Mike- Great stuff. Ill verify with the jumper to make sure it reacts correctly. Before I get to far out in front of this I was thinking about something when I was setting up the VR6 regulators on all of these sets that confused me. The set up instructions for the regulator reads " if remote...
IBRCAN, Thanks for the info! I'll definatley look through it. There is a pot on the front of the gear that I can adjust but based on the fact that the other units seem to parallel ok I just never considered it. I'll have to look through the print and verify that the pot is in play when trying...
Hey Mike! Good to hear from you again. I was hoping that you were still here on ENGTIPS. You actually helped me with the last problems I was having with this system. That all is working well. Thanks again for that.
As far as the sycronizer there is only one that is selectable for each set...
Hello All,
Pertinent info; Three 200 KW Cat 3406B's with SR4 gensets(units 1-3). One 150KW 3306B CAt with SR4(unit4) Upgraded VR6 regulators to include upgraded droop cts 5amp. CTs are sized to genset amperage. #4 ct is original cat CT. Waiting on new CT from Flex Core. Will install once...
CATSERV.....After the CT's finally arrived and we installed them. After many hours of studying the Basler material, I decided to give adjusting this a shot. As suggested, I approached each unit individually and added about 50% heavy motor load. Made adjustments. The only problem I had with...
CatServ....I'll be the first to admit that I have zero experience with this in terms of putting a meter and screwdrivers on the reactive load sharing portion of these. In the end, unless you are in Pennsylvania, I will most likely have Caterpillar come in on this and handle the settings. After...
E5fornow....Thanks for the response. The terminology here is a bit difficult to keep up with. In the past week I have had more of an education on parallel droop compensation or reactive droop compensation, crosscurrent compensation or reactive differential compensation than I ever wanted to...
CatServ-Great Stuff. I will sift through all of this and order the CT's. The Nomimal is 480. I am assuming that I will size these for VA and look for 5 amp secondaries. I will make sure that the UF Knee is set. Right now I think we are at 58.5 from what I remember. I will check my notes...
CatServ thanks for the info. I will research baslers site for the info you suggested.
When the VR6's were installed we did not replace the CT's. We used what was on the machine. I recently had the CAT parts guy research based on arrangement number what size the CT's were and he informs me...
thread238-172850: power factor not stable
Hello. I am in need of some advice on an issue we are having with two of three Caterpillar 250Kw units that are paralleled to supply a stand alone floating maintenance barge. The condition we are experiencing is that units #one and #two together run...
