Application
The BGC-L is a microprocessor-based control unit
containing all necessary functions for protection of a
gen-set and control of the generator breaker. It contains
all necessary 3-phase measuring circuits and all values
and alarms are presented on the LCD display.
BGC-L Controller
BGC-L variants
Two variants of the BGC-L exist, type A and type B.
Type A is the basic version giving the required
functionality for synchronising and load sharing with
governor and AVR control.

The BGC-L is a compact all-in-one unit designed for Type B is a unit with increased functionality of
island mode applications, i.e. stand-alone or load protections, start/stop functionality and engine
sharing with other gen-sets. communication.

The BGC-L automatically carries out a cyclical self-test

at start-up. If any errors are found, they will be Differences between type A and type B
