Benefits with AGC-4

Easy installation with CAN bus

A dedicated J1939 CAN bus connection provides efficient and

exclusive communication between the DVC and the controller.

This makes it possible to, for example, quickly and easily swap

between nominal voltage or frequency settings for a generator.

Avoid genset over-sizing

Use magnetisation boosting or inductive motor starting to limit

the stator current during start-up. This reduces the need to start

multiple gensets when connecting a heavy load, and reduces

genset over-sizing requirements to a minimum.

Protect the genset from humidity

Drying: Condensation on the windings can be removed using the

genset drying mode. During drying mode heat generated from a

controlled short circuit is used to evaporate condensation on the

windings. The genset cannot be connected to the busbar until it is

safe to do so.

Ventilation: Use the genset ventilation mode to prevent

condensation forming on the windings by removing built-up humid

air using the alternator fan. Power generation is postponed until

the humidity levels are safe.

Fast backup for critical power applications

Use run-up synchronisation to start multiple gensets at the same

time while the gensets are connected to the busbar.

Gridcode compliance

The DVC 550 fast reaction speed complies with European

gridcodes. By combining the fast reaction speed with the AGC

controller, it is easy to comply with advanced gridcodes, such as

VDE 4105 and VDE 4110.
