Nominal method example
A GENSET controller controls a genset with a nominal current of 100 A. The L1 current is 80 A, the L2 current is 90 A, and
the L3 current is 60 A.
The current unbalance is (90 A - 60 A) / 100 A = 0.3 = 30 %.

The alarm response is based on the highest phase current true RMS value, with the direction
from the active power from the source, as measured by the controller.
Controller types: These alarms are present in GENSET controllers.

INFO
For a positive set point, the alarm trigger level is
High
. When a negative set point is written to the controller, then the
controller automatically changes the alarm trigger level to
Low
.
