5. Description of module
The synchronisation unit training panel comprises 5 independent displays (double voltage meter, zero voltage
meter, synchronoscope, double frequency meter and 3 lamps) for determining suitable times for synchronisation,
in order to switch a synchronous generator into an existing power network, for example. The built-in four-pole
power switch allows three phases and a control voltage to be switched on.
• Determining a suitable time for synchronisation using the synchronising light method and the
synchronising dark method or a three-lamp switching circuit at known frequencies and voltages for the
mains and the generator
• Determining a suitable time for synchronisation using a double voltage meter, a zero voltage meter or a
synchronoscope
The synchronisation unit described in the instruction manual is a training system exclusively designed for
educational purposes to be used solely in schools, universities, training establishments and other educational
institutes for the teaching of electrical engineering and power engineering (see Section "5.1. Product brand and
model").
The training system is only authorised to be used in rooms that fulfil the local regulations for education and
training.
The training system can only be operated within the bounds as stated in the technical data.
Any other use or any use which exceeds the specifications is in contravention of regulations.
LUCAS-NÜLLE GmbH assumes no liability for any damage resulting from such use. The user alone is liable for all risks.
Use of the equipment as per regulations involves constant observation of the specifications in the supplied instruction
manual.

1. Double voltage meter: Left-hand side VMains, right-hand side VGenerator (phase-to-phase/line-to-line
voltage). Before synchronisation, both values need to be nearly identical.
The needles can be recalibrated by means of the white plastic screws on the front.
2. Zero voltage meter: This measures the difference between VMains and VGenerator for a single phase. Before
synchronisation, this value should be close to 0 V.
The needle can be recalibrated by means of the white plastic screw on the front.
3. Digital synchronoscope: The display shows the phase angle between VMains and VGenerator. When the display
is rotating clockwise, the generator frequency is higher (more positive) than the mains frequency. Before
synchronisation, the green LEDs at the top of the circle need to be almost permanently lit.
4. Double frequency meter: fMains (I) and fGenerator (II) can be read off from the most active oscillating
measuring bar. Before synchronisation, both frequencies need to be almost identical.
5. By means of the three lamps, it is possible to construct circuits for determining the correct time for
synchronisation. Circuits most worthy of mention in this regard include the light method, dark method
and three-lamp circuits. The sockets for the three live conductors provide the power for the lamps (see
example in Section “7.1. Product brand and model")
6. Power switch: Connects the three live conductors and the control contact Sync. The neutral conductor is
permanently connected.
7. Network terminals: 4-mm safety sockets for (from top to bottom) L1, L2, L3, N and PE.
8. Generator terminals: 4-mm safety sockets for (from top to bottom) L1, L2, L3, N and PE.

7. Commissioning
Before it is put into operation, the laboratory set-up should be fully connected and ready to run.
If the three lamps do not behave as described, the directions of rotation of VMains and VGenerator are probably the
wrong way round. If this happens, you should first check whether VMains and VGenerator are actually rotating in the
same direction.
13
Instruction manual
Synchronisation unit
CO3212-6V
When the synchronising light method is used, the correct time for
synchronisation is determined when all three lamps are lit to their
brightest extent. Between phase angles of 0° and 360° (between VMains
and VGenerator) all the lamps grow lighter and darker simultaneously.
14
Instruction manual
Synchronisation unit
CO3212-6V
When the synchronising dark method is used, the correct time for
synchronisation is determined when all three lamps are completely off.
Between phase angles of 0° and 360° (between VMains and VGenerator) all the
lamps grow lighter and darker simultaneously.
