PPU

Application
The PPU generator controller is a microprocessorbased control unit containing all necessary functions for
control of a synchronous/asynchronous generator. The
PPU can synchronise the generator and after
synchronisation carry out all necessary generator
control and protective functions.
The PPU contains all necessary 3-phase measuring
circuits and presents all values and alarms on the LCD
display. Programming is easily done via a menu
structure in the display (password protected) or via the
RS232 PC connection and the multi-line 2 Windows
based service software. The service software offers
additional features such as monitoring of all relevant
information during commissioning, saving/download of
settings and download of software updates.

By combining these all operation schemes of a

generator can be implemented. The modes are
selected via binary inputs or (optional) serial interface.
- Fixed frequency (stand-alone running)
- Fixed power (parallel with mains)
- Droop (controlled frequency drop with increasing
load)
- Load sharing (generators in parallel, island operation)
The PPU performs programmable ramp-up and rampdown of the power in connection with breaker
operations.

The PPU is a compact all-in-one unit designed for

generators running:
- stand-alone
- parallel with other generators
- parallel with the mains

Generator protection
All protection functions have definite time characteristic.
- Overcurrent (2 levels)
(ANSI 51)
- Reverse power
(ANSI 32)

The PPU is well-suited for PLC-controlled systems,

interfacing can be done via binary and analogue I/Os or
via (optional) serial communication.

Reverse power can also be programmed with inverse

time characteristic.

The PPU carries out a cyclical self-test, displaying error

messages in clear text and indicating errors with relay
outputs, should any errors occur.

Display
The display is separate, for mounting directly on the
PPU or the panel front, connected via cable (option J).

Power or frequency control

The PPU can control the power or frequency in 4
different
modes
with
selection
of
internal
(programmable) or external +/-10V DC set point.

GSM modem
It is possible to connect a GSM modem to the PPU,
enabling the transmission of SMS alarm messages to
up to 5 receivers as well as the establishment of
telephone line communication using the PC utility
software.

Standard functions
Synchronisation
- Frequency control with programmable slip freq.
- Voltage matching possible
- Breaker ON pulse at exact sync. point with
programmable generator breaker delay time
- Black busbar operation of generator breaker possible

4 programmable relay outputs for alarm/trip.
