 | | FULLY PROGRAMMABLE GENERATOR SET CONTROLLERS OFFER SIMPLE PUSH BUTTON CONTROLLED OPERATION | | | Tyco Electronics | | 03/07/2006 | | |
New automatic transfer and switching units for diesel or gas generators offer automatic engine starting, stopping, transfer switching, protection, control and metering of generator sets. The new meters from Crompton Instruments, part of Tyco Electronics - Energy Division, are available in two different models featuring an informative LCD display (GEN-TRANS-EN/L model) or simple four-digit LED indicator panel (GEN-TRANS-EN/D model), latest generator set controllers automatically transfer the load from the mains to the generator in the event of a mains supply failure.
Microprocessor technology allows exact measurement, set point adjustment and timing functions of up to 83 parameters to be easily programmed and displayed from the front panel, or communicated via PC-based RS232 standards. Generator set controllers offer manual, fully automatic and test mode control, which allows the generator to be run without using the mains supply load. Operating mode can be changed at any time without affecting the operational status of the generator or load connection.
Once a fault is detected, the generator set controllers shut down the engine automatically. Failures are indicated via the LCD or relevant fault LEDs as well as an additional alarm horn. Units are able to detect any failure of any phase in the mains supply, in which case the generator is started and the load transferred immediately.
Once the mains supply is restored within pre-set limits, the load is transferred back to the mains supply, and the generator is shut down in a controlled manner.
