4. Description Electrical protection 4.2.1 Main machine switch The generating set is protected against short circuits and overloads by a circuit breaker (1) located upstream of the system. Overload protection tripping is not instantaneous; it follows an overcurrent/time characteristic. The greater the overcur- rent, the shorter the tripping time. The rated tripping current refers to an operating temperature of 30°C.
4. Description The differential relay has 2 tests, 1 of which is carried out automatically by the instrument: • Manual test (test button). • Automatic test of toroid-relay connection and release reel relay. The differential relay can operate correctly even in the presence of harmonic distortion or with very disturbed signals. If the internal temperature exceeds the operating threshold, the Fault led (3) flashes. The interruption of operation due to a failure of the torus (breakage of the connecting wire) or a fault of part of the internal circuits, leads to the automatic intervention of the protection.

4. Description 4.3.2 PAC-I mains/generator switchboard PAC-I D5260420 The generating set combined with a PAC-I mains/generator switchboard, forms a complex for the supply of electricity within a few seconds from the sudden absence of the commercial electricity grid. Connect the PAC-I switchboard to the auxiliary terminal block as indicated on the generating set wiring dia- gram and bring the control unit and control it in AUT (automatic) mode.
5. Installation Installation WARNING Before proceeding with the installation, carefully read section Safety - “2.6 Installation precau- • tions” and “2.7 Precautions during operation”. The installation and the electrical connection described in this chapter are indicative. • For these operations, it is necessary to contact Specialized Technicians who must issue the necessary certifications.
5. Installation Indoor installation Important • The room where the generating set will be installed must comply with the legislation in force at the place of installation. Installation of the generating set indoor must be carried out in accordance with the instructions described. D5260270 Fig.
5. Installation 5.3.1 Supporting floor For a correct support of the electronic unit and to avoid the transmission of vibrations, it is necessary to build a reinforced concrete platform (7) on the floor, isolated from the rest of the structure. The generating set frame must be fixed to the platform (7) with dowels or anchor bolts. The platform must have a length (D) and a width (E) greater than 400 mm (200 mm per side) with respect to the support base of the generating set (200 mm per side).
5. Installation 5.4.4 Grounding with isolation monitor In machines equipped with an insulation monitor, connection of the grounding terminal (1) to a grounding system is not required. Located on the front of the machine, the isolation monitor continuously monitors the ground insulation of the active parts.
6. Operation Operation WARNING Before starting the machine, carefully read section “2. Safety”. • It is forbidden to connect the set to the public grid and/or other source of electricity. • Operating conditions 6.1.1 Power The electrical power of the generating set, expressed in kVA, is the available output power at the reference environmental conditions and at the rated values of: voltage, frequency, power factor (cos ϕ).
Page 40
6. Operation For cos ϕ values lower than 0.8, the alternator must be downgraded, because, at the same apparent power, the alternator should provide a greater reactive power. For the reduction coefficients, contact the Technical Support Service. Asynchronous motor start Starting an asynchronous motor by a generating set can be critical, due to the high starting currents that the asynchronous motor requires (Iavv. = up to 8 times rated current In.). The starting current must not exceed the overload current allowed by the alternator for short periods, gener- ally 250-300% for 10-15 seconds.
6. Operation Checks before start-up 1 - Check that the battery disconnect switch is turned ON. D5260720 2 - Check the oil, fuel and coolant levels. 3 - Check that the engine compartment, radiator and battery access doors are locked. 4 - Check that there are no oil, fuel and coolant leaks. 5 - Check that there is no flammable or dirty material around the exhaust pipe.

6. Operation Stopping the generating set 1 - Turn off the loads connected to the generating set. 2 - Set the main machine switch (1) to OFF (insertion lever downwards). D5261970 3 - Press the stop button (5) to launch the generating set stop sequence. The engine stops at the end of the cooling cycle. For immediate stop, press the stop button (5) again.
6. Operation Exhaust post-treatment Generating sets with engines complying with STAGE V exhaust gas regulations require special devices to reduce the emissions of pollutants in exhaust gases. Depending on the engine output, the after-treatment system includes the following devices: Doc (Diesel Oxidation Catalyst): catalyst to purify exhaust gases • DPF (Diesel Particulate Filter): particulate filter that captures soot in exhaust gases • SCR (Selective Catalytic Reduction): device that purifies nitrogen oxides (NOx) in engine exhaust gases. • On engines with power from 19 kW to 56 kW, there are DOC and DPF devices. On engines with a power greater than 56 kW, there are Doc, DPF and SCR devices. 6.6.1 Particle filter (DPF) regeneration Regeneration is the term used to describe DPF cleaning.

6. Operation When an active regeneration is carried out, the "ATT FILTER INDICATOR LIGHT" (1) on the control and • command panel switches on. Aftertreatment D5262060 • The duration of an active regeneration varies, from a minimum of 30 minutes to a maximum of 60 min- utes. At the end of the process, the "ATT FILTER INDICATOR LIGHT" (1) turns off. Note The regeneration ends after 60 minutes regardless of the result obtained in cleaning the filter. Forced manual regeneration (MCM) WARNING During the forced manual regeneration process, do not stop the engine to allow the filter to be •...
Page 46
6. Operation Activating the forced manual regeneration WARNING Forced regeneration should be executed only when requested by the control unit. Repeated • regenerations cause heavy engine oil contamination by fuel. • During regeneration, do not operate any command. 1 - Disconnect all connected loads and turn off the generating set. 2 - Check the fuel level and refuel if necessary to allow a complete regeneration process.
Page 47
6. Operation Service regeneration • Frequent use of the engine with no load or low loads could compromise the outcome of the regeneration processes described in the previous paragraphs. In this case, the system requires a service regeneration process. • This operation can only be performed by FPT Technical Support Centres with a service tool.
6. Operation After-treatment status display The generator control panel provides information on the after-treatment system installed on the generator engine through the following functions: • Universal lamps display (icons). • Display of analogue and binary values. • Control of the post-treatment regeneration function by transmitting commands to the control unit. After-treatment screen The after-treatment screen is automatically displayed once one of the warning lights activates or changes state.
Page 49
6. Operation Active indi- Inactive indi- Exit activated Indicator light Alarm name cator light cator light This alarm is activated when the control unit sends information that the red light of the control unit is acti- vated. The ALARM output is not activated, after the light is turned off, the alarm disappears automatically. This output is active when the control unit sends an active "red light" flag, that is, it has detected a critical malfunction. Do not run the engine until a service check is carried out. This flag is taken from DM1 on J1939 standard ECUs. Some controllers provide this flag in their own pro- prietary frames, others do not provide the flag.
7. Maintenance Maintenance WARNING Before proceeding with maintenance, carefully read section “2. Safety”. • Refuelling Use fuel, coolant and lubricants according to the ambient temperature. 7.1.1 Fuel The fuel required for stage V engines must comply with EN590 and ASTM D975. The cetane number of the fuel should be at least 45. The engine is equipped with an exhaust gas after-treatment system, which may a include diesel oxidation catalyst (DOC), and a diesel particulate filter (DPF).
7. Maintenance 7.1.2 Engine oil To ensure adequate protection of the engine and keep it efficient for a long time, use only the recom- • mended oil. Using different oils can reduce the life of the engine. • The viscosity must be appropriate to the ambient temperature. The oil to be used must comply with the following specifications: • CJ-4 Low S.A.P.S ACEA E6 Low S.A.P.S. Low S.A.P.S. (low sulphated ash, phosphorus, sulphur oil) keeps the catalyst in good working condition. SAE oil classification In the SAE classification, oils are identified according to the viscosity.
7. Maintenance 7.1.3 Coolant The engine cooling system is fuelled with OAT: ENI ANTIFREEZE SPEZIAL coolant, mixed at 50% with dem- ineralised water. It is recommended to continue using the same coolant. If the type of coolant is changed for refuelling, the system must be thoroughly washed. By mixing with each other, the residues of additives of different types contained in the different liquids would create gelatinous substances that could obstruct the system. Use a mixture of 50% demineralised water and 50% low silicate ethylene glycol coolant.
7. Maintenance 2 - Remove the cap (2) and pour the coolant into the radia- tor. 3 - Top up the liquid until it covers the pipes inside the radia- tor by about 5 mm. Note Do not overfill the radiator; allow room for coolant expan- • sion. 4 - Refit the cap (2) and tighten securely. D5262020 5 - After the top-up operations, run the engine for a short period, check the coolant level again and refill if neces-...
