Sturdy and Reliable SynchronisationThis synchroscope is purpose-built for frequent use in power stations and industrial panels, featuring a durable ABS plastic housing and secure flush/panel mounting. Its aluminium pointer and clear white dial ensure accurate readings while the IP20 rating provides basic protection, making it ideal for controlled indoor environments.
Accurate, Immediate IndicationWith 2% accuracy and immediate mechanical response, this device offers precise phase matching between incoming generators and the busbar. Its analog scale divisions and clear FAST, SLOW, and IN PHASE markings help operators achieve swift and reliable synchronisation.
User-Friendly Installation and OperationDesigned for standard 96mm x 96mm panel cutouts, this synchroscope features screw terminal connections for simple setup. It readily interfaces with the generator and busbar via two analog inputs, providing a direct visual indication for synchronising operations.
FAQs of Synchroscope:
Q: How does the synchroscope indicate correct synchronisation between two power sources?
A: The synchroscope displays pointer deflection across a clear scale marked FAST, SLOW, and IN PHASE. When the pointer settles in the IN PHASE region, it signals that both generator and busbar voltages are in synchrony and can be safely paralleled.
Q: What are the power and input requirements for this device?
A: It operates on a mains AC supply with selectable rated voltage of 110V or 230V, and accepts two analog inputs: one from the incoming generator and one from the busbar. The device is compatible with current ratings of 5A or 10A AC at 50Hz or 60Hz frequency.
Q: When should I use a synchroscope in my electrical setup?
A: A synchroscope is used when synchronising a generator to an existing power supply, such as a main busbar. It should be used during generator start-up or reconnection to ensure phase alignment, frequency, and voltage match before closing the breaker.
Q: Where should this synchroscope be installed for optimal use?
A: The instrument is designed for flush or panel mounting in control rooms, switchboards, and electrical panels, generally at places where operators can easily observe synchronisation procedures for safe generator integration.
Q: What is the process for connecting the synchroscope to the system?
A: Connect the synchroscopes two input terminals: one to the generator output and the other to the busbar. Use the screw terminals on the terminal block and ensure secure connections, following panel wiring best practices. The device then operates automatically during synchronisation.
Q: What are the main benefits of using an analog synchroscope?
A: Analog synchroscopes like this provide real-time, easily interpretable visual feedback for phase synchronisation. Their immediate response and straightforward display assist operators in making quick decisions, enhancing operational safety and system reliability.
