TSI-PTSS 5015 Additional Power Generation Module
This unit has been specifically designed to extend the capability of the power training systems simulator. It provides an additional power generation plant that includes a step-up transformer and an HV output busbar system.
The workstation incorporates a machine mounting bed where different DC and AC motors can be connected to a fixed 3-Phase Generator.
An Automatic circuit breaker main switch provides overall power to the module. It also includes an emergency stop button that will remove all mains power to the module when pressed. All circuit interconnections can be made using 4mm safety leads and sockets.
The outputs from the electronic variable motor drive can be connected to the AC drive motor to allow for changes in the speed and torque of the fixed synchronous machine (Generator). This is a fully programmable control and it can be used with a range of AC motors.
The unit is supplied as standard with the following specification AC Motor:
- V = 220/380V
- F = 60Hz
- Nominal maximum speed: 3,600 RPM approx.
- Rated power: P = 1.5 KW
-
I = 7/4 A approx.
The generator has the following characteristics:
-
Rated power: P = 1KW
-
Nominal maximum speed: 3.600 RPM
-
Vin = 220/380V
-
f = 60 Hz when functioning as motor
-
Vout = 220/380V
-
f = 60 Hz when functioning as generator
-
Iout = 2.8/1.6 A approx.
The output from the generator can be connected
to a step-up transformer. This has an apparent
power of 1,000 VA. The primary voltage for DELTA
connection is 150 V, for STAR connection it is
260 V. The secondary voltages for DELTA
connection are 69 -127 V, for STAR connection
they are 120 - 220 V.
The additional generator unit has two
types of parallel synchronisation: Manual and
Automatic.
Manual
This will
allow manual selection of parallel
synchronisation between the output of the
3-phase generator and the power training systems
simulator systems infinite power grid using a
voltmeter, zero-voltmeter and a synchroscope.
This consist of three lamps that
make up a synchroscope. The lamps flash with a
frequency of a few Hz (the difference between
the frequency of the network and that of the
generator). When the lamps go dark it gives a
positive indication that the generator is
synchronised with the mains.
The
voltmeter Zero Volmeter also displays the
voltage reading across the lamps and confirms
the synchronized voltages before the user
attempts manual closing of the paralleling
switch. This system has a circuit that will
automatically lock in and protect the
synchronous generator.
Automatic
This mode is designed to automatically
adjust the speed, voltage and phase shifting of
the rotating generator in order to carryout
automatic management of synchronisation and
paralleling between the generator and the mains
supply.
The user can make adjustment
to the parameters of the controller’s PID
control loops, using the control panel
interface.
After successful parallel
synchronization it will be possible to share the
load between the mains and the synchronous
generator.
An outgoing HV bus system
is used to connect the additional power
generation simulator module to the other
simulator units. The unit has two circuit
breakers, one for the protection of the
medium-voltage windings of the transformer and
one for the protection of the high-voltage
windings of the transformer.
The
module is equipped with two digital
multifunction 3-phase instruments for measuring
voltage, current, active power, reactive power
and harmonics. These have both numerical and
graphical display options.
The unit
is supplied in a steel mobile cabinet with a
durable powder coated finish with two lockable
doors on the storage area. It includes all power
connection points, cables and accessories.
Dimensions:
H:1,970mm x W:1,000mm x D:750mm - with 100mm
width work surface.
