Application

The Generator Protection Unit (GPU-3 Hydro) is a compact microprocessor-based 

protection unit containing all necessary functions for protection of a hydro turbine

driven synchronous/asynchronous generator. It contains all necessary

galvanically separated 3-phase measuring circuits.

The GPU-3 Hydro is well-suited for PLC-controlled systems, and the interfacing can

be done via digital and analogue I/Os or via serial communication.

Display unit

The display unit is separate and can be installed directly on the main unit or in the

front of the switchboard door (3 m display cable included). Up to two additional

displays can be installed within 200 m. The display unit shows all measured and

calculated values as well as alarms and data from the event log.

Self-test

The GPU-3 Hydro automatically carries out a cyclical self-test at start-up.

If any errors are found, they will be displayed in clear text in the display and 

indicated with a relay output (status output).

M-Logic (Micro PLC)

This configuration tool is part of the PC utility software which is free of charge.

With this tool, it is possible to customise the application to your needs.

It is possible to dedicate specific functions or logical conditions to different inputs and outputs.

Easy to operate and configure, DEIF’s Generator protection unit (GPU-3 hydro)

is an ideal controller for PLC-based hydro power systems.

The GPU-3 hydro offers comprehensive generator protection and synchronisation.

Serial communication enables easy interfacing with PLCs, SCADA systems and more,

and the unit features all necessary 3-phase measuring circuits and displays all

values and alarms on a quality LCD screen.

For start/stop and protection functionalities, add the GPU-3 hydro turbine control option,

a turbine interface card with separate power supply and independent microprocessor.

In cases of GPU-3 hydro main processor failure, the engine interface card will activate

its back- p mode to ensure uninterrupted turbine supervision and automatic turbine

shutdown in case of shutdown alarm.

With free software download and upgrade at www.deif. com, it is possible to customise

the application to suit your needs exactly: dedicate specific functions or logic conditions

to different inputs and outputs and tune all sequences according to your requirements.

DEIF’s differential current relay RMC-131D protects the generator against

short circuits and leakage currents in the windings of the generator.

The relay compares the differential current of each of the three phases,

providing an RMS measurement at sinusoidal currents.

In order to obtain a short response time on a fault condition,

the measurement is based on peak values.

The versatile units feature a number of adjustable parameters.

RMC-131D is part of DEIF’s complete range of relays for protection and

control of generators.

of up to 150 historical events/alarms. The unit’s integrated LCD screen displays

all measured and calculated values, eliminating the need for additional meters

or wiring, and facilitates fault-finding in connection with commissioning

identifying fault locations.

Flexible blackout prevention options

Designed for flexibility and efficient blackout prevention, the AGC 150 ATS includes an

Overlap feature that prevents blackouts during source switching by keeping the breakers

of both sources closed for a user-defined period and enabling short-time paralleling.

You can prioritise sources using parameters or digital inputs, offline or online, and you

can prioritise one of the connected sources, let the controller prioritise a source randomly,

or prioritise both in a three-breaker setup.

Two or three breakers supported

The AGC 150 ATS can control two or three breakers, allowing you to open and close a bus

tie breaker between the two power sources if needed. The controller can therefore be

configured for use in virtually any ATS application, anywhere in the world, including

the use of two sources simultaneously.

Easy setup and operation

You can easily configure the AGC 150 ATS for your application by adjusting its built-in

parameters or by using the M-Logic feature in DEIF’s free USW-3 utility software.

The sunlight readable LCD provides easy setup and quick access to important information.

On-screen text can be displayed in 8 languages, and the illuminated buttons smoothly

guide the operator and make the controller very easy and intuitive to operate.

Streamline power transfer with DEIF’s AGC 150 ATS controller

Ideal for emergency power applications with any power source, the AGC 150 ATS

is a robust, flexible, and user-friendly ATS controller that can operate up to three breakers.

The AGC 150 ATS is a dedicated automatic transfer switch (ATS) controller capable

of handling any type of power source. Its flexible setup options let you use it in a

wide range of emergency power solutions by controlling up to three breakers.

The IP65 certified front-mounted controller is easy to install, set up, and use.

Any power source in Source-Source mode

In addition to Generator-Mains mode (operating the ATS to switch between a mains

incomer and a genset), the AGC 150 ATS can operate in Source-Source mode,

accepting any kind of power source (for example two mains incomers, or a combination

of mains or a genset with a battery energy storage system or a renewable power source).

The controller can send start and stop signals to both sources.

Many operating options

The AGC 150 ATS uses automatic mains failure (AMF) logic and control signals defined

by the controller’s input/output settings to operate the ATS. For example, it can monitor

a mains source for voltage, frequency, and voltage anomalies, switching to the secondary

source in case of issues (after sending a start signal and checking that the voltage from

the secondary source is within the defined limits, if needed).
