Application Considerations
Generator overload condition is determined by generator
frequency. Loads are shed when frequency is less than
58 Hz for three seconds or less than 50 Hz for ½ second
(for 60 Hz systems).
The SACM can be used in conjunction with individual
SMMs to manage a combined total of eight loads.
• Use Priorities A/C 1-4 on the SACM as the top
priorities, then up to four SMMs as Priorities 5-8.
• Use only select A/C priorities on the SACM as the top
priorities, then use additional SMMs as the remaining
priorities.
• A SMM can share a priority with an A/C priority on
the SACM provided the generator is sized to handle
the combined surge load from both appliances.
Sharing priorities can allow up to 12 loads to be
managed in a properly sized system.
In any combination of modules, the recovery times after a
loss of utility power or shutdown due to overload are
shown in
Table 1
.
See the SMM Owner’s/Installation Manual for detailed
characteristics and specifications of that product.
