The Generator Start Percentage is the percent load on the running generators above which this generator will Because a generator will not be consuming fuel when it begin timing for the Generator Start Delay.
9.8 Load Add/Shed Configuration The Load Add/Shed configuration (also known as load control) is intended to remove non-critical loads from the generator in the event of a condition where the generator capacity is insufficient to support the load. This allows the critical loads to receive power until the load decreases or the capacity increases.
