The screen shown in Figure 72 reports the error percent, reactive current, NLS average reactive current, 
and number of generators online. The status indicators change from gray to green when a status is 
active. 

The Error percent is the deviation of the unit’s reactive current from the system average. The NLS 
Average Reactive Current is the average of the reactive current of every unit in the system. Generators 
Online is the number of units actively load sharing.
