III. Key Features
1. Full-automatic High-precision Synchronization Grid Connection
Real-time collection of grid and generator voltage, frequency and phase parameters, automatic difference calculation and adjustment output, accurately capturing the optimal closing time after parameters meet the threshold, realizing impact-free smooth grid connection without manual intervention, with high precision and stability.
2. Dual-channel Redundant Safety Voting
Two independent sampling and operation loops work synchronously with cross-comparison and dual voting. Closing commands are output only when both channels confirm qualified synchronization conditions. Single-channel faults trigger interlock and alarm without mis-operation, greatly improving system fault tolerance and grid connection safety.

Supports flexible setting of synchronization threshold, regulation parameters and interlock logic via SinView 5 software, realizing grid connection simulation test, equipment diagnosis, firmware upgrade and online parameter modification, adapting to unit technical renovation and working condition optimization.
IV. Working Principle
After power-on, the device automatically completes hardware self-inspection, sampling loop verification and communication initialization, and enters standby monitoring state after passing self-inspection. The dual channels synchronously collect real-time voltage, frequency and phase parameters of the system bus and standby generator, and the built-in processor calculates and compares parameter differences at high speed.
When frequency difference, voltage difference or phase difference is detected, the device automatically outputs speed increase/decrease and voltage increase/decrease adjustment pulses according to preset logic and unit characteristics, driving the unit speed regulation and excitation systems to correct operating parameters and gradually reduce parameter deviations.
The device continuously predicts the phase change trend and accurately captures the optimal closing advance angle. When frequency difference, voltage difference and phase difference all meet the synchronization threshold and dual-channel voting is consistent, it instantly outputs closing relay commands to drive the circuit breaker to complete grid connection.
After grid connection, the device automatically resets adjustment outputs and enters standby state, recording the full data of this grid connection. If parameter over-limit, loop abnormality or hardware fault occurs during grid connection, the device immediately locks all outputs, triggers alarms and latches fault events to avoid abnormal grid connection risks.
