INFO
To make the effect of asymmetric P load sharing clearer, the asymmetric P load sharing
Minimum
in this example is higher
than the default (5 %).
Example: Increasing load, equal P load sharing

Points on graph
1. Genset A runs with load. The load increases but does not pass the load-
dependent start set point. Asymmetric P load sharing is irrelevant, since
there are no gensets to load share with.
2. Genset A reaches the load-dependent start set point. The controller
starts Genset B.
3. Genset B is connected and starts taking load.
4. Genset A and Genset B share the load equally. Asymmetric P load
sharing is not used because it would require Genset B to run under the
asymmetric P load sharing minimum (set at 30 % in this example).
