Application
The T4000 Auto Synchronizer provides
automatic synchronization of an
incoming generator to a busbar in a
minimum of time.
The T4000 operates in connection with
most electronic speed controllers. Via the
speed controller the T4000 controls the
speed and phase of the generator in order
to match it to the busbar. The T4000 will
lock the phase and frequency once accordance is obtained, thus enabling the
generator to stay in synchronisation with
the bus bar without closing the breaker.
Together with the T4400 Load Sharer,
the T4000 provides the optimal solution
for generator control, both in marine
and land-based applications. The T4000
is type approved by major marine
classification societies.
Function
The T4000 measures the voltage across
two phases on either side of the circuit
breaker in order to obtain data on frequency,
phase and voltage difference for closing
the circuit breaker at phase accordance.
The relay LED indicates when within
limits and a jumper between terminals
12 and 13 (CLOSE ENABLE) will enable
the closing contact CLOSE (terminals 9
and 10). The closing signal is maintained
for a minimum duration of 0.5 seconds.
When commissioning, it is recommended to
disconnect the closing signal by opening
the jumper between terminals 12 and 13.
Check that the closing signal indicated on
the relay LED is at phase accordance.
The DC control signal to the speed
controller must be reset when the circuit
breaker is closed. A jumper between
terminals 12 and 15 (AUTO RESET)
gives delayed automatic reset.
Alternatively a normally closed auxiliary
circuit breaker contact, connected to
terminals 12 and 14 (OPEN TO RESET),
ELECTRONIC GOVERNOR
gives remote reset when the contact is
opened. Reset is also obtained if the bus
or generator voltage drops below
approximately 50% of nominal voltage.
Impedance adaption of the output
(OUTPUT TO GOV.) to individual
electronic speed controllers can be done
using terminals 23 to 26. Output on
terminal 22 is variable (adjustable by a
screwdriver at VARIABLE OUT 22).
Alternatively, other impedance values can
be obtained by connecting an external
resistor between terminals 21 and 27.
The resistance is selected so that a speed
deviation range of ±3 Hz is possible.
The stability is adjusted on the dial
STABILITY for the fastest phase accordance which does not cause overshoot.

The limits for the closing signal are
adjustable on the dial PHASE ANGLE.
The phase can be adjusted between ±6°
and ±9°, and voltage difference between
±10 % and ±15%. When the difference
in voltage, phase and frequency are
within limit for 0.5 seconds, a closing
signal to the circuit breaker is generated,
provided that CLOSE ENABLE is activated (terminals 12 and 13 interconnected).

Connection between terminals 17 and
18 (FORW.) will control the output to a
positive voltage for increasing
frequency. A connection between
terminals 18 and 19 (INV.) will give negative voltage for increasing frequency.
