Installation & wiring
Installation
35 DIN rail or two 4mm (3/16")screws
Input
The two supplies should be connected to terminals 1-3 /5-7 or 2-3 /6-7 according to the
voltage (see Fig.1. connection diagram).
Both supplies should remain disconnected until the function of the unit is needed, as
shown in the connection diagram of the unit .
Be careful that correct terminals are connected.
Internal PT would be burned if your connect 1-2 or 5-6.
Adjustment
An adjustoment ∆Φvoltage ±10%is normally recommended,
but for small high speed engines a setting of up to ±15% can be used.
The ±15% setting will give a faster synchronization than the ±10%setting.
Synchro output relay
When commissioning,it is recommended to disconnect the closing signal (terminals 9 or 10).
Check that the red LED “RELAY ” indicates the closing signal,, when the two systems
(generator and busbar)are in phase accordance.
If this happens in 180 ° phase displacement, the wires to terminals 1 or 2 and 3 must be
interchanged.

Application
Synchronizing check relay, also known as paralling relay is mainly used to ensure that two AC
supplies are synchronized. For a system to be synchronized, voltage, phase angle and
frequency have to be within predefined limits.
T5000 can monitor either mains bus bar and incoming generator, or two generators
The T5000 is a part of the SELCO T-Line series with modular units for protection, control and
monitoring of generators, both in marine and land-based [Link] T5000 is type
approved by major marine classification societies.
Generator to Bus
The T5000 Relay can be used as a check synchronizer,inhibiting closure of circuit breaker if
synchronizing parameters such as voltage, frequency and phase angle are outside limits,thus
preventing generator damage and disturbance to the busbar.
The T5000 can also be used as synchronizing aid for manual or automatic synchronization
where voltage and frequency are adjusted by the operator to roughly the values required,and
the unit will provide a closing signal to the circuit breaker at phase accordance.
Function
Synchroout relay
A built-in relay will close when voltage, frequency and phase are within limits. The relay output
can be connected in series with a manually operated contact to operate the circuit breaker
between the 2 systems,e.g.a generator to a busbar.
The output relay is activated all the time during phase ccordance. However,the T5000 will
always give an output pulse with a minimum duration of 0.5 seconds, meaning there will be
enough time for the circuit breaker to close.
voltage adjustment (∆U,scale 10-15%)
It is provided on the front of the unit for combined adjustments of limits for voltage
difference,frequency difference and phase [Link] limits are internally related to
obtain optimal and safe operational performance.
∆Φ & ∆F on minimum ∆U ±10% position
With the scale adjusted to the minimum position,the voltage difference (∆U) is ±10%. This
corresponds to a phase difference (∆Φ)of ±6 ° and a frequency difference ∆F ) of
±[Link] numbers are internally inverse related in such a way that a larger voltage
difference (∆U), will allow only reduced phase difference (∆Φ) and frequency difference (∆F ).
∆Φ & ∆F on maximum ∆U ±15% position
With the scale adjusted to the maximum position,the voltage difference (∆U) is ±15%. This
corresponds to a phase difference (∆Φ)of ±9 ° and a frequency difference (∆F) of
±[Link] above, these numbers are internally inverse related.
LED
A red LED marked “RELAY ” on the front of the unit indicates that the output relay is activated.

Automatic closure
In order to use the T5000 with automatic closure ,terminals 19 and 20 should be
interconnected,and the T5000 will now operate as illustrated in fig.2.
This figure shows the closing phase difference (∆Φ) as a function of frequency difference
(∆F), assuming that there is no voltage difference present and that th (∆V) voltage setting is
±10%.
For a very smal ∆F, it is seen that the ∆Φ is 6 °.
For higher values ∆F, the ∆Φ will vary as shown.
The line I shows the closing signal directly from the T5000.
The line II shows the main contact closure with an additional circuit breaker operation time of
50 msec.
At a low ∆F,the phase difference will change very slowly and the additional 50 msec. have
almost no effect on the difference between the two curves. At a higher ∆F, the phase
differencewill change faster,and thus the difference between the two curves becomes larger.
However,the curves also show that the phase difference at breaker closure will not exceed ±
6 °, provided the circuit breaker is a fast operating type (operating time 50 [Link] less).
