Page 76: Dummy Load / Load Shedding Control
Operation 6.2 DUMMY LOAD / LOAD SHEDDING CONTROL This feature may be enabled by the system designer to ensure the loading on the generator is kept to a nominal amount. If the load is low, ‘dummy loads’ (typically static load banks) can be introduced to ensure the engine is not too lightly loaded. -
Page 77: Load Shedding Control
Operation 6.2.2 LOAD SHEDDING CONTROL The Load Shedding Control feature (if enabled) allows for a maximum of five load-shedding steps. When the generator is about to take load, the configured number of Load Shedding Control Outputs at Startup will energise. This configurable setting allows (for instance) certain loads to be removed from the generator prior to the set’s load switch being closed. -

Protections 8.3 WARNINGS Warnings are non-critical alarm conditions and do not affect the operation of the generator system, they serve to draw the operators attention to an undesirable condition. Example Alarm Charge Failure Warning In the event of an alarm the LCD will jump to the alarms page, and scroll through all active warnings and shutdowns. -
Page 92: High Current Warning Alarm
Protections Display Reason Shutdown and electrical trip alarms can be disabled by user PROTECTIONS DISABLED configuration. In this case, Protections Disabled will appear on the module display; The alarm text is displayed but the engine will continue to run. This is ‘logged’ by the module to allow DSE Technical Staff to check if the protections have been disabled on the module at any time. -
Page 93: Shutdowns
Protections 8.5 SHUTDOWNS NOTE: Shutdown and Electrical Trip alarms can be disabled by user configuration. See the section entitled Protections Disabled elsewhere in this document. Shutdowns are latching alarms and stop the Generator. Clear the alarm and remove the fault then press Stop/Reset to reset the module. - Page 94 Protections Display Reason The engine speed has fallen below the pre-set trip after the UNDERSPEED Safety On timer has expired. The generator output frequency has risen above the preset level GENERATOR OVER FREQUENCY The generator output frequency has fallen below the preset level GENERATOR UNDER FREQUENCY The generator output voltage has risen above the preset level...

Protections 8.6 ELECTRICAL TRIPS NOTE: Shutdown and Electrical Trip alarms can be disabled by user configuration. See the section entitled Protections Disabled elsewhere in this document. Electrical trips are latching and stop the Generator but in a controlled manner. On initiation of the electrical trip condition the module will de-energise the ‘Close Generator’... - Page 96 Protections Display Reason If the module detects a module on the MSC link which is MSC OLD UNITS ON BUS incompatible with the current module, then the MSC Compatibility alarm will be triggered. Check all the modules’ version numbers (under About | Application Number on the modules’ displays), modules pre V3 cannot communicate with modules V4 and onwards.

Page 97: Over Current Alarm
Protections 8.7 OVER CURRENT ALARM The overcurrent alarm combines a simple warning trip level with a fully functioning IDMT curve for thermal protection. 8.7.1 IMMEDIATE WARNING If the Immediate Warning is enabled, the DSE8600 Series controller generates a warning alarm as soon as the Trip level is reached. - Page 98 Protections With typical settings as above, the tripping curve is followed as shown below. This allows for overload of the set to the limits of the Typical Brushless Alternator whereby 110% overload is permitted for 1 hour. If the set load reduces, the controller then follows a cooling curve. This means that a second overload condition may trip much sooner than the first as the controller knows if the windings have not cooled sufficiently.

K (time multiplier) to give a faster acting trip. If the Alarm is enabled, the DSE8610 Series controller begins following the IDMT ‘curve’. If the current surpasses the Trip for an excess of time, the Alarm triggers (Shutdown or Electric trip as selected in Action). -

Page 102: Rocof / Vector Shift
Protections 8.9 ROCOF / VECTOR SHIFT When configured to run in parallel with the mains (utility) supply, the module monitors for ROCOF / Vector shift trips according to the module’s configuration settings. This is included within the module and will detect failure of the mains supply during parallel operation with the generator. NOTE: This protection operates only when in parallel with the mains supply and is disabled at all other times. -

Maintenance Alarm 9 MAINTENANCE ALARM Depending upon module configuration one or more levels of maintenance alarm may occur based upon a configurable schedule. There are three maintenance alarms in the DSE86xx/DSE86xx series V3 and above, and one level of maintenance alarm in prior versions. - Page 104 Configuration Suite Software showing the Maintenance Alarm Reset ‘button’ in the DSE Configuration Suite SCADA | MAINTENANCE section.
