5.41 Synchronising facility shall be available on UCP for control of ACB of 415 V
breakers located in TG building.
On loss of normal supply, No volt relay connected to N/E bus will trip the
incomer to N/E switchgear from USS and at the same time give starting
impulse for DG set of each unit to start automatically. In case DG set of first
unit is not able to start the standby DG set connected to bus will start. When
DG set reaches the rated speed and voltage, incomer to N/E switchgear from
DG set closes automatically provided incomer from USS has opened.
All service like lighting, essential motors for safe shutdown of the unit, UPS
incomers, battery charger AC supply, etc. shall be connected to this bus. DG
supply shall be extended to N/E bus in less than 15 sec from loss of power at

on the selection made, incomer to bus section – A or to bus section – B will
be tripped once bus section breaker is closed manually, thus maintaining

running breaker failing to trip within a pre-set time, (i.e. if the two sources
