Systems Operation Section
When the fault is programmed as a shutdown fault,
the fault shutdown indicator will FLASH and the AL7
fault code is immediately shown on the upper display.
When the fault is programmed as an alarm fault, the
fault alarm indicator will FLASH and the AL7 fau lt
code is shown on the upper display after the “Alarm
Codes” key is pressed.
Note: If the AC offset adjustment OP10 has been
performed, then the adjusted voltages are NOT used
for determining the fault thresholds for protective
relaying functions. The values that have not been
adjusted for AC voltage are still determined by the
GSC+P (bu t not shown), and the values w ill b e used
instead of the displayed values.
AL8 G enerator Under Voltage Fault (protective
relaying function) – When the line to line voltage
that is between any two phases of the generator
drops below Setpoint P108 or Setpoint P111, the
GSC+P issues an under voltage fault. The GSC+P
canbeprogrammedtoenableordisablethe
under voltage fault as an alarm, a shutdown, or an
alarm and a shutdown. The setpoints for the under
voltage fault are P107and P110. The fault can be
programmed with a time delay from 0 to 120 seconds.
The options with the time delay are P109 and P112.
The fault threshold can be adjusted from 60 percent
to 100 percent of the nameplate voltage (P028). The
setpoints that are used for the fault threshold are
P108 and P111.
When the fa ult is enabled as an a larm fault and a
shutdown fault, the fault thresholds and time delays
can be independently programmed. The independent
programming allows the alarm fault to serve as an
early warning to the shutdown fault.
When the fault is programmed as a shutdown fault,
the fault shutdown indicator will FLASH and the AL8
fault code is immediately shown on the upper display.
When the fault is programmed as alarm fault, the
fault alarm indicator will FLASH and the AL8 fau lt
code is shown on the upper display after the “Alarm
Codes” key is pressed.
Note: The AL8 fault is disabled when the ECS is in
the STOP/COOLDOWN position.
Note: If the AC offset adjustment (OP10) has been
performed, then the adjusted voltages are NOT used
for determining the fault thresholds for protective
relaying functions. The values that are not adjusted
for the AC voltage are s till determined by the GSC+P
(but not shown), and will be used instead of the
displayed values.
AL9 Generator Over Frequency Fault (protective
relaying function) – When the generator frequency
rises above the P113 or the P117setpoints, the
GSC+P issues an overfrequency fault. The GSC+P
can be programmed (P113 and P116) to enable or to
disable this fault as an alarm, a shutdown, or both.
Thefaultcanbeprogrammed(P115andP118)witha
time delay from 0 to 120 seconds. The fault threshold
(P114andP117)canbeadjustedfrom60to72Hz
(for 50 Hz applications, 50 to 60 Hz).
When the fault is enabled as both an alarm fault and
a shutdown fault, the fault thresholds and time delays
can be programmed independently to allow the alarm
fault to serve as an early warning for the shutdown
fault.
When the fau lt is programmed as a shutdow n fault,
the fault shutdown indicator will FLASH and the AL9
fault code is immediately shown on the upper display.
When the f ault is programmed as an a larm fault, th e
fault shutdown indica to r w ill FLASH an d the AL 9 fault
code is shown on the upper dis play after the “Alarm
Codes” key is p ressed.
Note: The frequency shown on the G SC+P will
FLASH when the generator frequency is greater than
70 Hz or equal to 70 Hz.
AL10 Generator Under Frequency Fault (protected
relaying function) – When the generator frequency
drops below the P120 or the P123 setpoints, the
GSC+P issues an underfrequency fault. The GSC+P
can be programmed (P119 and P122) to enable this
fault or to disable this fau lt as an alarm, a shutdown
or both. The fault can also be programmed (P121 and
P124) with a time delay from 0 to 120 seconds. The
fault threshold (P120and P123) can be adjusted from
36Hz to 60 Hz (for 50 Hz applications, 30 to 50 Hz).
When the fault is enabled as both an alarm fault and
a shutdown fault, the fault thresholds and time delays
can be programmed independently to allow the alarm
fault to serve as an early warning for the shutdown
fault.
When the fau lt is programmed as a shutdow n fault,
the fault shutdown indicator will FLASH and the AL10
fault code is immediately shown on the upper display.
When the f ault is programmed as an a larm fault, th e
fault alarm indicator will FLASH and the AL10 fault
code is shown on the upper dis play after the “Alarm
Codes” key is p ressed.
Note: The AL10 fault is disabled when the ECS is in
the STOP/COOLDOW N positio n.
