• 12 o'clock position LED is bi-colored
• PC window, ABS resin frame, PC case
• Front panel mount

Operation principle

• Initially, SYNC, BUS and GEN LED's are lit red and the outer ring will show a single red traveling LED (when voltage and phase angle are unmatched the outer ring LED rotates according to the system phase difference)
• When the BUS voltage is at ±10% of nominal system voltage, the BUS LED will change from red to green signifying proper BUS voltage has been established
• When the GEN voltage is at ±10% of nominal system voltage the GEN LED will change from red to green signifying proper GEN voltage has been established
• Finally, once all system voltages match and the systems are synchronized, the SYNC LED will change from red to green (all LED's are now green when the systems are synchronized)

Applications

• Power plant synchronization: In power plants, especially those with multiple generators, the synchroscope helps operators synchronize the outputs of different generators before they are paralleled onto the grid (this ensures a smooth and stable transfer of load)
• Generator paralleling: When adding a backup generator to a power distribution system or synchronizing multiple generators in parallel operation, the synchroscope is used to match the frequency, phase, and voltage of the incoming generator(s) with the system
• Utility grid connection: When connecting a local power generation source (example: a generator or renewable energy source) to the main utility grid, synchronization is crucial to avoid power quality issues and potential damage to equipment
• Shipboard power systems: This digital synchroscope can also be used in maritime applications to synchronize shipboard generators to ensure a stable power supply for critical systems on board
• Industrial and manufacturing facilities: In industrial facilities with multiple generators or backup power sources, the synchroscope helps maintain power quality during load transfers and ensures that the connected generators are in phase
• Emergency backup systems: In data centers, hospitals, and other critical facilities, synchroscopes are used to synchronize backup generators during power outages to maintain continuous operations
• Microgrid management: In microgrid installations, where various distributed energy sources are used, a synchroscope helps ensure that the microgrid can connect to or disconnect from the main grid safely
• Training and education: This digital synchroscope is also used in educational and training programs for electrical engineers, technicians, and operators to teach synchronization principles and procedures
