Working Principle
The controller continuously samples voltage, current, frequency, and engine parameters via analog and digital inputs. It executes programmed logic to adjust fuel and excitation, ensuring stable power output while triggering protective shutdowns if parameters exceed safe limits.
Installation Requirements
Must be installed in non-hazardous locations. Field wiring must be rated for at least 90°C, and the protective earth (PE) terminal must be securely connected.
Precautions for Use
Ensure all wiring complies with local electrical codes. Regularly test safety protection functions during scheduled maintenance to guarantee system reliability.
