MEGATROL CS (Cross Start)

MEGATROL CS is a special application solution for multiple gas

turbine startups. Up to six generators with their related

excitation systems and three MEGADRIVE-LCI frequency

converters are connected together via Start-up Selection

Boards (SSB). MEGATROL CS is able to automatically control the

SSB isconnectors, select an available frequency converter for

start-up and support all required communication channels

during start-up. The selection of the MEGADRIVE-LCI can be

preconfigured manually.

Surprisingly compact solution

The merged functionality of MEGATROL enables a compact

mechanical design with the possibility to place the equipment

in one container. For gas turbine stations it is particularly

advantageous to get converter and excitation mounted and

cabled in a common container.

Key benefits

Cross Start (CS)

• Economic solution where one MEGADRIVE-LCI starts

multiple generators

• High availability thanks to fully redundant starter solution

• High reliability through patented self-organizing control

network with distributed intelligence

• Network self-heals automatically after the replacement of

defective device

• Scalable and expandable solution
