1. Data sheet
1.1 General information
1.1.1 Application
The Generator Paralleling Controller (GPC-3) is a compact all in one microprocessor-based control unit con-
taining all necessary functions for protection and control of a synchronous/asynchronous generator. It con-
tains all necessary galvanically separated 3-phase measuring circuits.
The GPC-3 is intended for land-based applications. It is designed for the following applications (can be com-
bined):
1. Stand-alone
2. Parallel with other generators
3. Parallel to mains
The GPC-3 can synchronise the generator and after synchronisation carry out all necessary generator control
and protective functions. It is well-suited for PLC-controlled systems and the interfacing can be done via bina-
ry and analogue I/Os or via serial communication.
The display unit shows all measured and calculated values as well as alarms and data from the event log.
1. Fixed frequency
2. Fixed power (base load)
3. Frequency droop
4. Load sharing
If the automatic voltage regulator is controlled by the GPC-3, the standard operation modes are extended
with:
1. Fixed voltage
2. Fixed var
3. Fixed power factor
4. Reactive load sharing
5. Voltage droop
1.1.4 Self-test
The GPC-3 automatically carries out a cyclical self-test at start-up. If any errors are found, they will be dis-
played in clear text in the display and indicated with a relay output (status output).
1.1.7 CANshare
Some applications require supervision of wire break and short circuit of the load sharing lines. Since the
standard analogue load sharing lines do not include any supervision, it is recommended to use the optional
CANshare feature (option G9) for these applications.
1.1.8 Setup
Setup is easily done via a menu structure in the display (password-protected) or via the USB PC connection
and the Multi-line 2 Windows®-based PC utility software. The PC utility software can be downloaded free of
charge from www.deif.com/Download_centre. The utility software offers additional features such as monitor-
ing of all relevant information during commissioning, saving and downloading of settings and downloading of
software updates.
1.1.9 Options
In order to perfectly match the product solution to specific applications, the functionality of the GPC-3 can be
equipped with a number of available options. The options selected by the customer will be integrated in the
standard GPC-3, hereby securing the same user interface unaffected by whether the application needs a
highly complex or a more basic genset controller.
1.1.10 Approvals
The GPC-3 is UL/cUL listed.
Compliant with VDE-AR-N-4105.

The GPC-3 can be used in simple or complex applications. The above shows some of the appli-
cations, but due to the flexible mode selection, the GPC-3 can be used in all applications. The
GPC-3 is also designed to work with the Uni-line components such as the FAS (Full Automatic
Synchroniser), should this be preferred.
Four relays are available as standard in slot #4 for GOV/AVR control. If one of the options E1,
E2, EF2, EF4 or EF5 is selected, these options will replace the four relays.
Notice that not all options can be selected for the same unit. Refer to the paragraph "Hardware
overview" in this data sheet for further information about the location of the HW options in the
unit.

There can only be one hardware option in each slot. For example, it is not possible to select
option H2 and option H3 at the same time, because both options require a PCB in slot #2.
Besides the hardware options shown above, it is possible to select the software options men-
tioned in the paragraph "Available options".
