•
Using BESTCOMS, set the SCL high limit to 50% greater than the metered current. .......... ________
•
Using BESTCOMS set the SCL high limit time delay at 5 seconds. ..................................... ________
•
Enable stator current limiting. ................................................................................................ ________
•
Perform a step response into the SCL limit. .......................................................................... ________
•
Verify stable performance and speed of response. .............................................................. ________
•
Repeat with unit supplying 30% load at 0.8 leading PF in Droop mode. .............................. ________
If the response time is too slow, increase the SCL gain (Ki and Kg) and repeat the test.
•
Verify stable performance of the SCL by testing the machine from 25% through 100%
real-power loading, underexcited. ......................................................................................... ________
•
Increase the excitation above the UEL limit. ......................................................................... ________

Enter the final, operating UEL values. ................................................................................... ________
Var Test (If Applicable)
•
Verify that Var mode is nulled to AVR. .................................................................................. ________
•
Verify that all null status indicators indicate a null condition. ................................................ ________
•
Verify that the Var pre-position mode is disabled or the external pre-position contacts
are open. ................................................................................................................................ ________
In the following step, be prepared to transfer back to AVR mode if the excitation voltage increases
suddenly.
•
Transfer to Var. ...................................................................................................................... ________
•
Set kW for 25% output. .......................................................................................................... ________
•
Adjust vars to 30% of rated. .................................................................................................. ________
Monitor the field voltage to determine performance of the following step.
•
Using BESTCOMS, perform a 5% step response stability test. ............................................ ________
•
If necessary, increase the var gain (Ki and Kg) to quicken the response and repeat the
test. ........................................................................................................................................ ________
Power Factor Test (If Applicable)
•
Verify that PF mode is nulled to Var mode. ........................................................................... ________
•
Verify that all null status indicators indicate a null condition. ................................................ ________
•
Verify that the PF pre-position mode is disabled or the external pre-position contacts
are open. ................................................................................................................................ ________
In the following step, be prepared to transfer back to PF mode if the excitation voltage increases
suddenly.
•
Transfer to PF. ....................................................................................................................... ________
•
Adjust the power factor for 0.9 lagging. ................................................................................. ________
•
Perform a step response by changing the PF setpoint to 0.85 lagging to determine
stability. .................................................................................................................................. ________
•
If necessary, increase the PF gain (Ki and Kg) to quicken the response and repeat the
test. ........................................................................................................................................ ________
