1 Preface
The Littelfuse Selco C6200 FlexGen provides integrated generator protection, frequency stabilization, voltage stabilization, check and automatic synchronisation, voltage matching, active and reactive load sharing, basic and programmable I/O and data acquisition.
The Littelfuse Selco C6200 FlexGen can operate in parallel with other C6200 FlexGen modules and interface with the C6500 User Interface Module via the on-board RS232 interface. SCADA and HMI systems can be connected via the RS485 MODBUS interface.

3 Installation
The C6200 FlexGen must be secured to the rear of the switch board using four 5 mm. screws. DIN rail mounting is not advisable due to the weight.
Please ensure that enough space is given around the module so that the plug-in terminals can be removed and reinserted without stressing the wires. The length of the cables should allow for the easy removal and insertion.

4 Isolation and Grounding
In marine installations ground (switchboard chassis) and common reference (COM) should not be connected together. In a marine installation the vessels hull is considered as “ground”.
Connecting any of the COM connections on the C6200 FlexGen to ground (hull) or switchboard chassis may cause electrical noise to be injected into the system.
The general rule is:
COM terminals should not be connected to ground (vessels hull) or to the switchboard chassis.
Negative poles of the power supplies should not be connected to ground (vessels hull) or to the switchboard chassis.

5 Connections
The C6200 FlexGen is wired up through plug-in terminals. The plug-in terminals provide safe and durable connections without sacrificing ease of installation and servicing. One exception is the inputs for the currect transformers, which are fixed terminals to avoid shock from accidental disconnection of live current inputs.
5.1 Power Supply
The circuitry of the the C6200 FlexGen must be powered by a single external power supply. The supply must provide a nominal voltage of +24 V DC. The C6200 FlexGen will tolerate relatively wide variations in the supply voltage (please refer to the specifications). The supply is connected to terminal 30 and 32 of the AUX SUPPLY plug-in connector.

The auxiliary power supply is not isolated from the remaining circuitry. This means that the supply reference terminal (terminal 32) has connection to the modules COM terminal.
The front AUX SUPPLY LED illuminates with a steady green light to indicate that the supply voltage is OK and within the tolerated limits for safe operation.
Page 8

Revision: 03-06-2014 Page 8 of 24
External switching of the supply (e.g. to power the units on and off) should be done by making or braking positive supply (terminal 30). Do not use terminal 32 to make and break the supply.
5.2 Voltage Inputs
The AC voltages connect to the BUS BAR VOLTAGE and GENERATOR VOLTAGE plug-in terminals.
The voltage inputs can operate with high voltage (up to 690 V AC nominal), so precaution must be taken to avoid electrical shock and personal injury. Do not touch the voltage input plug-in terminal unless you are absolutely sure that both the busbar and generator is off. The generator should be stopped and blocked against starting – the busbar should be dead. Also make sure that there is no risk of another power source being connected to the busbar while you are working with the voltage inputs.
Voltages above 690 V AC are supported through use of external transformers (PT). When using PTs please ensure that the PT does not affect the phase of the AC voltage measurement. Phase shift in the PT will directly affect the calculation of power factor, and thereby the calculation of active and reactive currents and loads.
The phases L1, L2 and L3 of the busbar and generator voltage must be connected to L1, L2 and L3 of the busbar/generator voltage input plug-in terminals. Intermediate 2 A slow-blow fuses should be inserted between the individual phases and the related voltage inputs.
Page 9

Revision: 03-06-2014 Page 9 of 24
It is important that the phases are connected in the correct order (correct phase sequence). Interchanging the phases will result in an incorrect power factor calculation and thereby incorrect calculation of active/reactive currents and loads. It is important that the phases are connected to the corresponding terminals (phase 1 to L1, phase 2 to L2 and phase 3 to L3).

The BUSBAR VOLTAGE LED shows (by steady light) whether the voltage levels measured between the phases are within limits. The reference is the nominal phase-phase voltage (NOMVOLT) that has been entered in the configuration. The toleance is defined by the voltage OK window (VOLTOKWND) also present in the configuration.
The same scheme applies to the GENERATOR VOLTAGE LED. However, on older versions of the C6200 FlexGen the LED will also flash while the generator breaker is open. This depends on the firmware revision.

5.3 Current Inputs
The C6200 FlexGen measures current through external current transformers (CTs). The C6200 FlexGen supports 5 A CTs. Class 1 CTs for protection is recommended. The CTs can be shared with third-party equipment provided that this equipmed due not place a burden on the CTs (that the CT inputs are isolated by e.g. transformers inside the third-party equipment).
The CT ratio should cover the maximum current of the generator.
The CTs must be capable of coping with limited time short-circuit currents without going into saturation (Protection Transformers).
The external CTs connect to the GENERATOR CURRENT terminals. It is important to ensure that the direction of the current flow is correct. The current flow is usually indicated by S1 and S2 notations on the CT enclosure. S1 of the CT on phase 1 connects to terminal 9 and S2 connects to terminal 10.

Make sure that the secondary side of the CT is shorted (make a connection between S1 and S2) before you disconnect the CT cables from the GENERATOR CURRENT terminals.
Please note that incorrect connection of the current transformers (e.g. by reversing the terminals S1 and S2) will result in wrong current, power and power factor readings.
Correct measurement of the current is extremely important. The C6200 FlexGen relies upon the current measurements for the calculation of power factors, active currents and loads, reactive currents and loads, integrated protection functions and load sharing.

5.4 Programmable Inputs
The programmable input connector provides a number of digital inputs. The digital inputs work with negative reference (COM), meaning the inputs are considered active when they are connected to minus supply, and inactive when left open (disconnected). The inputs are used for external activations of various programmable features. The functions are described in the C6200 FlexGen Configuration Manual.

5.5 Analogue Inputs
The analogue inputs are used for external control of voltage, frequency and load. For example, the analogue inputs can be used when two busbar sections are to be synchronized together or when the gerator is to be synchronized to an incoming sharft generator (or the grid). The analogue inputs can also be used in case the load of the generator needs to be remotely controlled e.g. in grid paralleling application.
5.5.1 Voltage Input
The voltage input (terminal 24) is an analogue input. The input can be used for external control of the generator voltage, provided that the F/V CTRL. DISABLE input has been activated (connected to COM) or a grid parallel operation scheme is activated. The analogue control signal must be a voltage between 0 and +5 V DC. The voltage input uses the COM terminal as reference. When not used its is recommended that the voltage input is connected to COM. This is especially important if the F/V CTRL. DISABLE input is made active while no signal is provided to the voltage input.

Ground loops happen when multiple COM connections between modules (e.g. parallel operating C6200 units) exist. Ground loops can be avoid by only using terminal 32 as the common connection point for all COM connections.
5.5.2 Frequency Input
Like thr voltage input, the frequency input is an analogue input. The input can be used for external control of the generator frequency, provided that the F/V CTRL. DISABLE input is active (connected to COM) or a grid parallel operation scheme is activated. The analogue control signal must be a voltage between 0 and +5 V DC. The frequency input uses the COM terminal as reference. When not used its is recommended that the frequency input is connected to COM. This is especially important if the F/V CTRL. DISABLE input is made active while no signal is provided to the frequency input.

5.6 Parallel Lines
The parallel lines are used for balancing the active and reactive currents/loads between parallel running C6200 FlexGen modules. The signal level of the parallel lines can also be adapted to suit other types of Littelfuse Selco load sharers (e.g. the Littelfuse Selco T4800).

5.7 GOV/AVR Control
Two sets of analogue outputs are provided for the control of speed and voltage. The analogue outputs are intended for direct control of electronic speed governors and AVRs. Each analogue output can be configured to provide either a DC voltage within the range of -10 to +10 V DC, a DC current within the range of 0 to 20 mA or a PWM signal with a default base frequency of 500 Hz.
The analogue outputs are isolated from each other and from the remaining circuitry. This means that the references of the outputs have no connection to each other or to the common reference (COM).

It is important to note that each analogue output is protected against short circuit by an internal 10 kΩ resistor. The resistor is located inside the C6200 and placed in series with the output. The output resistor might affect the magnitude of the output signal if the internal resistance of the external equipment (e.g. the aux speed input of the governor) is low. The principle of voltage division applies between the output resistor and the internal resistance of the external equipment. Most governors and AVRs have high impedeance inputs, so the 10 kΩ resistance will typically not be an issue.
Example: A governor with aux speed input having an internal resistance of only 10 kΩ would reduce a +10 VDC output voltage to +5 VDC. The two 10 kΩ resistors in series would make a 1:2 voltage divider.

5.8.1 C/B
The C/B input provides feedback from the generator circuit breaker and is used to determine wether the breaker is open or closed. C/B is typically connected to COM through an auxiliary contact of the breaker. The breaker is considered closed when the C/B input is at COM level.
Please note that the C/B input is very important to the function of the C6200 FlexGen. The C/B input is used (together with the state af the voltage inputs) to determine the operational situation of the system.
5.8.2 Manual
Activating the manual input will prevent the C6200 FlexGen from interfering with the speed and voltage controls of the generator, unless it gets a command to do so via the programmable inputs (terminals 15 to 22). The manual input is active when at COM level and inactive if left disconnected.
5.8.3 Unload
The UNLOAD input is used to initiate a controlled unload of the generator whereafter the C6200 FlexGen will issue a trip signal to the breaker. Unload starts when the signal is put to COM level. Disconnecting the unload signal during operation will causes reload and/or reconnection of the generator.
5.8.4 Reset
Reset Alarm is used to reset the alarm relay. Reset Alarm is active when the input is at COM level.
5.8.5 F/V Ctrl. Disable
The F/V CTRL. DISABLE input is used to deactivate the voltage and frequency stabilization. This input is considered active when the input is connected to COM level, and inactive when disconnected. The signal is typically used when the generator is operated in parallel with a shaft generator or the grid (power sources that determine the voltage and frequency). Other applications are where the voltage and frequency is controlled by third-party equipment (through the voltage and frequency analogue inputs on terminals 25 and 26).

5.8.6 Dead Bus lock
The dead bus lock signal is used to prevent more than one generator from connect simultaneously to a dead bus bar (e.g. in a blackout situation).
The Dead Bus Lock signal (terminal 46) must be interconnected between all C6200 FlexGen modules that operates generator connecting to the same busbar.

It is important to note that each analogue output is protected against short-circuit by an internal 10 kΩ resistor. Resistors are placed in series on the output terminal. The output resistor might affect the magnitude of the output signal if the internal resistance of the driven equipment is low. The principle of voltage division applies between the output resistor and the internal resistance of the driven equipment. Example: equipment with an internal resistance of only 10 kΩ would reduce a +10 VDC output voltage to +5 VDC. The two 10 kΩ resistors in series would make a 1:2 voltage divider.
5.12 Alarm
The alarm relay includes two contact sets. The alarm relays can only operate as normally energized relays. This is to ensure that the alarm relay will trip in case the supplies fail.
The alarm relay can also be configured to trip on a protection fault.

Reference of the RS485 bus
It is important to note that the RS485 reference is isolated from the common COM of the module.
The 3-wire RS485 bus is connected from module to module.
A RS485 bus needs termination resistance (150 Ω) between terminals A and B at end end of the cable. It is not necessary to connect external termination resistors as the C6200 FlexGen contains internal resistors that can be enabled by toggeling DIP switch 5 to ON position. The termination resistor must be enabled only on the first and on the last unit on the RS485 bus.
The maximum cable length for RS485 is 1.000 meters. The cable must be twisted pair (A and B twisted inside the cable). The cable should be shielded. One end of the shield (and only one end) nust be connected to switchboard chassis.
Cri abT Cable KB81P1E-DEXN/BT can be used
It is sometimes necessary to fix the potential of the RS485 + and – lines due to interference from other sources. This is done with two 1 kΩ resistors using a technique called “Biasing”. One resistor is fixed between RS485 B and an external +5 V DC supply, the other is fixed between RS485 A and the reference of the -5 V DC supply. The reference of the 24 VDC (terminal 32) supply must then be connected to rightmost terminal of the RS485 plug on each and every module.

5.14 CAN bus
The CAN bus is used in connection with the load dending start/stop features of the C6200 FlexGen.
The CANbus terminals are located on the front plate in the right side. The terminals are module standard used in Data communication equipment. Therefore, use standard twisted pair patch cable for CANbus wiring. The maximum cable length is 40 meters. The cable type should be 0.25 - 0.34 mm2(AWG23/AWG22). Cable resistance should be less than 26 mΩ per meter.
The first and the last module on the CANbus need a termination resistor (150 Ω) between lines A and B. It is not necessary to connect external resistors. The C6200 FlexGen contains internal end of line resistors for the CAN bus that can be activated by toggeling DIP switch 6 to ON position. Therefore, on the first and on the last unit on the CAN bus, DIP switch 6 has to ON. Every C6200 FlexGen module must be connected to the same CAN bus network. Third party CAN nodes may not be connected to the FLEXGEN CAN bus.
