Overcurrent Protection

Two sets of overcurrent settings are provided: one for three-phase generator connections and one for
single-phase generator connections. The pickup setting entered is based on the CT secondary side
(DGC-2020). When a single-phase override contact input is received by the DGC-2020, the overcurrent
protection settings automatically switch from the three-phase settings to the single-phase overcurrent
protection settings.

When any of the phase currents increase above the pickup setting

A

for the duration of the overcurrent

time delay, an overcurrent condition is annunciated. An overcurrent annunciation can be user-selected to
trigger a pre-alarm

B

(warning) or alarm

B

(shutdown). An overcurrent annunciation can also be user-

configured to close a programmable output.

The overcurrent time delay is controlled by a time dial setting

C

and a curve setting

D

. The curve setting can

be set at F (fixed) or one of 16 inverse time characteristic curves can be selected. When the fixed curve
setting is selected, the time dial setting determines the overcurrent time delay with no regard to the
generator current level. When one of the inverse time characteristic curves is selected, the time dial
setting, along with the level of measured generator current, determines the overcurrent time delay. As
overcurrent protection settings are entered in BESTCOMSPlus, a plot

E

of the settings is automatically

created to illustrate the overcurrent pickup curve. The available time characteristic curves are listed below
and illustrated in Appendix A, Time Overcurrent Characteristic Curves.

A low-line scale factor setting

F

is used to automatically adjust the overcurrent pickup settings in

applications that may utilize more than one type of genset connections. The scale factor setting is
implemented when the DGC-2020 senses a contact closure at a contact input programmed to activate
scaling of the protection settings. The value of the scale factor setting serves as a multiplier for the pickup
