1.3.9.5 In the Auto synchronization mode, the controller will ensure that the
synchronization parameters like Voltage, phase sequence and frequency of

1.3.9.6 If the load on each DG set is less than 60% (adjustable) of its capacity, one
of the sets will switch off automatically and the load is transferred to the
running set, similarly the load is increase 80% (adjustable) of the running
generator other should be called into operation. This sequence will continue
until balance is attained. On resumption of CEB power at all the locations;
DG sets will switch off after cool down period of 5 minutes. The lead DG
shall be interchangeable automatically depending on the working condition.
1.3.9.7 Automatic DG loading/ unloading for Bump less load transfer: Soft loading

sharing among DG sets.
1.4.1. The plant shall be tested at the supplier's premises, in accordance with BS 5514
Parts 2 and 3 (ISO 3046) and NFPA 110. The tests shall be for rated load test at the
rated power factor using inductive load banks, to be witness by the Engineer/Client.
1.4.2 Thereafter, an on-site test shall take place after completion of all the installation

requires being present at the site load bank test. If the inductive load bank test for
the rated kW at rated power factor has not been done then the site load test shall be
carried out by suitably sized inductive load bank.
1.4.3 All necessary fuel, load bank provision and cabling works to suit the above shall be
allowed for in this scope of works.
1.5.1 The scope includes for full training of the Client and Facilities Management in the
operation and maintenance (trouble shooting, servicing, preventive, and routine) of
