Overvoltage (59)

Six overvoltage protection (59) elements monitor the sensing voltage applied to the DGC-2020HD. An
element can be configured to protect against overvoltage when the phase voltage increases above a
defined level.

The six, identical overvoltage protection elements are designated 59-1, 59-2, 59-3, 59-4, 59-5, and 59-6.
Element logic connections are made on the BESTlogic

Plus screen in BESTCOMSPlus® and element

operational settings are configured on the Overvoltage settings screen in BESTCOMSPlus.

Element Operation

Overvoltage protection can be used to prevent equipment damage when an overvoltage condition exists.

Two sets of overvoltage settings are provided for each element: one for three-phase generator
connections and one for single-phase generator connections. The Pickup setting entered is based on the
PT secondary side (DGC-2020HD). When a single-phase override contact input is received, the DGC-
2020HD automatically switches from the three-phase overvoltage settings to the single-phase overvoltage
settings.

Source

The Source setting configures an overvoltage element to monitor the generator sensing input terminals or
the bus sensing input terminals.
