When the generator is paralleled to the mains, the governor regulation will be active afterwards. It will use the setting ‘generator minimum load as the setpoint’ (menu 6523).

The length of the period time will never be shorter than the adjusted ON time. The P regulator causes the relay output to activate. The I regulator has the same effect on the relay output as described on page 126 concerning the reset time t DEIF A/S Page 131 of 168...
