POWERBALANCE
™
PowerBalance™
(Figure 19) is an optional load
management solution that helps protect the engine generator
from problems resulting from sustained low-load operations
(defined as less than 30% of the generator full-load rating).

POWERBALANCE™
ASSEMBLY
PowerBalance™ continuously monitors engine load by
sensing the engine exhaust temperature.
The load management controller senses and increases
engine load automatically using resistive coils when the
controller determines that the temperature and/or load
is too low.
When additional load demands are placed on
the generator that bring it to an optimum level,
PowerBalance™ will automatically deactivate this
additional load and remain ready for reactivation should
exhaust temperatures drop.
