SYMPTOMS

 

CAUSE

 

TEST/REMEDY

Load Signal voltage is too 
high. Adjusting LOAD GAIN 
will not lower it.

 

CT output too high.

Check for 5 amp CT output at full load. (CT 
output must be between 3 and 7 amps at 
full load.) Change to a higher primary 
current CT if necessary.

Engine does not properly 
share load with other units.

 

Engine not responding to signal 
from Load Sharing Module.

 

Check for maximum voltage from terminals 
22 to 23. If possible check the voltage from 
terminal 19 to 20. If the Load Sharing 
Module is putting out a maximum signal, the 
problem is either in the wiring to the engine 
control, the engine control, or the engine.

 

 

Unequal speed settings.

Be sure the speed settings of all off-line 
units at no load are identical. Adjust as 
necessary. Resynchronize.

 

Unequal load gain voltages.

Check that load gain settings of all load 
sharing units are correct. See load gain 
adjustment in Chapter 3. Adjust as 
necessary.

 

Improper load sensing phasing.

Perform the transformer phasing check in 
Chapter 3. Correct as necessary.

 

Engine does not properly 
share load with other units.

 

Circulating currents between 
generators. (Noted by unequal 
power factors between 
generators.)

 

Properly adjust the generator voltage 
regulators.

 

Engine does not properly 
share load with other units.

 

Terminals 13 and 14 not 
shorted. Load sharing module is 
in droop.

 

Jumper Load Sharing Module terminals 13 
and 14. Observe engine operation. Replace 
wiring or switch as required.
