I. General Instruction
PGH-2 excitation controller is one key start, full automatic excitation control, no need operator running.
-  IGBT excitation control technology solved the problem that silicon controlled excitation is easy to be interfered by high frequency and middle frequency, and instability in low excitation voltage. IGBT (Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistor) excitation control technology is the most advanced DC current control technology. only a few manufacturer in China control this technology and applies it to advanced excitation control system (high voltage excitation control system), the reason is high technology requirement and high manufacture cost. We are the first to use IGBT technology to brushless excitation generator excitation control.
-  There are several version after this type controller was initially launched in 2009.
- The latest 201606 version of GDF series controller solve or rectified the know faults in old version, especially the problem of lose control caused by generator output breaker position contact fault, or electromagnet interference.

1. Controller internal setting:
The password for internal setting protection is 341341
-  press and hold for 3 seconds to enter parameter setting, input password: 341341 when "internal setting" lamp flashes.
it is agreed "parameter" is 1, "increase" is 2 , "decrease" is 3 , "change over" is 4.(password enter: press these button in sequence: "decrease", "change over", "parameter", "decrease", "change over", "parameter")
- after entering the parameter set, the nixietube  flash to show parameter label or sequence number, the other position display parameter content.
- parameter 6: Current Transformer conversion ratio (for example, if generator current transformer is 400A/5A, the value is 80).enter 80 into parameter 6
- Parameter 6b: generator rated current vs current transformer prime rated current in percentage.(for example: if generator rated current is 288A, current transformer prime rated current is 400A, then percentage is 72%)enter 72 into parameter 6b.
- the following parameter setting is labeled as internal parameters, because of importance, it is not suggested to change the internal parameter to avoid the controller goes wrong.
-  if no-action for 8 seconds, the setting automatically exit,(or press and hold "parameter" button for 2 seconds) and all changes are save.
2. Excitation controller test on site:
-  after checking all wiring correct, the test can be conducted.
- the generator remains in stand still state, check the controller connected Grid voltage.
-  use the multimeter to measure the Grid A-N, B-N phase voltage, they should be in correct range, turn the "status switch" to "test" position, the controller now shows the control voltage in test, there is excitation voltage and current output.
-  press "increase" or "decrease" button to change excitation voltage.
-  reduce the excitation voltage to minimum.
- increase the generator speed to rated speed, press "increase" button, excitation voltage and current increase gradually, generator voltage slowly increase to rated value 380V. When frequency is 50Hz, turn "Change over" button, to check the control voltage (control voltage lamp on), and noted down this control voltage value.
-  input the password to enter internal parameter setting, and change parameter 2 value as the noted control voltage.
(for example: if the control voltage is 1.8, change parameter 2 as 1.8, method see parameter table, generator start over voltage setting)
- after on site test, turn the "status switch" to "running" position.
- if above steps can not control the excitation voltage and current, please check the wiring and the input voltage with reference to the wiring drawing.

V. Generator first start up operation
1. turn "status switch" to "running" position.
2. start the generator and increase to rated speed, push the "start up" button, generator build up voltage. if the excitation is not successful, please turn to "Test" position to check the parameter 2, to avoid the parameter 2 setting value is too low or too high, which causing the failure.
3. excitation controller put into operation, automatically adjust the generator voltage to track the Grid voltage. if there is no Grid voltage, the controller will adjust voltage to 400V automatically.
4. Excitation controller first synchronizing operation
-  if all parameter setting is correct, the generator is ready for synchronizing operation.
-  the controller connected to Grid need to pay attention to identify the current and voltage wiring (voltage and current terminal) should be correct.
-  if the power factor wiring is correct, the excitation controller adjust the power factor automatically when the active load increase, and Grid indication lamp is on.
-  if the power factor wiring is wrong, the generator current might go out of control. should stop the generator and inter-change the current wiring or check the wiring.
5. Excitation control in normal operation
-  increase the generator load after synchronizing, when the stator is more than 10%, excitation controller will automatically control the excitation to keep constant power factor according to the active load change, according to the set power factor value. no need human adjusting.
-  if need to change the power factor manually, push the "increase" and "decrease" button. The new power factor value will be saved and operation will be according this new value. It is suggested to make this adjustment when taking up 50% rated active load. If the generator stator current has reached rated value, the controller will not allow increase and decrease operation, thus to prevent wrong operation leads to generator over current or power factor leading.

1. 6. Shut down Operation

-  when shut down the generator, only reduce the active load gradually, the excitation output will automatically reduce.
when the load reduce to generator stator current be 0 or near 0, the generator will disconnect and breaker trips off.
-  after the generator disconnect, if the rotation speed drop to set frequency value, the controller will automatically de-excite.
VI. Faulty trouble shooting

1. 1. De-excitation

   emergency de-excitation, directly cut off the excitation power on the panel. in normal accident, if the generator trip off and stop, generator frequency reduces to set frequency value, automatic de-excits.

1. 2. in case of excitation circuit fault (check the switch, breaker status first)

press excitation "start up" button, no reaction, generator voltage build up failed.
possible reason:
(1) the fuse in the controller burns or the power supply breaker is not closed.
(2) "status switch" position is wrong
(3) generator loss magnet or remaining voltage is too low. in case generator lose magnet, please turn the "status switch" to test position, and press "start up" to excite, when the generator voltage build up, quickly turn the  "status switch" to "running" position.
(4) the "start up" button contact is not well contacted.
(5) if the generator has a neutral knife switch, the test should be done with the switch closed.
3. Controller wiring problem, lose control, current quickly increase un-normally.
  Possible reason: (1) wiring error.
in the first run, if the controller lose control or can not automatically track the power factor, please check the voltage wiring and current wiring are correctly done, by turning the "status switch" to check and contrast the Grid voltage and generator voltage. if the phase position is correct, the generator voltage is higher than the Grid voltage (by about 5V to 15V), this means the terminal phase position is correct. if the generator voltage is lower than the Grid voltage, it means the phase position is wrong.
 (2) after synchronizing, the controller can not automatically track the power factor.
after synchronizing, increase the active load first, when then active current is low, the controller can not accurately calculate and adjust the position, when the controller is in accurate calculation and automatic adjustment, the "Grid indication" lamp is on.
(3) after synchronizing, lose control when increase the active load.
fault description: power factor is in leading area (pointer is at less than 1 position) possible reason: generator is running overload. solution: reduce generator load. When the generator stator current reaches rated value, the controller automatically reduce power factor, push "increase" and "decrease" button but no use, this is a set function of the controller. if need to change the power factor, reduce the active load to half rated value, the controller will be unlocked, then power factor adjustment can be done.
VII. IGBT excitation controller use note:
1. It is prohibited to use external power (rectified) to charge the generator magnet directly. If need to charge the generator magnet with external power, an isolation transformer must be connected and then rectified.
2. It is prohibited to short circuit the controller excitation output terminal. Short circuit the terminal will cause an instant damage to the IGBT transducer.

VI. Valve and Expansion Joint

1. Provided Main Inlet Valve is D971X-10/DN900 model electric /manual open and close butterfly valve with manual bypass valve and expansion joint for easy installation and dismantle.
See separate documents.
