- Tamper Proof configuration via the HHP1, HHP2 or via PC (HHP2 only)
Description
The fully self-contained KCG595E provides precision generator island protection as well as protection against malfunction and human and operational hazards under loss ofmains conditions for either single phase or three phase 3-wire systems.
The DIN rail mounted digitally controlled unit meets the protection requirements for generators connected to mains supply, such as defined in the G99 and similar recommendations.
Less wiring, no extra modules. Operating mode is selected by simple auxiliary contacts on the generator breaker and on the mains breaker. LEDs and open collector outputs indicate operating mode and "First Up" cause of trip.
State-of-the-art digital technology throughout, with quartz-controlled Loss of Mains detection. True RMS measurements.
Loss of Mains Protection
KCG595E will provide the following protection:
- 2 stage Over and Under Voltage
- 2 stage Over and Under Frequency
- Rate of Change of Frequency (ROCOF, df/dt)
- Vector Shift (step phase angle) (see note below)
- Voltage Imbalance
- Loss of Phase (<50ms, any phase <20V)
Generator Island Protection
KCG595E will provide the following protection:
- Over and Under Voltage
- Voltage Imbalance
- Over and Under Frequency
Synchronisation Enable Function
KCG595E also includes a synchronisation enable relay output, which will safeguard that the generator voltage and frequency are within the generator island mode set-points prior to synchronising to busbar or to mains.
Note:
As Default, the Vector Shift is deactivated for G99 applications. The
KCG59x accommodates the new Distribution Code Review Panel's proposal
for Vector Shift immunity.
Enhanced ROCOF protection now provides adjustable averaging filter and
500ms delay for full compliance with the new G99 standard.
