Still don't seem to know what protection curve the MCB is....
See pitcture
When did you measure these peaks during change over or when it was up and running.
When up and running, it wasn't this high when changing over,
The generator cannot comply with bs7909 on its own! Bs7909 is the standard which covers your whole installation from generator through to the ride.
If the generator is noticeably slowing down then the output voltage and frequency will also dropping, this will have a knock on effect on everything it is powering.
Are you running this whilst other loads are on the generator, or is it the only load?
I admit i am not familiar with the standard but all the leads over 32A are covered by 300ma RCD and correct overcutrent protective devises and anything under this 30mA double pole rcbo, I'm sure there is more to it, it's not somign I am involved with every day, just been asked to look at this for them.
The voltage and frequency do not change, there are meters on the machine so you can watch them while transferring.
There are other loads about another 75 amps/ phase on at the same time.
