BOLT 8S3887 - Caterpillar

Engine: 3516C (S/N: KEN1-UP)Introduction
This special instruction is a Quick Start Guide to be used in order to clarify the quick start method for the Auto Paralleling units in the field.Single Unit
Illustration 1 g01951599
Prior to running:
Make lead unit jumper selection to enable dead bus closure. Located at terminal strip on street side.
Illustration 2 g01951615
Application Notes:
In single unit mode, the paralleling controller and Basler protective relay can be switched off if desired. The unit will operate similar to a standard gen set. This switch is located behind the EMCP3 near the terminal switch.Island Mode
Illustration 3 g01951602
Prior to running:
Make lead unit jumper selection to enable dead bus closure on ONE UNIT ONLY and interconnect signal wiring (load share line, VAR share line-if applicable, lead-unit-select wiring) between units. Located at terminal strip on street side.Application Notes:
In island mode, GPC (paralleling controller) performs real (kW) and reactive (kVar) load sharing with like units using independent load sharing analog signals. GPC is backwards compatible with legacy units for real power (kW) sharing.
Reactive (kVar) load sharing should be disabled when paralleling with legacy units. The factory default setting in the GPC is set to "disabled".Utility Parallel
Illustration 4 g01951603
Prior to running:
Interconnect wiring to utility breaker auxiliary contact. Generator control system automatically detects utility parallel mode when the utility breaker auxiliary contact is closed.
Verify lead jumper is NOT INSTALLED.
Verify load share lines are NOT interconnected with other units.
Verify GPC is programmed to the desired Baseload level (default is 1825kW)
Verify GPC is programmed to the desired Ramp rate (default is 10kW/sec.)
Verify GPC is programmed to the desired PF control (default is i0.95)Application Notes:
In utility parallel mode, Basler protective relay will perform sync-check to permit generator breaker closure and protects system from faults when in parallel.
UMR reset: TRIP is reset by pressing STOP on EMCP3 (with 86 lockout relay in tripped state). MAJOR ALARM (indicating fuse loss) is reset by pressing RESET on UMR.
Baseload level is controlled by either the Baseload potentiometer or pre-programmed setpoint in the GPC. Selection is made by a two-position switch.EMCP3 Control
Illustration 5 g01951605
Note: Refer to EMCP3 info film for start/stop instructions.RUN Mode
In RUN mode, operator must close breaker using breaker control switch (when running at normal voltage and normal frequency). Manual voltage adjust is allowed.Auto Mode
Illustration 6 g01951607
Local Start/Stop SwitchIn AUTO mode, breaker will automatically close (when running at normal voltage and normal frequency). GPC automatically adjusts voltage and frequency.STOP
Pressing STOP:"Single Unit" and "Island modes" - Breaker will open immediately and engine goes into cooldown."Utility modes" - Generator load will ramp down to 10 percent (of rated), the breaker will then trip open and engine goes into cooldown.General Notes
Remote run request signal can be disabled, if desired, with jumper removal (jumper installed as default).
Generator breaker can be locked out using the breaker control switch pull-to-lock feature.
Reset the 86 lockout relay by first pressing "STOP" on EMCP3.Generator Paralleling Controller (GPC)

"AUTO" lamp - This LED is lit when any of the conditions below are present.
Controller is performing auto synchronization (breaker is open). EMCP3.3 must be in auto mode and the voltage
