Switching Operation
Synchronizes Generator with the grid Conducts and switches Generator Nominal Current Switches Short-circuit Current feeder from grid Switches Short-circuit Current feeder from generator(s) Switches out-of-phase current (up to 180) Switches all asymmetrical currents (till 130% asymmetry)
