Voltage measurement separation

For optional separation of Mains/bus and generator voltage from the controller (e.g. on ships)
use IG-MTU.

8.6.2.1. IG MTU
Connect one or two IG-MTU units to separate generator and Mains/bus voltage from
controller.

8.6.4. Earth fault protection (e.g. MINT application)

Earth fault current protection is active only when Process control: IE measurement =
ANALOG INPUT or NONE.
Connect separate current transformer to gen-set neutral. Adjust EarthFltCurrCT in Basic
settings and EarthFaultCurr and EthFltCurr del limits in Generator protection group.
