Synchroscope
Description
The M8100 Synchroscope provides illuminated indication of
the phase and frequency difference between voltages on
two separate AC systems, e.g. a generator and a busbar. The
M8100 will also indicate whether or not the two systems are
on voltage.
The M8100 is also available in a version with a built-in relay
for automatic closure of the circuit breaker (Synchro Check
Relay). The voltage and frequency are adjusted by the
operator to roughly match the values required, and the unit
will provide a closing signal to the circuit breaker at phase
accordance.
