1. INTRODUCTION
The CON-2300MP switching control system is comprised of three modules.
of control, is designed to automatically control a switching system
power electrical between two network supplies and a generator supply

group through a interlocked switching system to avoid the maneuver
simultaneous between the group and either of the two networks.

The CON-2300MP system detects the failure of the power supply from any of the
Networks or receive a commissioning order of the group (from the programmer of
operation of the optional equipment, or of a remote control system); then it gives
a start signal to the automatic switchboard of the group and controls the load transfer

Modes of operation:

In automatic system operation, when a network fails, the service is activated.

In manual operation, preventive maintenance can be performed by connecting.

A switch can be performed without interruption between networks if the two networks are the same.
they can be connected in parallel. The connection in parallel between the networks only depends on the
characteristic of the transformers that supply them, not depending on the
characteristics of the automatic system

In automatic operation by remote control, when a signal is given by closing a

contact, start the generator and transfer the load from the grid to the group. When removing the
remote signal (contact opening) transfers the group load to redy for the group

It can be used for automatic preventive maintenance with real load.

In cases where CON-2300MP switching control equipment is provided

to mount on power switches not manufactured by ELECTRA MOLINS, the

the client can carry out the power switching assembly with the circuit breakers
chosen and the CON-2300MP team.

Before the equipment assembly, the following checks must be carried out:

• Check the nominal supply voltage of the equipment. See indication on the equipment itself.

• Check that the rated current of the circuit breakers is suitable for the installation.

Before energizing the equipment, perform the following checks:

• Check that the connections have been made according to the 'Electrical Diagram of

alarms related to the group circuit breaker.

The 4 alarms that each of the two modules controls related to the
the network circuit breakers are as follows:

Failure of the connection of network circuit breaker 1.

Failure in the disconnection of network circuit breaker 1.

Unexpected disconnection of network circuit breaker 1.

These same alarms are repeated for network 2.

The 4 alarms that the module controls related to the group circuit breaker are
next:

Unscheduled disconnection of the circuit breaker.

The following alarms are described in detail:

Communications with the outside.

The CON-2300MP device has two contacts with a common terminal without voltage that
they allow to signal at a distance the firing of the alarms of the equipment. One of the contacts
signals the preventive alarms, the other the alarms in the switching system.

Through an external contact connected to the equipment, the group can be started or
put it into service according to the programming carried out on the device itself.

Optionally, a module can be installed for the communication of the equipment with a
PC computer, through an RS 485 serial communication. Allows for control
remote completion of the switching team. To know the details of
operation and programming, see the manual 'Protocol Description of

To program the equipment for automatic operation in case of network failure, you must
press the button S11 "Automatic service/Manual service" switching to "Service
automatic" in the three modules, signaling the maneuver by the lighting of
the corresponding pilots.

When a 'network failure' occurs, the CON-2300MP equipment will perform a brief
timing, usually 1 second to give the order to be put into service

If the normal operating system of the equipment requires both networks to work
permanently in parallel, the group's start will occur when a single one fails.

automatic, and a review is carried out and if necessary a retightening of all its
embeddings, both of maneuver and power, as well as a cleaning of the

It is recommended to create an incident log for the annotation of the

interventions that are carried out on the equipment, indicating the date of them, the
reviews carried out or the work done, the anomalies found, the elements
replaced and the name of the technician who carried out the review.
