35 - Load Shedding
The Load Shedding function allows you to manage malfunctions on systems that can work thanks
to the energy produced by renewable and local energy sources, in particular a lack of power,
e.g. due to a malfunction on the MV voltage side.
The function is available in two versions:
Basic is supplied with all Ekip Touch Trip units
Adaptive can be purchased with the relative additional package that is available for all
Trip units equipped with the Measuring Measurement package, excluding Ekip M Touch
All the parameters and measurements of the function are available via Ekip Connect, while the
Trip unit allows setting and viewing some of them, as noted below.
IMPORTANT: for full details see the Technical Catalog (see page 4) or the
function's White Paper (see page 12).
Some function configuration parameters are available In the Settings - Load Shedding menu
(page 29).
NOTE: it is advisable to first configure the parameters via Ekip Connect, and only then
operate on the Trip unit

NOTE: with the Basic version the only parameter available
is Reconnection Timeout
Defines if the microgrid includes a solar system (Off/On)
Available with Solar System Present = On, defines the rated power of
your solar system.
The value is expressed in kW, which can be set in a range:
100 kW .. 65535 kW with 1 kW steps
Defines if the system has an ATS system (Off/On)
Available with ATS = On, it defines the power received from the ATS
branch, which can be set in a range:
0 kW (. . . .) .. 10000 kW with 1 kW steps
Defines the variation of real-time frequency that triggers Load
shedding
The value is expressed in (Hz/s), which can be set in a range:
0.6 Hz/s .. 10 Hz/s with 0.2 Hz/s steps
Minimum frequency control threshold that activates Load shedding
The value is expressed in an absolute value (Hertz), which can be set
in a range: 0.9 Fn .. 1.1 Fn with 0.001 Fn steps
Defines the time used by the Trip unit between the one load and the
next, following the re-closure of the main CB.
The value is expressed in (s), which can be set in a range:
10 s ..1800 s with 1 s steps
NOTE: Load shedding is activated if the control conditions defined by the Frequency
slope and FW Warning parameters are simultaneously present
