Application Fields
The SYMAP-BCG is widely utilized in heavy-duty industrial and marine environments. Key application areas include offshore oil and gas platforms (DP system logics), marine vessel power management, and large-scale power plants using diesel or gas engines. It is also found in hybrid energy systems and battery storage solutions, providing grid decoupling, generator protection, and transformer monitoring. Its “XC” (Extreme Conditions) capabilities make it ideal for environments prone to high vibration and electromagnetic interference.
Product Instructions
Installation must be performed by qualified electrical technicians within a grounded switchgear panel. The device should be mounted using the provided cut-out dimensions to ensure the stainless steel housing provides maximum EMC shielding. Wiring for current transformers (CTs) and potential transformers (PTs) must be secured to the rear terminal plugs; these plugs feature an automatic shorting bar to prevent open-circuit hazards if disconnected. Configuration is handled via the front RS232 port or network interfaces using the SYMAP Parameter Tool software. Regular diagnostics should be performed using the built-in self-test routines that monitor ROM, RAM, and reference voltages.
Common Questions and Answers
Q: Does the SYMAP-BCG support redundant operations? A: Yes, the device features a double redundancy combination where important functions operate independently on a second processor. It can also be paired with an optional CMA 198 unit for independent short-circuit protection.
Q: Can this unit control multiple circuit breakers? A: The SYMAP-BCG allows for the control and graphic representation of a busbar system for up to five circuit breakers, including all necessary interlocks and blocking functions.
Q: How many events can the internal memory record? A: The integrated event history log can store up to 5,000 timestamped events using a FIFO (First-In, First-Out) principle, ensuring critical data is captured for fault analysis.
