operation of two generators. • Single unit droop

2.2 DROOP CONFIGURATION

• Parallel unit isochronous
• Parallel unit droop
The droop configuration is necessary to limit the load
carried by the engine generator sets when paralleled
with an infinite bus. The infinite bus frequency is fixed;
therefore, operating isochronously will either overload
the engine/ generator or cause shutdown on reverse
current, depending upon whether the reference speed
for the engine/generator is below or above the bus
frequency.

All engine/generators should be set to the same droop

when connected to the bus. Once the engine/generators
are paralleled in droop on an infinite bus, load is picked
up by increasing the fuel on each engine/generator.

The droop mode is obtained when terminal 11 is con-

nected to terminal 12. The amount of droop is adjustable
over the range of 0 to 10% by setting the “droop”
potentiometer.
