generator set on pressing the start push button. Three attempts starting
facility shall be operative for the start-up function. Alternator circuit breakers
closing and trip operations shall also be through operator only by pressing

on 'close' button shall be ineffective.

1.3.9 AMF WITH AUTO-SYNCHRONIZING MODULE

1.3.9.1 A line voltage monitor shall monitor supply voltage on each phase. When the
mains supply voltage fails completely or falls below set value (variable
between 80 to 95% of the normal value) on any phase, the monitor module
shall initiate start-up of diesel engine. To avoid initiation due to momentary
disturbance, a time delay adjustment between 0 to 5 second shall be

1.3.9.2 A three attempt starting facility shall be provided, 6 seconds ON, 5 seconds
OFF, 6 seconds ON. If at the end of the third attempt, the engine does not
start, it shall be locked out of start and a master timer shall be provided for

make it feasible to vary independently ON/OFF setting periods from 1-10
seconds. If alternator does not build up voltage after the first or second start
as may be, further starting attempt will not be made until the starting facility
is reset.

1.3.9.3 Once the alternator has built up voltage, the alternator circuit breaker shall
close connecting the load to the alternator. The load is now supplied by the
alternator.

1.3.9.4 When the main supply is restored and is healthy as sensed by the line
voltage monitor setting, both for under voltage and unbalance, the system
shall be monitored by a suitable timer which can be set between 1 minute to
10 minutes for the load to be transferred automatically to main supply. The
diesel alternator set reverts to standby for next operation as per description
in paragraphs 4.4.1, 4.4.2 and 4.4.3 above.

1.3.9.5 In the Auto synchronization mode, the controller will ensure that the
synchronization parameters like Voltage, phase sequence and frequency of
the incoming DG set are matched with the bus supply. After satisfying all the
required parameters in communication with the Governor/Motorized

13   
 
Access Towers II 
 

potentiometer, as required, the signal will be given to close the respective

ACB. This procedure shall be repeated for all the successive DG sets in the
group.

1.3.9.6 If the load on each DG set is less than 60% (adjustable) of its capacity, one
of the sets will switch off automatically and the load is transferred to the
running set, similarly the load is increase 80% (adjustable) of the running
generator other should be called into operation. This sequence will continue
until balance is attained. On resumption of CEB power at all the locations;
DG sets will switch off after cool down period of 5 minutes. The lead DG
shall be interchangeable automatically depending on the working condition.

1.3.9.7 Automatic DG loading/ unloading for Bump less load transfer: Soft loading
and unloading, avoid shock loading and stress on engine/alternator, avoid
system disturbance, avoid shock loading and stress on engine/alternator,
facility to adjust/unload dwell time.

1.3.9.8 Automatic Dead bus closing: Only one breaker shall close on dead bus and
each LSM (line synchronising module) shall communicate with others to
ensure the above function. Isochronous load sharing ensures equal load
sharing among DG sets.

1.4 COMMISSIONING AND TESTING:

1.4.1. The plant shall be tested at the supplier's premises, in accordance with BS 5514
Parts 2 and 3 (ISO 3046) and NFPA 110. The tests shall be for rated load test at the
rated power factor using inductive load banks, to be witness by the Engineer/Client.

1.4.2 Thereafter, an on-site test shall take place after completion of all the installation
works using a resistive bank delivering the name plate current. The Engineer
requires being present at the site load bank test. If the inductive load bank test for
the rated kW at rated power factor has not been done then the site load test shall be
carried out by suitably sized inductive load bank.

1.4.3 All necessary fuel, load bank provision and cabling works to suit the above shall be
allowed for in this scope of works.
