Synchronism check

I am trying to set up a syn check parameters for a bus transfer system. Not sure which standard to go with. It is 4160V system. No generators.
The parameters I entered for now are:
Voltage difference 104V;
Frequency difference 0.25Hz;
Frequency hysteresis 0.1Hz;
Phase angle 10 degree.

I appreciate it in advance.

"Voltage difference 104V"

Seems a bit much for a HL/HB.
 
104V is only 2.5% - why do you think that is excessive?

 
Thank you guys for the responses. Wonder if there is any industry standard, whether IEEE or IEC, to govern this.
 
No standards. as usually depend on.

delta U usually : 5-10%
delta Phi 12-15deg.

 
For a bus transfer, whose upstream is already paralleled, the setting of delta Phi 12-15deg also appears to be unnecessary. You can have a setting of just 1 or 2 degrees (close to zero). After all it is only for re-affirmation.
 
Thanks, I may probably change the phase angle delta from 10 to 7 deg.
 
Please take in account two buses are not same loaded
7 deg is for generator.
 
If no generators are involved, why do you want sync check?
 
Or put another way, is there a credible situation where the two buses may be out of sync? For example, two utility infeeds from separated parts of the transmission or primary distribution system would probably justify it.
 
Well. There would be way sbove this level, which is 240kV level. But at this voltage level, voltages, phase angles and frequencies should pretty much stay the same.
