Case #3:
Gen-set 1 running hours = 250 -> running hours considered in RHE = 100 (150-RunHoursBase)
Gen-set 2 running hours = 450 -> running hours considered in RHE = 200 (250-RunHoursBase)
Gen-set 3 running hours = 750 -> running hours considered in RHE = 250 (500-RunHoursBase)
The gen-set 1 has the lowest RHE1 = 100 h. By applying the SwapTime formula, we get the run time
of gen-set 2 before next swapping:
SwapTimeG1 = 200
– 100 + 10 + 1 = 111
Till the step 5, the evolution of the gen-set swapping is the same as in the case #1, just gen-set 1 and
gen-set 2 involve. In the step 6 the gen-set 2 can run only 17 hours (previously 22 hours) because the
gen-set 3 involves. The evolution of RHE1, RHE2 and RHE3 is shown on the figure below.

Setting
Pwr management:
#RunHrsMaxDiff
= 5 does not mean that gen-sets swap every 5 hours.
The Swap time is determined by the formula stated above. Please read the entire chapter Running
hours equalization for better understanding.
In the case
Pwr management:
#RunHrsMaxDiff
is set to 0 and all gen-set in the group are at the
same initial point (RHE are equal), the gen-set swapping happens every hour.
