5.4.3 ENGINE RUNNING
NOTE: The load transfer signal remains inactive until the generator is available. This
prevents excessive wear on the engine and alternator.
The generator synchronises to the bus and is placed on load if configured to do so.
If all start requests are removed, the Stopping Sequence begins.
5.4.4 STOPPING SEQUENCE
The Return Delay timer operates to ensure that the starting request has been permanently removed
and isn’t just a short term removal. Should another start request be made during the cooling down
period, the set returns on load.
If there are no starting requests at the end of the Return Delay timer, the generator ramps its load off
and open its load switch, the Cooling Down timer is initiated.
The Cooling Down timer allows the set to run off load and cool sufficiently before being stopped. This
is particularly important where turbo chargers are fitted to the engine.
After the Cooling Down timer has expired, the set is stopped.
