GE PPU2GS | Generator Paralleling and Protection Unit(XIONGBA)

The GE PPU2GS boasts powerful protection capabilities, capable of real-time monitoring of generator operating status and parameters. It can detect abnormal conditions such as overload, short circuits, and ground faults and quickly isolate faulty components to prevent equipment damage or system failures, ensuring the stability of power systems. It features a fast response capability, capable of rapidly isolating faulty components before or when faults occur, thereby limiting the impact of failures and reducing downtime and economic losses. The GE PPU2GS adopts a modular design, making it easy to integrate with other devices like drivers and control power supplies. This simplifies system structure while enhancing reliability and flexibility. It supports multiple communication protocols, enabling seamless data exchange with other industrial devices and facilitating comprehensive system integration. Its compact design and low power consumption reduce space requirements and energy costs, making it an eco-friendly choice for modern industrial setups.

In power generation facilities, the GE PPU2GS is used to protect and control generators, monitor their operating status and parameters, and trigger protective actions in case of abnormalities, ensuring stable power supply. In industrial manufacturing, it can be used to protect generators in manufacturing equipment, preventing equipment damage caused by electrical faults and ensuring continuous production processes. In infrastructure projects, such as water treatment plants and transportation systems, the GE PPU2GS provides reliable protection and control for generators, ensuring stable operation of critical infrastructure.

GE PPU300 – The successor to the PPU2GS, offering enhanced functionality and performance, suitable for more complex generator paralleling and protection applications.

GE PPU/2/GS Option C1-D1-E1-H2 – A variant of the PPU2GS with additional optional functions, such as enhanced generator, busbar, and mains protection, voltage/VAr/PF control, and serial communication capabilities.

GE PPU/2/GS Display Unit – A display unit designed for the PPU2GS, featuring a backlit LCD text display that can be installed on the switchboard door and connected to the main unit via a display cable.

Prior to installing the GE PPU2GS, ensure adequate physical space in the control panel, with minimum clearances of 10 mm on all sides for proper heat dissipation. The unit requires reliable grounding to a Class 1 earth system to minimize electrical interference. Environmental conditions should maintain ambient temperatures within the -20°C to +60°C range, and the unit should be protected from direct exposure to water or corrosive substances. The GE PPU2GS can be mounted in two ways: directly on a DIN rail or secured with screws to the rear side of the cabinet. Regular visual inspections should be conducted to check for physical damage, corrosion, or loose connections. The built-in diagnostic tools should be accessed quarterly via the integrated HMI or connected control system to review performance metrics and error logs. Firmware updates should be applied as released by GE, following proper lockout/tagout procedures. The expected service life of the unit is 10-15 years with appropriate care, though components should be tested annually after the fifth year of operation to ensure continued reliability.
