Diversion Load Control
976-0043-01-01 E–3
Diversion Load Control
DC generator devices such as wind turbines and hydro-electric generators
may be damaged by over-spinning if the DC loads are suddenly removed
from them. This can happen if the DC disconnect should open (trip) or the
batteries are fully charged and no other DC loads are connected in the
system. A diversion load controller prevents damage to the generator
system by diverting the power from the generator to a diversion load
device. This keeps a load on the generator and controls over-spin if the
batteries should be disconnected. Refer to the controller manual for
proper types of diversion load devices.
