Generator Control
Basic
T4500 SERIES
Auto Synchronizer for Conventional Governors
Description
The T4500 Auto Synchronizer provides automatic
synchronization of a generator to a busbar in a minimum of
time, by controlling the speed via the electric servomotor
on a conventional speed governor, or by controlling an
electronic speed controller via an intermediate motorized
potentiometer. A unique feature of the T4500 is the
possibility of simultaneous synchronization of already
parallel running generators to another busbar section, a
shaft generator or the grid. The T4500 includes outputs for
controlling the Automatic Voltage Regulator (AVR) as well.
When used, T4500 will not only control the speed of the
generator, but also the alternator voltage (Voltage Matching).
