closed when the phase angle between the two sources is at 0 degrees. This calculation takes into
account the slip rate, generator breaker closing time, and the phase angle difference.
In order to minimize the effects of I/O communications delays on synchronization, it is recommended that
local I/O on the DGC-2020, rather than remote I/O on the CEM-2020, be used for generator breaker open
and close commands, generator breaker status, voltage raise and lower contacts, and speed raise and
lower contacts.
