AMF generator set controller MC 400

parallel

Microcontroller based device, aimed for managing the mains (and the relative circuit breaker) in applications composed by multiple generators operating in parallel. Multiple MC400 controllers are allowed for each system, to manage multiple mains. MC400 performs a continuous check of the mains voltages characteristics; in case of anomalous voltages, it can immediately operate on the MCB circuit breaker (loads protection from abnormal mains voltages) and start the generators to supply the loads (AMF function). When the mains returns in correct conditions, it allows the gensets synchronization to the mains ("reverse synchronization"), avoiding a blackout on the loads ("short time parallel"). While the generators are in parallel to mains, MC400 continuously checks the mains to detect any faults, (interface protection): in case of anomalies, it opens the MCB circuit breaker to isolate the generators from the mains. MC400 includes -The centralization of the start/stop commands towards the generators. -An internal synchronizer with voltage, frequency and phase differences control. -The centralized management of active power setpoints for the generators, to allow the gradual transfer of the loads with a specifiable rate. -The centralized management of power factor setpoints for the generators, when operating in parallel with the mains. -The production in parallel to mains at fixed power (BASE LOAD), with the power setpoint for the generators settable by parameter or by analogue input. -The production in parallel to mains at variable power (IMPORT EXPORT, variable production on the generators to guarantee a fixed power on the mains)
