The DEIF SCM-1 is a Synchronising, Control, and Measuring module, primarily associated with DEIF’s Delomatic series of power management systems. It is a key component used in various power generation and marine applications for synchronizing generators to a busbar, as well as providing control and measurement functionalities.
Based on available information, here’s a breakdown:
Product Overview:
The DEIF SCM-1 module integrates several essential functions for power management:
- Synchronizing: Automatically synchronizes the generator voltage, frequency, and phase angle with the busbar before allowing the circuit breaker to close.
- Control: Provides control signals for the generator’s speed governor and voltage regulator during the synchronization process.
- Measuring: Measures relevant electrical parameters such as voltage, frequency, and phase difference.
Technical Specifications (Note: Specifications can vary depending on the specific SCM-1 variant. Consult the specific datasheet for accurate details):
- Accuracy: Typically Class 1 acc. to IEC 688.
- Frequency: 50/60 Hz.
- Voltage: Typically 150 to 700 V AC.
- Harmonics: Measures up to 500Hz.
- Galvanic Separation AC Inputs: 2.5kV DNV (as per some sources).
- Analog Inputs: 10V DC Impedance (as per some sources).
- Analog Outputs Control Panel: 16 x 0…1mA pulse width modulated (as per some sources).
- Display Size: H x W = 115 x 220 mm (as per some installation instructions for related Delomatic series).
- Mounting: Q96 DIN size design (for some variants).
