SYN 5100 SYN 520v SYN 5302

Variety of applications Synchronization units are widely used in power stations or industrial installations with their own power generating facilities, where the generators need to be paralleled with an island line or a public line, or in power distribution systems. 

 Power circuit breakers may only be closed if both voltages are at least approximately synchronous (coincident). Otherwise, faults in line operation, loading of the generators and, in extreme cases, damage to the generators can result. 

 SYNCHROTACT® 5 performs these functions safely and reliably, whether as a monitoring element for manual paralleling or as an independent fully-automatic synchronization unit.

Measuring 

 The values voltage difference (amplitude) ΔU, slip (frequency difference) s and phase-angle difference α, which are required for paralleling, are formed from the two measurement signals U1 and U2 (see illustration below). 

 Matching 

 Voltage and frequency matching functions reduce the voltage difference ΔU and slip s by sending adjusting pulses to the voltage or turbine regulators. 

 Monitoring of paralleling conditions 

 This function compares the actual values with their set maximum values and releases paralleling (CHK RELEASE) if all conditions are fulfilled simultaneously.

Difference between SYN 5302 and SYN 5202: The SYN 5202 is a dual-channel system with two differently-structured independent channels in the same casing.   SYN 5302 consists of two SYN 5202 dual-channel devices in one casing. The two systems are normally all wired in series (4 channels!). In the event of failure of one system, it is possible to switch over without danger to the other dual-channel automatic system. This allows paralleling to be carried out fully automatically and with maximum security at all times. Additional costs for a redundant synchronization system are saved. Difference between SYN 5100 and SYN 5200: SYN 5100 offers a parameter set with 5 parameters, the auxiliary voltage range is 50 to 130 VAC or 100 to 125 VDC. SYN 5200 features communications interfaces, seven parameter sets, a wider auxiliary voltage range and the convenient PC tool SynView with all its functions. In addition, because of its command generation, SYN 5200 can also be used as an automatic paralleling unit.
