LOAD MANAGEMENT, cont.
Load Sharing
The slave converter of a paralleled converter system can be forced to draw less current than the
master converter, if attached to a shore cord with lesser available power due to lower amperage,
lower voltage, or different form (i.e. 1-Phase vs. 3-Phase). This is accomplished via Load
Sharing which causes a sharing ratio between the converters identical to the ratio between the
two shore cords (up 2:1).
Voltage Droop
If the yacht’s electrical system does not include a power management system that allows for
automatic load-shed, the converter’s Voltage Droop feature may be used to save up to 10%
capacity by reducing the converter output voltage up to 5% (1% to 5% range). This feature may
be enabled or disabled by the user and droops upon Shore Cord Alarm.
Automatic Transfer to Generator
The converter system may be set to automatically transfer to generator (assuming the existence
of the Seamless Transfer Option) upon Shore Cord Alarm. The Automatic Transfer would only
occur after the Voltage Droop had taken effect if both were enabled. This feature may be
enabled or disabled by the user. A signal generated by the converter may be used to start the
selected generator. Also, a programmable warm-up delay is available.
