3 Sync and Breaker

The KG-1500 can synchronize a generator circuit breaker to a common bus and synchronize the common bus to a utility mains circuit breaker. It can perform slip or phase matching synchronization and be configured for acceptable breaker closure parameters. The KG-1500 displays synchronization data and issues breaker close commands at calculated phase angles. It has multiple breaker logic and synchronization modes that can be set through its HMI.

KG-1500

Sync and Breaker


Introduction

The KG-1500 is able to perform synchronization of the generator across the


generator circuit breaker to a common bus as well as synchronizing the
common bus to a utility across the mains circuit breaker. It is possible to
configure the KG-1500 for either slip or phase matching synchronization and
the acceptable breaker closure window.

• Configurable breaker closing time
 Used to calculate when breaker close pulse is issued

 Formula for calculating phase angle at closing command


Phase angle = 360o * (Frequency differential) * (breaker closing time)

Example:
Phase angle = 360o * (0.3 Hz) * (0.2 sec) = 21.6°

• Active synchronization is performed. Bias signals to the
governor and voltage regulator are active and breaker
close commands are issued.

PERMISSIVE
• Passive synchronization performed. Bias signals to the
governor and voltage regulator are not active but
breaker close commands are issued.
CHECK
• Active synchronization is simulated. Bias signals to the
governor and voltage regulator are active but breaker
close commands are not issued.
OFF
• The synchronization can be disabled

Breaker Logic
The following MCB/GCB transition modes are available:

1 Parallel 3 Closed transition


• Base load or import / export • Make before break
• Soft load / unload • Block loading / unloading

2 Interchange 4 Open transition


• Parallel for a limited time • Break before make
• Soft load transfer • Only dead busbar closing

5 External
• External breaker control (PLC)
• Only “open” commands issued

Asynchronous Generators
The KG-1500 is able to control and synchronize asynchronous generators. The type
of generator is choosen in the measurement screen.
The pick up is the reference for the closing command of the breakers and has to be
activated.

FAQ
How do I define the operating ranges for Breaker clouser ?

The operating ranges are utilized for permitting breaker closures and defining when an emergency mode should be
initiated.

Mains

Generator

27 |
Exercise
Configure the following application:
1. You are commissioning an emergency standby generator for a manufacturing plant.
Select a “breaker logic” for the test run where the generator assumes the entire plant
load and then separates from the utility. The test mode must be initiated via a discrete
input.
2. A second “breaker logic” mode is desired where the generator assumes the entire plant
load but still remains paralleled with the utility.

Solution
1) Test mode with the generator running isolated from mains
Configure the alarm class for and spare digital input as control. Here DI 3 as “control”

29 |
Solution
1) Test mode with the generator running isolated from mains
Select transition mode “Interchange” to open the breaker at zero power

Mains CT required!

30 |
Solution
1) Test mode with the generator running isolated from mains
Use discrete input 3 also as start command via “Start in Auto”

31 |
Solution
2) Test mode with the generator running parallel to mains
Select “Parallel” transition mode and configure the “Load set point” to Import 0 kW

32 |
Solution
2) Test mode with the generator running parallel to mains
Use discrete input 10 also as start command via “Start in Auto”
