8.2 Understand the general operation
1. When there is mains power: simply power goes through the generator to the
switchboard in the house:
GENERATOR AT REST
2. If there is a power failure: 220V mains power no longer reaches the generator,
then the generator detects the lack of voltage and performs two steps:
A: It changes the generator's transfer contactor allowing the energy
passage from the generator and annulling the mains power line (thereby
ensure that when the mains energy returns, it will not supply energy at the
same time with the energy supplied by the generator.
B: It initiates the generator's startup operation. Once the generator is
started the power is restored in the house switchboard.
GENERATOR RUNNING
3. Return of mains power: When the generator detects the mains power return, it
performs two steps:
A: The generator's internal contactor cuts off the generator's supply and
allows the passage of the mains line power.
B: The generator turns off automatically
