Possible Causes

Incorrect sync parameters, Faulty sync check relay, Mismatched voltage or frequency between generator and mains, Phase angle outside limits

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Synchronizing two power sources is hazardous if done incorrectly. Only trained personnel should adjust sync settings.

  • Verify generator settings: Confirm the generator voltage and frequency are set to match the mains supply.
  • Check sync parameters: In the controller, review allowable voltage, frequency, and phase angle windows for synchronization. Adjust to manufacturer‑recommended values.
  • Inspect sync check relay: If a separate relay is used, verify wiring and operation per the schematic.
  • Measure phase angle: Using appropriate instruments, confirm that the generator can reach acceptable phase alignment with mains during the sync attempt.

If E023 persists, a specialist should review the synchronization scheme and controller configuration.
