Generator synchronizer PCS-9659

IRIG

Overview
PCS-9659 is a digital synchronizer designed for generator-to-bus paralleling and line reclosing. It continuously monitors voltage, frequency and phase angle and issues correction signals to the prime mover governor and generator voltage regulator to achieve voltage and frequency matching. The device supports automatic, semi-automatic and manual synchronizing modes and is adapted for multi-generator systems in industrial and power-distribution applications.

Protection and Control - Modes & Functionality

• Automatic synchronizing (25A)
• Semi-automatic synchronizing (25SA)
• Manual synchronizing (25M)
• Multi-generator paralleling: synchronization support for up to 10 circuit breakers with independent frequency and voltage regulation per breaker
• Blocking output to external equipment and input for receiving external blocking signals

Alarms, Events & Recorder

• Low voltage alarms (system side and connection side)
• PT circuit failure alarms (both sides)
• Synchronous mode error and synchronization failure alarms
• Over-voltage, synchronization count error, remote startup error
• Self-diagnostic and built-in fault recorder
• Total 1024 SOE entries (closing, alarms, binary input changes, operator actions)
• 64 closing records

Communication & Interface

• Ethernet: up to four 10Base-T/100Base-TX (RJ45) or two 100Base-FX ports; supports IEC 61850-8-1 MMS, IEC 60870-5-103 over TCP/IP, Modbus TCP
• Two RS-485 rear ports for IEC 60870-5-103 or Modbus RTU
• One RS-485 port for clock synchronization and one RS-232 port for printer
• Front faceplate RJ45 port for testing and configuration
• Clock synchronization via pulse, IRIG-B and SNTP
