GCB-2 Control And Protection Module Teaching Equipment Electrical Lab Equipment
This control module contains all the supply and control devices for generator set mod. MGS-1 and enables students to learn and experiment with electric power production and the relevant protection systems, using real industrial components. TRAINING PROGRAM: Training refers to the study of machines for power generationand to control and regulation devices. The range of applicationof these devices is related to both big high-voltage powerplants and small autonomous and/or low-voltage co-generationplants. Main subjects dealt with: • Determination of resistance of the windings of a synchronousmachine • Detection of mechanical losses, iron losses, copper losses,etc… • Determination of efficiency of a synchronous machine • No-load characteristic or magnetization characteristic of analternator • Short circuit characteristic of an alternator • Determination of synchronous impedance • External characteristic of an alternator • Control characteristic for different power factors • V curves of a synchronous motor • Using a synchronous motor as compensator for power factorcorrection
