Setting the load values
By default, the Hand-held allows you to set the load as a percentage of the Supply-on-Test
from 0% up to a maximum of 120%. The actual load applied is based on the Supply-on-Test
and load bank settings made on the Settings 1 and 2 Pages.
However, by pressing F3 (SELECT) you can choose between setting the load using kVA,
Power Factor or Percentage load values (If a resistive-only load bank is used, then the
selection will be percentage load and kW only).
Power factor can be set between 0.00 and 1.00 cos
φ
on the Hand-held (most generators
are rated at 0.8 cos
φ
). However, non-unity power factor values are dependant on the load
bank capacity and the supply size.
