Page 72: Dummy Load / Load Shedding Control
Operation 6.4 DUMMY LOAD / LOAD SHEDDING CONTROL This feature may be enabled by the system designer to ensure the loading on the generator is kept to a nominal amount. If the load is low, ‘dummy loads’ (typically static load banks) can be introduced to ensure the engine is not too lightly loaded. -
Page 73: Stop Mode
Operation 6.5 STOP MODE STOP mode is activated by pressing the button.

Page 87: High Current Shutdown / Electrical Trip Alarm
Protections 7.7 HIGH CURRENT SHUTDOWN / ELECTRICAL TRIP ALARM The overcurrent alarm combines a simple warning trip level with a fully functioning IDMT curve for thermal protection. 7.7.1 IMMEDIATE WARNING If the Immediate Warning is enabled, the controller generates a warning alarm as soon as the Trip level is reached. - Page 88 Protections This allows for overload of the set to the limits of the Typical Brushless Alternator whereby 110% overload is permitted for 1 hour. If the set load reduces, the controller then follows a cooling curve. This means that a second overload condition may trip much sooner than the first as the controller knows if the windings have not cooled sufficiently.
