System Load A variable used in the load control program of the EGCP-2, which is the ratio of total load demand to total generating capacity that is supplying the load. System Load = kW Load/kW Capacity. Test A discrete input to the EGCP-2, which is used to start the engine for test and initial start check out. The test input is also used with the run with load or process inputs, and a software set point, to put the EGCP-2 into a soft transfer mode.

VAR/PF Control

 The ability to control a level of VAR or PF on a generator while in parallel with the mains. The EGCP-2 has VAR/PF control features that allow the user to set a desired VAR or PF level on the generator while in parallel with the mains. The VAR or PF level is maintained by changing the excitation level of the generator. This is accomplished by changing the voltage reference level of the AVR from the EGCP-2.

VAR/PF Sharing

 The ability to share the VAR and PF load on multiple units operating on an isolated bus. Like load sharing, the EGCP-2 VAR/PF sharing measures the VARs of the load on the isolated bus, and divides this value by the total VAR capacity of the generators tied to the load. A proportional VAR/PF level is then maintained between all units tied to the load based on their rated VAR capacity.
