All other shield terminations except at the EGCP-2 should be ac coupled to earth through a capacitor. A 1000 pF, 500 V capacitor is sufficient. The intent is to provide a low impedance path to earth for the shield at frequencies of 150 kHz and up.
CLOSED position. Input Power The EGCP-2 accepts any input power source that supplies a voltage within the 9- 32 Vdc voltage range. It is expected that the installation of this equipment will include overcurrent protection between the power source and the EGCP-2. This...
Potential Transformer (PT) Inputs Potential Transformers (PTs) are utilized with the EGCP-2 control to allow high voltages to be stepped down to a safe level for the EGCP-2 input circuitry. The EGCP-2 control senses generator output voltage through three Generator PTs, and utility and plant-bus voltages via one shared utility/plant-bus PT.
Figure 3-6. Four Wire Wye PT Connections Utility (Mains) and Plant Bus PT Input Wiring The EGCP-2 utilizes one PT input to sense both utility tie-line voltage and plant- bus voltage. This PT input must be the same configuration as the generator PT input.
When the Mains PT Disconnect changes state, the EGCP-2 has to measure less than 40 Vac on the Mains/Bus PT input (terminals 40 and 41). If the EGCP-2 measures greater than 40 Vac after the Mains PT Disconnect command was given, the EGCP-2 senses this as a fault and will not synchronize.

If for some reason the engine does not reach the crank cutout rpm level, the EGCP-2 will crank the engine for the Crank Time. If the engine fails to rise above the crank cutout level in this time, the EGCP-2 will remove the Crank output signal, wait for the Crank Delay, and if allowed by the number of Crank Repeats, will crank the engine again (RETRY).
Reactive Load Control tuning menu, at the Voltage Ramp Time set point. The voltage ramp time is the amount of time it will take for the EGCP-2 to send a 0 to 100%, or 0 to –100% voltage bias signal to the AVR.
The percent level of the voltage bias output can be monitored in the I/O status screen of the EGCP-2. This is a useful point to monitor during initial start of the unit. By issuing Voltage Raise and Lower inputs to the control while operating in the Test Mode, confirmation of proper generator voltage levels at various voltage bias points can easily be made.
The EGCP-2 can be operated in Droop if the Real Load Control menu item “Load Control Mode” is configured for kW Droop or if the unit is operated with the Generator CB Aux input open while connected to a load, or to the mains.
Manual 26174 EGCP-2 Engine Generator Control Package Isochronous Isochronous means repeating at a single rate or having a fixed frequency or period. A generating set operating in the isochronous mode will operate at the same set frequency regardless of the load it is supplying up to the full load capability of the generator set, as illustrated in Figure 5-2.
Load Control Mode in either Normal or Soft Transfer. Isochronous load sharing operates all generator sets in a system in the isochronous mode. Load sharing is accomplished by using the load sensor of the EGCP-2 to bias the speed reference of the isochronous governor. The EGCP-2 load sensors are connected by inter-control RS-485 network.
Process menu of the EGCP-2. This set point uses milliamps for units, so that it is easily related to the 4–20 mA or 1–5 Vdc input signal. The EGCP-2 then adjusts the generator load to maintain the desired value. The EGCP-2 will only operate in a process control mode if it is configured to be a Mains Parallel unit, and receives an Auto, Run With Load, and Process discrete inputs.

(Auto, Run w/Load, and Process) as the Master. 1. Pass the Master by changing the priority of the slave to 1. The EGCP-2 will pass the Master to the slave, and if the new Master has the same process reference setting there will be no noticeable change.
Page 137
Voltage Trim Control The EGCP-2 control will perform a Voltage Trim function when configured for Single unit or if it’s the only Multiple unit operating on an isolated bus. The Voltage Trim function will control the generator set at the Voltage Reference setting (Configuration menu) when on an isolated bus.
PF to move in an increasing Leading PF angle. Power Factor Sharing When either VAR or Power Factor Control is selected, and the EGCP-2 control is operating in isochronous load sharing mode, power factor sharing is automatically selected.

Mains PT input by switching to DO8 (Mains Disconnect) whenever generator synchronization is complete. Switching to the Mains PT allows the EGCP-2 to monitor for a loss of mains condition when operating on a generator that is not synchronizing across its generator breaker.
Page 140
EGCP-2 Engine Generator Control Package Manual 26174 When an EGCP-2 control receives a lock request, it does the following actions: 1. If a dead bus permission request is not also currently being made, a dead bus condition is indicated, and the GENERATOR AUX CONTACT discrete input is inactive (the EGCP-2 control returns a reply message to the requesting unit).
Page 141
Dwell Time allows the synchronizer to be configured for a wide range of synchronizing conditions. The Max Phase Window and Dwell Time set points are found in the Synchroscope tuning menu of the EGCP-2. A larger Max Phase Window, and Shorter Dwell time would typically be used on emergency standby sets, where rapid synchronization is needed.
Figure 5-4. Synchronizer Time Line—Standard Sequence Loss Of Mains Detection and Action The EGCP-2 can be configured to detect a loss of mains condition, and respond to that condition by isolating the mains from the load, and transferring the supply of power to the load from the mains to on site engine generator sets.

Sequencing and Comms menu. The Master unit in any multiple unit EGCP-2 system is always the unit with the lowest Network Priority setting. All slave units are then sequenced on line in ascending order of their Network Priority settings, and sequenced off line in descending order of their Network Priority Settings.
Page 148
Network Priority In order to give the end user of the EGCP-2 the ability to control engine run time levels in a multiple unit system, any EGCP-2 in the system can be used to change the network priority of any of the EGCP-2 units actively on the same network.
Manual 26174 EGCP-2 Engine Generator Control Package Shortly after this occurs, the new Master’s Sequencing Status screen will re- order the Next On and Next Off slave units to fit the new system priority configuration. No units will start or go on load under these conditions as a result of the assumption of the new master.

The above examples are typical sequencing functions of the EGCP-2. Isolated bus applications were shown for clarity. The EGCP-2 is capable of automatic sequencing while in parallel with the mains in the process control, or process control soft transfer operating modes.
EGCP-2 must be properly calibrated in order to perform its role as a controlling device accurately. This chapter discusses the calibration of these various inputs and outputs of the EGCP-2, and the effects of the calibration on the metering and control functions of the EGCP-2.
The sensed generator voltage on the A phase is used in Power Factor/VAR sharing mode when the EGCP-2 is in parallel with other units on an isolated bus. The EGCP-2 uses the Voltage Reference as found in the Configuration tuning menu as a generator voltage reference point when balancing the reactive load on the bus between generators.
Page 158
Alarms Affected The generator current on A phase is monitored and used as an input for the Overcurrent alarm. The EGCP-2 uses all three phase CT inputs for sensing overcurrent conditions, and selects the phase with the highest current at any given moment.

Alarms Affected The generator current on B phase is monitored and used as an input for the Overcurrent alarm. The EGCP-2 uses all three phase CT inputs for sensing overcurrent conditions, and selects the phase with the highest current at any given moment.
Calibration of the Bus PT The bus PT input to the EGCP-2 plays a “dual role” in that it is used to sense both the bus, and the mains PT voltage sensing. The EGCP-2 automatically switches between the Bus and the Mains PT input when performing mains monitoring, synchronizing and dead bus closing actions.
The Speed Bias Offset calibration point sets an offset on the speed bias output of the EGCP-2. This output is fed into the speed control governor to bias the governing speed for synchronization and load control functions. This offset is the starting point from which the EGCP-2 begins all of its speed biasing operations.
It is recommended that the voltage adjustment of the automatic voltage regulator be set for the desired rated voltage of the generator with the EGCP-2 not connected. Woodward...
When this is confirmed, apply the power supply to the EGCP-2. With the EGCP-2 powered up, the unit will go through a RAM test, and after a self check period, will display the System Status Screen. If the control fails to power up properly, remove the power supply input and re-check the polarity and amplitude of the voltage feeding the EGCP-2 Control.
