Control procedure

START / STOP DG, OPEN / CLOSE GB in SEMI-AUTO mode

1. Keep both DG in SEMI-AUTO mode.

2. Keep PMCC-3 EDG incomers in LOCAL mode, Transformer incomers in LOCAL and MANUAL
mode, Bus-coupler in LOCAL and MANUAL mode, TSS in BC position.
3. Close bus-coupler locally at PMCC-3. [Check mechanical closing]
4. Close EDG Incomer-1 at PMCC-3 locally from Trip-neutral-Close (TnC) switch.
5. Press DG START on AGC of DG-A. DG-A should start.
6. Press GB CLOSE on AGC of DG-A. GB should close and power should appear at PMCC-3 Bus-A
(and Bus-B).
7. Press DG STOP on AGC of DG-A. DG should stop. Verify if GB-1 opens (it should). Press DG
start to restart DG. Press GB close if GB opened.
8. Press GB OPEN to open GB. Verify if DG stops (it should not).
9. Open EDG incomer-1 at PMCC-3 and verify if GB opens (it should). Verify if DG stops (it
should not).
10. If DG does not stop on opening of EDG incomer-1, press DG STOP on AGC to stop the DG.

11. Close EDG Incomer-2 at PMCC-3 locally from TnC.

12. Press DG START on AGC of DG-B. DG-B should start.
13. Press GB CLOSE on AGC of DG-B. GB should close and power should appear at PMCC-3 Bus-B
(and Bus-A).
14. Press DG STOP on AGC of DG-B and verify if DG stops. Verify if GB-2 opens (it should). Press
DG start to restart DG. Press GB close if GB opened.
15. Press GB OPEN to open GB. Verify if DG stops (it should not).
16. Open EDG incomer-2 at PMCC-3 and verify if GB opens (it should). Verify if DG stops (it
should not).
17. If DG does not stop on opening of EDG incomer-2, press DG STOP on AGC to stop the DG.

PARALLEL OPERATION in SEMI-AUTO mode

18. Bus-coupler is already in closed position.

19. Close EDG Incomer-1 at PMCC-3.
20. Close EDG Incomer-2 at PMCC-3.
21. Parallel operation input terminals at DG-A and DG-B shall be shorted. (To be discussed)
22. Press DG START on AGC of DG-A. DG-A should start.
23. Press GB CLOSE on AGC of DG-A. GB-1 should close and power should appear at PMCC-3
Bus-A (and Bus-B).
24. Press DG START on AGC of DG-B. DG-B should start. [ DG-B AGC will sense that parallel
operation input is active and other DG is running, therefore DG-B will be auto-synchronized
with other running DG]
25. Press GB CLOSE on DG-B AGC. GB closing circuit will check for sync. and will close if in sync.
26. Check load (kW & kVAr) on each AGC. Load shall be equal on both DGs.
27. Reduce or increase the load. Load shall be distributed equally on both DGs.

Control procedure

START / STOP DG, OPEN / CLOSE GB in AUTO mode

1. Keep both DG in AUTO mode.

2. Keep PMCC-3 EDG incomers in LOCAL mode, Transformer incomers in LOCAL and MANUAL
mode, Bus-coupler in LOCAL and AUTO mode, TSS in BC position. [In this case, as soon as
you give control supply to PMCC-3, Bus-coupler will close automatically]

3. Short terminals – 144/145 in DG-A (or core-3&4 of control cable-09) for REMOTE START
command. DG-A should start.
4. Close EDG Incomer-1 at PMCC-3. GB-1 should close and power should appear at PMCC-3
Bus-A (and Bus-B).
5. Remove short between 144/145 and verify if DG stops, GB-1 opens. Short back and make
sure DG starts and GB closes.
6. Open EDG incomer-1 at PMCC-3 and verify if GB opens, DG stops.
7. If DG does not stop on opening of EDG incomer-1, remove short on 144/145 to stop the DG.

8. Short terminals – 144/145 in DG-B (or core-3&4 of control cable-13) for REMOTE START
command. DG-B should start.
9. Close EDG Incomer-2 at PMCC-3. GB-2 should close and power should appear at PMCC-3
Bus-B (and Bus-A).
10. Remove short between 144/145 and verify if DG stops, GB-2 opens. Short back and make
sure DG starts and GB closes.
11. Open EDG incomer-2 at PMCC-3 and verify if GB opens, DG stops.
12. If DG does not stop on opening of EDG incomer-2, remove short on 144/145 to stop the DG.

PARALLEL OPERATION in AUTO mode

13. Bus-coupler is already in closed position.

14. Parallel operation input terminals at DG-A and DG-B shall be shorted.
15. Short terminals 144/145 on DG-A (or core-3&4 of control cable-09) for REMOTE START
command. DG-A should start.
16. Close EDG Incomer-1 at PMCC-3. GB-1 should close and power should appear at PMCC-3
Bus-A (and Bus-B).
17. Short terminals – 144/145 (or core-3&4 of control cable-13) on DG-B for REMOTE START
command. DG-B should start. [ DG-B AGC will sense that parallel operation input is active
and other DG is running, therefore DG-B will be auto-synchronized with other running DG]
18. Close EDG Incomer-2 at PMCC-3. GB closing circuit will check for sync. and will close if in
sync.
19. Check load (kW & kVAr) on each AGC. Load shall be equal on both DGs.
20. Reduce or increase the load. Load shall be distributed equally on both DGs.
