Kohler 2000ROZD — Reactive Droop Compensation Adjustment Procedure (20--300 kW)

Adjustments · Reactive droop rheostat and voltage-sensing lead

For the Kohler 2000ROZD, from the Kohler operator's manual.

Applies to: Kohler 2000ROZD

Before you start

  • Read the entire procedure before beginning.

Procedure

  1. Set the generator set master switch to the OFF/RESET position.
  2. Set the reactive droop rheostat at minimum (full counterclockwise position).
  3. Move the voltage-sensing lead inside the controller from terminal V7 to terminal V9.
  4. Start the generator set and adjust the voltage to the rated system voltage using the voltage-adjusting potentiometer.
  5. Apply a resistive load (1.0 power factor) at rated current and adjust the reactive droop rheostat to achieve a 6%--8% droop in voltage.
  6. Remove the load from the generator set.
  7. Shut down the generator set by placing the master switch in the OFF/RESET position.
  8. Move the voltage-sensing lead inside the controller from terminal V9 to terminal V7. Repeat for additional generator sets.

Specs & values
