LOAD MANAGEMENT
ASEA Power Systems' shore power converters now provide a comprehensive Load Management
System. The various features are discussed below.
Shore Cord Alarm
The Shore Cord Alarm drives the Voltage Droop and Automatic Transfer to Generator features
of the Load Management System. The user selects a percentage between 50% and 100% at
which to begin alarming. This feature may be enabled or disabled by the user.
Shore Cord Setup
The actual shore cord amperage is selected by the user from a table of available, international
shore cord sizes. This selection causes the converter to now display load level and alarm based
on the true available shore cord energy. The new, actual converter capacity (if less than the
converter’s capacity) is displayed for reference.
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.
