WLA 2- Load Balancing Relay
1. Application The required sensitivity can be adjusted with the
potentiometer.
This unit is used for automatic load balance between
gen-sets in parallel operation. A proportional regulation For example :
of the nominal value for several generating sets in
parallel can be done. Sensitivity adjusted at 4% means output impulses are
given when the difference in effective load becomes
