PowerBalance™ (Figure 19) is an optional load
management solution that helps protect the engine generator
from problems resulting from sustained low-load operations
(defined as less than 30% of the generator full-load rating).
The load management controller senses and increases
engine load automatically using resistive coils when the
controller determines that the temperature and/or load
is too low.

PowerBalance™ continuously monitors engine load by
sensing the engine exhaust temperature.

When additional load demands are placed on
the generator that bring it to an optimum level,
PowerBalance™ will automatically deactivate this
additional load and remain ready for reactivation should
exhaust temperatures drop.
