Description
The T4900 VAR Load Sharer provides automatic load sharing
of reactive power [kVAR] and voltage control for parallel
running generators. The reactive load on each generator is
compared with the reactive load on the other generators
and corrected on the AVR (Automatic Voltage Regulator)
until balance is obtained. The T4900 can also be used for
power factor (PF) control in applications where one or more
generators are operated in parallel with the grid (utility). The
input to the T4900 are the voltage and the current from which
the reactive power and voltage is determined. The T4900
calculates I x sin φ, representing the reactive load.
Power factor control for parallel operation with the public
grid can be obtained by connecting an external contact
between terminals 12 (COM) and 28 (PF ON). The setting is
determined by an external potentiometer (100 kW) across
terminals 29 and 30 (PF-SET).
