Page 10 This system ensures the insertion of one contactor at a time, in order to avoid to supply the load by both sources (mains/genset). When the contactor is excited by the mechanic part, as shown by the arrow, it comes back. Use and maintenance Manual AUTOMATIC GENSET CONTROL PANEL with GC310/GC350...
Page 11 BY THE GENSET TWO SOURCES WARNING: check the cyclic direction of the phases MAINS and GROUP before supplying the LOAD. The reverse cyclic direction can cause serious damages to the machinery. Use and maintenance Manual AUTOMATIC GENSET CONTROL PANEL with GC310/GC350...
Page 12 With inserted lock, stopping the supply, the electric operation is inhibited too. The genset control panel must be connected to receive MAINS and GENSET voltage values, keeping GC310/GC350 in AUTO mode, so that the switch can close automatically on one of the two sources and supply the plant.
Page 13 All genset control logics are carried out by the GC310/GC350 controller with microprocessor: Set the GC310/GC350 controller in AUTO mode, using the selection arrows. The operation cycle is composed as follows: In case of mains failure or trespassing of the thresholds values set...
Page 14 This operation cycle is managed with times and thresholds settable in the GC310/GC350 controller. All these values are changeable by the user and can be consulted in the controller manual. Note: Please remember that with Mains live and GC310/GC350 in OFF mode, the switch is commanded to close always in MAINS position.
Page 15 Set the GC310/GC350 controller in TEST mode, using the selection arrows. It allows the automatic start of the genset for the periodic test, enabling the protections. The switch Mains/Genset is excluded. Any possible mains failure, with lighting of the LED connected to it, causes the immediate genset supply.
