine Controller is a very compact
and universal unit. It includes relay outputs for alarms and shutdown for a
number of programmable parameters. The H2000 Engine Controller has a
built-in detection of frequency and voltage.

Alarm Annunciators and

Indicators
SELCO supplies a number of alarm annunciators and indicator panels for use
in various applications.
The M4100 Alarm Annunciator is a compact 8 channel digital unit for use
with potential free closing or opening contacts.
The M1000 Alarm Annunciator is a highly flexible 10 channel microproces-
sor based unit. Several M1000 units can be interconnected in order to form
large alarm systems.
The M3000 Analog Alarm Annunciator is a very versatile 24 channel unit,
which can be used for monitoring of both potential free contacts and analog
levels such as current, temperature or pressure (through 4-20mA / 0-10V
DC transmitters). Both the M1000 and the M3000 alarm annunciators can
be configured manually or via a PC.
The SELCO indicator panels are for local or remote indication of alarms and
contact signals.

Modbus Indicators and Event Logging

The SELCO indicator panels H1500 and M4700-80 can be used for local or
remote indications of signal states, transmitted from e.g. a PLC through a
common 2-wire RS485 communication bus. The H1500 and M4700-80
supports the MODBUS RTU protocol.
The M4700-80 can also be used as a traditional indicator panel for simulta-
neous status indications from potential free contact inputs.
The H0300 Event Logger monitors and logs all alarms and events from the
SELCO alarm annunciators M1000 and M3000, as well as the M4700-80
MODBUS Indicator.
The H0300 can also act as an event repeater by transferring LED indications
from one unit to another via the RS485 interface, as defined by the user.
The N0300 Process Logger Software is a software package for PC based
logging of all alarms and events from SELCO alarm annunciators and engine
controllers.
