The ASCO 4000 Series Digital Generator Paralleling Control Switchgear is designed for prime power and
standby multiple engine generator paralleling operational modes.
An electrical single-line diagram of a typical emergency standby power system is shown in Fig.1.
Fig.1. Electrical single-line diagram of the Emergency Standby Multiple Engine Generator
paralleling system (Where: 52G1-52G4 are Engine Generators; 52F1-52F4 are Distribution Circuit
Breakers; ATSs are downstream Automatic Transfer Switches).
A. The ASCO 4000 Series Digital Paralleling Control System is designed to start and
parallel all engine generator sets, upon receipt of a signal from an automatic transfer
switch (es) that emergency power is required.
B. Normal Mode
Whenever the individual engine generator control switches are placed in their automatic
position, the engine generator system is on standby operation mode in readiness for
automatic starting and synchronization in the event of the utility (normal) power failure
signal.
C. Emergency Mode
In the event of the utility power failure, all generators automatically start and come up to
speed. The first generator set to achieve 90% of nominal voltage and frequency shall be
connected to the bus by closing its Circuit Breaker (52G). Interlocks permit the
connection of only one engine generator to the dead (deenergized) generator bus in the
event of simultaneous generator relay operation. Upon sensing the availability of
emergency power, the priority-1 load block* will be allowed to transfer their loads to the
emergency bus, either through direct control or through a permissive signal to the
automatic transfer switches (if equipped).
Note 1: Loads are divided (grouped) to blocks by their priority level with the number of
load blocks which are equal to number of engine generator sets within one isolated bus
system. The load blocks are usually sized such that the connectable load of each block is
not greater than the kW rating of the generator set connected.
Each synchronizer will automatically adjust the frequency of the on-coming generator(s)
to synchronize with the bus. After synchronism is achieved, the on-coming generator is
paralleled to the bus. When the second generators circuit breaker (52G) is closed the
priority-2 load block will be allowed to transfer their loads to the emergency bus. As each
generator parallels to the bus, another block of load is allowed to be added, until all
generators and all loads are online.
Upon sensing that normal utility power has been restored to acceptable limits, a
sequence shall begin to transfer the load back to the utility source. The re-transfer shall
be initiated after the retransfer to utility time delay has expired (adjustable at each ATS
from 0 minute to 30 minutes) allowing an open transition transfer return to utility. After all
the transfer switches have re-transferred their loads to the normal source, the generator
circuit breakers are simultaneously opened and the engine generators run for an
adjustable no-load cool-down period of zero to thirty minutes; factory set at 5-minutes.
The controls are released and the generators are placed in readiness for the next power
failure.
If a generator fails while operating in the automatic mode, it is disconnected from the bus
and shutdown. Audible and visual alarms will be activated to indicate the condition. If
Bus Load Optimization* is not activated, the lowest priority feeder loads (as
programmed by the operator via the Touch Screen) are signaled to shed so as to leave
one block of load online per generator.
A push-button permits override of the load-shed circuits for supervised operation (one for
each priority except priority 1). By pressing the Load Shed Bypass/Reset push-
button**, the system will transfer the priority-# load block to the emergency bus. By
pressing the Load Shed Bypass/Reset push-button a second time, the ENTIRE priority-#
load block will shed. Indication from the Touch Screen will annunciate the status of each
Priority load block, indicating if it is shed or manually bypassed. If the operator
inadvertently bypasses the load shed and overloads the Generator(s) resulting in a bus
under-frequency, all manually bypassed loads will be automatically shed along with
blocks of load such that the remaining load blocks shall be one less than the number of
generators remaining on the bus. The Bus Underfrequency condition will be
indicated.
Note 2: Bus Optimization as described below under (E) is a standard control feature that
continuously monitors and evaluates the generator demand process and allows the
loading of the actual bus to the excess generator set kW bus capacity level (also known
as a Headroom) based on their priorities.
Note 3: Loads that have been block shed can be manually re-added using the priority- #
Load Shed Bypass/Reset push-button located on the Master control section Touch
Screen.
If the online load exceeds 100% of rated generator capacity, loads will be stepped off in
reverse priority at one second intervals. The Bus Overload indication will light to indicate
that the bus is overloaded. This condition will automatically reset as the overload is
corrected. Once the online load no longer exceeds the generating capacity, step
shedding will cease and the system will continue to power the remaining loads.
Indicators will annunciate the status of each Priority load block, indicating if any loads in
that block are shed or if the load block is manually bypassed. If the operator bypasses
the load shed to bring the shed loads back online, and the online load exceeds 100% of
the capacity again, the system will again step loads off in reverse priority at one second
intervals. This condition will automatically reset as the overload is corrected. This is done
in an attempt to prevent an Underfrequency condition, thereby preventing the entire load
block from being shed.
Note 4: Individual ATS loads shall step on the Emergency bus based on their Step Add
Time Delay values; these Time Delays are adjustable by the operator via the Touch
Screen OIP and are Factory set at zero.
After all generators sets have been paralleled to the bus and all loads are connected, a
stabilization time delay (0 - 900 seconds) factory sets at 60 seconds will be initiated while
a Load Demand Mode* indication flashes. At the expiration of the time delay period, the
system will operate in a load demand mode at which time the mode indication remains
illuminated. The load demand logic controls the number of generating sets on the bus,
such that the on-line reserve capacity of the bus is not less than 10%, nor more than
110%, of the capacity of a single generator set.
Note 1: Load Demand is a standard control feature, which actively monitors loading on
the generators and determines the number of engine generator sets on the bus required
to support the facilitys actual load without overloading or subjecting generators to the
adverse effects of under loading.
Upon sensing that the connected load has decreased the reserve capacity to 10% or less
(field adjustable from 1-29% displayed as 81-99% of Generator rating), a 10 second time
delay is initiated and a Gen Start TD Active indication starts flashing. This time delay
will be field adjustable from 0 - 300 seconds. If the reserve capacity stays below 10% for
the duration of the 10-second time delay, the controls will initiate the starting and
paralleling of the next set in sequence. If, during the time delay period, the reserve
capacity decreased to 0 or less (signifying bus overload), the time delay will be bypassed
and the next set in sequence will be immediately started and paralleled. At the same
time, loads shall begin to shed in reverse order every second until the online load does
not exceed 100% of rated online generator capacity.
If at any time, the online load exceeds 100% of available rated capacity, the system will
remove the last load that was added. If the online load does not decrease to less than
100% of rated capacity, loads will be shed one at a time, every second in reverse order
until the overload is corrected. The Bus Overload indication will light indicating that the
bus is overloaded and will automatically reset as the overload is corrected.
If the online load exceeds 120% of capacity, signals will be given to shed load such that
the connected priority blocks of load are reduced to equal the number of engine
generator sets on line. When the next set is paralleled to the bus, the shed load will be
reconnected and all controls automatically reset. If the next generator set does not come
online, the system will not automatically reset. The Bus Overload indication will blink
indicating that the bus was overloaded and will stay on solid (not blinking) if the bus
remains overloaded. Loads will not be added to the bus while the Bus Overload
indication is active (blinking or solid). Once the operator acknowledges the Bus
Overload indication by activating the Alarm Reset pushbutton, then the loads will be re-
added as capacity allows (in Bus Optimization mode).
If while operating in the load demand mode, an engine-generator set malfunction occurs,
the affected set will be removed from the bus. If the remaining loads online exceed 100%
of the remaining online generator capacity, the loads will step shed as described in the
previous paragraph. If the load does not exceed the online capacity, no loads will shed.
Generator Load Demand mode will momentarily reset and all generators will start.
Upon sensing that the on-line reserve capacity has increased to 120% or more (field
adjustable from 120-140 % displayed as 80-60% of Generator rating), a 10 second
(adjustable 0-300 seconds) time delay will be initiated and a Gen Stop TD Active
indication will start flashing. If the reserve capacity stays above 110% for the duration of
the time delay, the circuit breaker of the last set that went on line will be opened. The
engine will run for its cool down period, then shutdown.
E. Bus Optimization*
Each ATS load should be programmed with a priority value load**. A loads priority value
is a 3-digit number. The most significant digit refers to the loads block priority value (i.e.
201 => priority 2 load block, whereas 118 => priority 1 load block). The two lower
significant digits refer to the loads sub-priority value, or load step priority (i.e. 201 =>
priority 2 block, step 01; 118 => priority 1 block, step 18). Valid priority values are 1 8
while valid sub-priority values are 1 - 99. Therefore, valid three digit priority values are
101 - 899. Note: priority 1 loads (101 - 199) have insignificant sub-priority values since
priority 1 loads are never optimized, also 3 digit priority values of 200, 300 and 400, etc.
are not valid priority numbers. However, because of the dynamic nature of the adjustable
load priorities, all loads, even priority 1 needs to have sub-priority step values.
Note 1: * This feature can be activated by pressing a soft switch on the Master OIP in the
on position.
Note 2: * Field accessible and adjustable via the Master OIP Touch Screen.
With the Bus Optimization soft switch in the "on" position during emergency mode and
with loads shed (loads requiring power), after a stabilization time delay (Bus Opt stable
delay) the optimization feature is activated and a Bus Optimize Active indication
illuminates. The Bus Optimize Active indication flashes through the duration of the
stabilization time delay. At this time, the Bus Optimization loading control will determine if
there is enough room to add the next load by checking the pre-set Load Value (field
adjustable, accessible via the Touch Screen on the master door) assigned to the first
sub-priority load (field adjustable, accessible via the Touch Screen on the master door)
within the highest priority block that is shed and compare it to the excess generator bus
capacity (also known as Headroom).
Should a Priority Block fail to be added to the bus while operating in the Emergency
Mode, loads may be added manually by the operator as described or automatically
through "Bus Optimization". This feature is provided to re-add shed loads one at a time
based on predetermined kW loading values up to the capacity of the on-line power.
If it is determined that the load can be added without overloading the bus, the load is
signaled to add. The real time kW demand is constantly measured and the next sub-
priority load is evaluated. Loads are evaluated at a preset time interval defined via the
operator interface (Bus Opt Step Time). When the bus has been loaded to a level such
that the next load would exceed 95% of bus capacity, the Next Load Exceeds Headroom
indication will activate and load adding will pause. The system will continuously monitor
the generator demand and evaluate if the next load step can fit on the bus. If building
demand decreases and the next load can fit (for the duration of the step time delay), the
system will add it and continue the evaluation process until as many loads as possible
are added to the bus.
If the load has already been added, there is no reason to compare it to see if it will fit; the
program will skip to the next available load.
If at any time, the online load exceeds 100% of available rated capacity, the system will
remove the last load that was added. If the online load does not decrease to less than
100% of rated capacity, loads will be shed one at a time, every second in reverse order
until the overload is corrected. The Bus Overload indication will light indicating that the
bus is overloaded and will automatically reset as the overload is corrected. In this event,
the system will begin a 300 second stabilization delay time (fixed) before evaluating
another load to be added to the bus.
If a generator fails, it will be removed from the bus. If the remaining loads online exceed
100% of the remaining online generator capacity, the loads will step shed as described in
the previous paragraph. If the load does not exceed the online capacity, no loads will be
shed. The Bus Overload indication will activate indicating that the bus is overloaded and
will automatically reset as the overload is corrected.
If the connected load exceeds 120% of online capacity, all optimized loads will
immediately shed in an attempt to avoid an Underfrequency event. A Bus Overload
indication will activate and latch indicating that the bus is overloaded. The system will
NOT attempt to re-add loads until the Bus Overload indication is acknowledged by
pressing the Alarm Reset pushbutton.
In the event of a bus Under-frequency, all optimized loads will be shed as well as any
additional unsupported blocks of load. Load blocks will be shed such that the remaining
load blocks shall be one less than the number of generators remaining on the bus. The
Bus Underfrequency condition will be indicated.
If a load block is manually bypassed, all loads in that block will add, subject to their
individual step timers. If they were already optimized on, they will remain on. If the load
block is then manually shed, all loads in that load block will shed.
Once all loads in a priority load block have been added to the bus, the LOAD SHED
indication for the associated priority will turn off.
A system test switch is provided in the master control Touch Screen to limit access to
authorized persons only. Operation of this switch will initiate an automatic system
operation as if an ATS Accessory 7 (engine start signal) from any of the automatic
transfer switches had operated. However, unless a normal source outage occurs during
this mode of operation, the transfer switches will not transfer its load to the emergency
bus. To terminate this test, the system test switch is reset to initiate a normal system
shutdown sequence.
Each engine can be started for test purposes by placing its generator control switch to
the test off-line position. In this mode, the generator circuit breaker will remain open.
Should a normal source outage occur during this mode of operation, the breaker will
close and the remaining units will be started. Upon restoration of normal power, the
system will revert to single engine test mode until the switch is returned to the
AUTOMATIC position. For on-line test, placing of the generator control switch to the test
on-line position will present a similar operation except that the generator breaker will
close when the generator achieves nominal voltage and frequency.
The system shall be capable of H-O-A control for the ATSs provided the ATSs are
equipped with the load shed relay (Acc 30B signal). During Emergency Mode any ATS
can be individually added to the bus or shed via these controls. The operator can select
the ATS to be added by placing it in the HAND position. When placed in the HAND
position, the load shed relay (Acc 30B signal) at the ATS will be energized (if not
already energized via normal load control), allowing the ATS to transfer to Emergency. If
the operator inadvertently adds too much load, causing a Bus Underfrequency condition,
all HAND switches will be reset back to AUTO and the system will revert to Normal load
control.
When the ATS is placed back into the AUTO position, the ATS will function per normal
load control. Any switch that does not have an Acc 30B picked up by normal load control
(i.e. the switch is in Load Shed) will be immediately transferred back to Normal.
When an ATS first calls for an engine start, the system will immediately begin emergency
mode. Any ATS left in the HAND position will be returned to AUTO and normal load
control will commence.
If an ATS is placed in the OFF position, it will NEVER transfer to emergency. Any ATS
left in the OFF position will not automatically return to AUTO at the start of emergency
mode. An ATS left in the OFF position can only be taken out of OFF via the HOA switch.
If the system is running in emergency mode, placing an ATS in the OFF position will
immediately shed it from the emergency source.
All section modules and optional accessories, described below, can be selected through the ASCO
Catalog number, which will allow the smooth integration of selected items into one paralleling Switchgear
lineup.

set manufacturers via serial based protocols.
The 4000 Series PCS can be simply connected to a Local Area Network (LAN) via
Ethernet to allow monitoring of the transfer switches, engine points and parameters
properly equipped and additional third party devices.
The 4000 Series PCS can be interfaced with an existing and/or new Building
Management System (BMS), via Serial RS485 Modbus Slave and/or Ethernet
Modbus TCP Slave communication protocols for remote monitoring purposes only.
The 4000 Series PCS can be interfaced with ASCOs existing custom SCADA/VPi
package via Ethernet.
Note: ASCOs standard SCADA/Power Quest Vpi32.15 system, due to absence of the
Modbus Serial & TCP/IP Interface is not compatible with 4000 Series PCS. ASCO is
