Operating mode can be selected from the front keypad. These seven modes are: 1 . Automatic 2 . Remote 3 . Manual 4 . Offline 5 . Test 6 . Edit Parameters 7 . Default

3.1

Automatic Mode

In the automatic mode of operation, Gen-set is started automatically, if the mains either fail or exceed operating limits, the main CB is opened and generator CB is closed. Voltages of the three phases are monitored continuously. If voltage of any phase falls below a safe lower limit or exceeds a safe upper limit then EC2 takes following action: During engine start delay it waits to see if mains has returned to normal. This avoids false tripping. Thereafter engine start relay (meant for operating cranking motor) is activated for a predetermined period (Start Period) and then the system waits for the engine to start and pick up threshold speed within another predetermined period (Wait Period). If the engine does not start within wait period, then another attempt is made. In this way a certain number of attempts are made. If the engine fails to start after all these attempts, then Fail to Start annunciation is displayed. Delayed supervision of oil pressure is provided at the time of starting. This ensures that sufficient time is available for oil pressure to build up. If subsequently oil pressure is found to be low, then annunciation is given.

EC 2 : AMF Relay

When the mains is restored, the generator CB is opened and mains CB is closed after the Mains restoration time. Then after a preset re-cooling time, the Gen-set is shut down. The mains restoration time ensures that the mains supply voltage is stable before it is made available to consumer. While the Gen-set is in operation, it is comprehensively protected against over-speeding, over-voltage and undervoltage conditions.

3.4

Off line Mode

If generator is supplying load when off mode is selected, then the generator is switched off. The entire switching off sequence is maintained. It also turns on mains CB. Mains CB can be switched off manually.

3.5

Test Mode

3.2

Remote Mode

In this mode, if mains fail or mains parameters go beyond operating limits, the Gen-set start only after getting a command / pulse to the remote start terminal. Generator parameters are continuously monitored. If any parameter goes beyond the set value, generator is stopped after a set time delay. During running of the generator, the generator is normally stopped either after getting a command / pulse to the remote stop terminal or when mains is restored. The generator CB is opened and mains CB is closed after the preset value of mains restoration time. Then the Gen-set is shut down after re-cooling time.

In this mode no-load and load test run of the Gen-set is possible. In TEST mode, the engine is automatically started and supervised and it is checked whether the generator has reached its rated voltage. Should a mains failure occur during test mode operation, the mains emergency operation is initiated automatically. Mains CB open/close switches are active. Similarly generator CB open/close switches are also active.

3.6

Edit Parameters Mode

For a detailed description read Section 9.4. Edit parameters mode enables the user to change operating parameters. This mode can only be accessed after entering a supervisor password. On entering Edit parameters mode relay demands the password. If the user enters correct password followed by E key then the line voltage is displayed which may be edited by pressing + or - keys. The + and - keys work in a special way. If + key is pressed and released then parameter is incremented by one. If the key is held down then parameter keeps increasing by one for 10 seconds. If the key is still held down, then the parameter increases by ten. If the key is released at any point and pressed again, then once again it goes into slow mode.

3.3

Manual Mode

In this mode EC2 ignores mains voltage. It only responds to Start and Stop commands from the keypad. Similarly generator and mains CBs are also operated from the keypad. Precaution: Before giving Start command to generator, one must ensure that the generator CB is open. Start key should be held down until the engine reaches threshold speed. The generator CB may now be switched on from keypad provided that the Mains CB is off. Stop key turns off the engine. Precaution: While pressing stop key, the generator CB must be open. The generator is stopped without going through re-cooling phase. The mains CB can also be activated from the keypad. Interlocking of mains and generator CBs is built into the firmware.

Similarly the - key changes speed of decrementing, if held down.

3.7

Default Mode

In this mode the current operational mode is displayed along with different generator and mains parameters. Relay resumes this mode if unattended for 15 seconds.

4.

Mains Supervision

4.2

Circuit Breaker Supervision

EC2 continuously monitors three phase mains supply voltage and detects unhealthy conditions, if unhealthy conditions are detected, then it trips mains CB and initiates starting of Gen-set. Unhealthy condition shall be defined by user in Edit mode. Unhealthy conditions are defined as follows: If voltage of any phase falls below a low limit or exceeds a high limit. If difference between voltages of any two phases exceeds a preset limit (% unbalance) If frequency falls below a low limit or exceeds a high limit. If Single phase enable is selected then all the phases must become unhealthy for a valid unhealthy condition.

The unit is also equipped with Circuit Breaker Supervision. For supervising the healthiness of circuit breaker the feedback is to be connected at terminal 23 & 24, for Mains Circuit Breaker and for Gen. Circuit Breaker respectively. If after issue of closing command, the check back signal of breaker is not received, the unit will indicate a fault by displaying errors on the LCD display for Mains & Generator respectively.

5.

Generator Supervision

While the Gen-set supplies power, relay can also show all those abnormalities which were anticipated in mains supervision, (except voltage unbalance) there are however two added parameters: engine speed and battery voltage.

4.1

Parameter Selection

5.1

Parameter Selection

4.1.1 Voltage
User selects lower and upper limits of line to neutral voltage in parameter setting mode. EC2 can be used for single phase / three phase systems. However the user can set under and over voltage values. If mains voltage in any phase either exceeds the upper limit or falls below the lower limit, then it is considered an unhealthy condition. In Auto mode the relay trips mains CB if the condition prevails continuously for the user defined time delay. EC2 is also provided with mains voltage unbalance monitoring.

The voltage/frequency limits for the DG set can be set independently of mains settings. The setting procedures are similar to the mains parameters settings. The over-speed is sensed through the frequency of the generating set. In case of over speed the relay trips the generator CB and proceeds to shut-down the engine without entering re-cooling phase. Voltage unbalance of DG is not checked.

5.2

Battery Voltage Supervision

4.1.2 Frequency
User selects lower and upper limits of acceptable frequency. If the frequency is beyond the limits then it is considered to be an unhealthy condition and the mains CB must trip if the condition prevails longer than user defined time delay.

EC2 relay continuously monitors battery voltage and if the voltage falls below a set value, it gives only the visual indication by flashing the LED marked Battery Voltage on the front plate of the relay. Indication of high battery voltage is also available with fixed settings i.e. if low battery voltage is set below 12 V high battery voltage will be automatically set as 14 V & if low battery voltage is set above 12 V, setting of high battery will be 28V. When the battery voltage returns its operating limit, then the LED marked Battery Voltage returns to normal state.

4.1.3 Frequency Blocking Voltage

Frequency supervision is disabled below this voltage.

5.3

Emergency Stop

The Gen-set can be stopped in the event of an emergency by shorting terminal marked Emergency Stop to the negative terminal of battery. In this case the re-cooling phase is bypassed.

EC 2 : AMF Relay

5.4

Time Circuits

Mains Restoration Time

It is the time from mains recovery to closing of mains CB. This timer is started when mains recover. Mains must remain healthy during this period otherwise the timer is reset.

EC2 provides a user friendly MMI (Man-Machine Interface) for setting different time circuits for engine start delay, stop delay, mains restoration, re-cooling etc. Table 1 gives the entire time settings.

Generator Start Delay

It is the time between mains failure and initiation of start procedure.

5.5

Time Elements

Auto Hooter reset period

It is related to hooter operation and it can be set by the user. It starts as soon as hooter starts. If hooter is not silenced within auto-silence period, then at the expiry of this period hooter is automatically stopped.

Delayed Supervision Time

Oil pressure takes time to build up and hence low pressure alarm is initially on. Thus the alarm is not meaningful. We must give time for oil pressure to build up and then monitor the alarm. The process is called Delayed Supervision and this time is user settable. The timer starts after generator voltage exceeds ignition voltage. This is also a form of delayed supervision. When GCB is closed, entire load is taken by the Gen-set. If there are loads which draw heavy starting current then generator voltage will dip as soon as GCB is closed. The dip will persist for some time. During this time generator voltage should not be monitored otherwise EC2 will decide to trip generator. The time allowed for this delayed supervision is Generator tripping delay. It is user settable. This timer starts as soon as generator circuit breaker is closed.

Generator CB on Delay
Generator circuit breaker is not closed immediately after generator exceeds ignition speed. A time delay is introduced. This time delay can be set by the user. During this time EC2 checks if generator voltage is healthy. This timer starts after generator voltage reaches safe limit.

Generator re-cooling Time

Engine is not switched off immediately after GCB: (Generator Circuit Breaker) is opened. The Gen-set needs time to cool off. If it is stopped, cooling action also stops and the heat stored in its mass starts raising its temperature. This temperature can attain dangerous levels depending on the duty to which gen-set was subjected to before GCB was opened. Generator is allowed to run at no load for sometime, this is known as recooling time. Re-cooling time can be set by the user.

Generator Run Hours

This timer is started as soon as GCB is closed and stopped when GCB is opened. It accumulates the time for which Gen-set runs. The time is stored in hours and goes up to 9,999 hours. The hour counter resets on exceeding 9999 hours.

Generator Cranking Period

Engine is cranked for the duration of Generator Cranking Period and then waits for engine to start. If engine starts (generator Voltage > Ignition voltage OR Ignition On contact closes), during Generator Cranking Period then also cranking is stopped. This period can be set by the user.

Generator Off Delay

This timer is started as soon as either generator unhealthy condition is detected or mains restoration time is over and generator CB is turned off when the set time elapses. This time is set to Generator Off delay.

Generator Cranking Wait Period

It is the time interval between two start attempts. During this period cranking is not repeated.

Annex - 1 EC2 VERSIONS EC2 V1.5

We are treating EC2 V1.5 as Standard Version

EC2 V1.6
1. 2. 3. Potential free output contact for start failure-hooter relay has been used for this purpose as follows; the contact across terminal 9, 10 operates only on fail to start condition. Hooter function has been disabled. Start delay timer-The present range of the start delay timer is from 0-999 sec. The range has been changed to 0-999 minutes with a step of 1 min Remote mode: In the remote mode the EC2 starts the DG after getting remote start command or at the expiry of Gen Start Delay whichever comes first.

EC2 V1.71
1. 2. 3. 4. 5. Default value for MCB CLOSE TIMER is set to 15 sec and generator rated voltage parameter is deleted. MCB will not be closed if any of the phases is having voltage less than mains under voltage parameter. If MCB is switched off because of mains unhealthiness then the MCB open check back is not checked. In single phase operation only if all the phases are not present then only the MCB is made open by EC2. Closure of MCB is not prevented by any fault in DG set.

EC2 V1.10
This is same as V1.5 except that the default mode is Auto. Besides the maximum value of GEN START DELAY has been increased to 9999sec.
