Operation · Manual paralleling controller
For the Kohler 2000ROZD, from the Kohler operator's manual.
Applies to: Kohler 2000ROZD
Before you start
- Do not parallel two or more generator sets without load; reverse power can shut down one of the sets.
- If the load is less than 10% of the full-load rating of the first set, shut down the additional generator sets.
Procedure
- Start the first generator set as described in Local Starting.
- When the generator set reaches rated voltage and frequency, close the circuit breaker to the load.
- When the load is approximately 80% of the maximum rated load for the first set, start an additional generator set.
- When the incoming set reaches rated voltage and frequency, place the sync-light switch in the ON position.
- Use the speed potentiometer to adjust the incoming set frequency until the sync-lights darken from brightest to fully dark in a minimum of 20 seconds.
- After the sync-lights are dark for a minimum of 2 seconds, close the incoming generator set circuit breaker.
- Observe the wattmeters and adjust the speed potentiometer of the second set to share the load proportionally with the first set.
Specs & values
- Sync-lights bright to dark in a minimum of 20 seconds; dark for a minimum of 2 seconds before closing the breaker
