Description
The BTB200 controller provides the ability to control a bus tie breaker, for applications where it is necessary to divide the common bus-bars during certain operating conditions.
It manages the synchronisation between the two separated halves of the bus-bars (named A and B), based on an input signal, taking into account the number of generator sets connected on the two halves.
Generator sets synchronisation is achieved directly by the CANBUS connection to the SICES genset controllers, or alternatively by using analogue lines.
BTB200 measures the current flow across the tie breaker (3ph) by means of current transformers. It is able to measure the active (kW), reactive (kvar) and apparent power (kVA) exchanged on the bus-bars (and the power factor too), showing the flowing direction (A to B or B to A) on the display and by the LEDs on the front panel.
BTB200 also measures the total energy on the bus-bars using energy counters (active and reactive, A to B and B to A).
For complex applications, it is possible to connect at the same CANBUS up to 8 BTB200 bus tie breaker controllers, and up to 16 MC200 mains controllers and up to 16 GC600 or 24 DST4602Evolution genset controllers.
BTB200 provides several different communication options, to ensure easy integration with remote monitoring facilities and building management systems.
A large full colour display presents operating status in a clear easy to view format. Combined with generous input and output capability that means complex sites can be tackled with ease.
