It is also possible to change screens manually (arrows Up and Down) after displaying the
Synchroscope screen. In this case there is no automatic return to the Main Measuring screen after
synchronization is finished.
Voltage matching
The gen-set voltage is regulated to match the mains/bus voltage with tolerance given by the setpoint
Voltage Window. The regulation is adjusted by the setpoints

The matching loops will continue to run even if the GCB close command has been already issued until
the controller receives GCB feedback or a GCB fail alarm occurs. After the feedback has been
received, the control loops are switched to load and power factor loops or load and power factor
sharing respectively.

6.7.1

Ramping the power up

The first phase of the PTM operation is ramping the gen-set up to the requested power level. The
speed of the ramp is given by the setpoint
change from 0% to 100% of nominal power.
6.7.2

Load control

The load is maintained at the constant level given by the setpoint Baseload. Regulation adjustment
setpoints are available in the

In every moment when the requested load (e.g. baseload setpoint) changes, the ramp described in the
chapter above will also take place.
6.7.3

Power factor control

The power factor is regulated to a constant value given by the setpoint
active. Regulation adjustment setpoints are available in the
