Parallel Configuration for Connection A & B 

 
To use the SE350 Static Exciter Module in a parallel configuration either with another 
generator or with a buss such as a utility, use the diagram below for proper hookup with 
the SE350 configured for Connection A or B. 
 

NOTE:

  

Power-Tronics products parallel using the Reactive Droop compensation method.  This allows 

our products to parallel with existing systems easily while also allowing islanded operation with the flip of 
a switch.  When initially installing the droop resistor, set it for approximately 7

Ω

 before final adjustment 

later.  If the droop is excessive when load testing, reduce the resistance a bit at a time until satisfactory 
droop is achieved.  

CT should be sized at 25-35VA capacity!

 

 
 
 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

 
 
 
 

 

NOTE: 

If using Connection B, 
refer to Page 7 for a 
diagram of how to 
connect your second 
SE350 Module!
