EXAMPLE: 
In the example above, bus tie breaker separates gen-sets into two groups. BTB is operated manually in this 
example.  If  BTB  is  opened,  each  control  group  is  working  independently.  If  the  BTB  closes,  controller 
number 3 sends signal via CAN bus and groups COMMON and 2 are connected together. One InteliMains 
(the  one  with  lower  CAN  address)  takes  over  and  controls  both  groups.  It  is  not  possible  to  use  both 
InteliMains parallel to the Mains when BTB is closed and InteliMains with lower CAN address takes over the 
control. In this case gen-sets are controlled only by this InteliMains and the second InteliMains does not have 
any means to control its parallel function. 
 
Load shedding 
All LOAD SHED outputs are activated (closed) to trip the unessential load when gen-set goes to island: 
a)  When GCB is closed after mains fail and gen-set starts in  SEM / AUT mode. 
b)  When MCB opens from parallel to mains operation in  SEM / AUT mode. 
c)  Before MCB is opened in MAN mode by button. 
 
The load shedding function is active in all controller modes except OFF. 
Load shedding has three steps and each step is linked with its own Load shed x binary output. There is only 
one load shed level and delay for all three steps as well as recon level and delay. Load shed can only move 
from one step to the next, e.g. No LoadShed to LdShed S1 to LdShed S2 to LdShed S3 and vice versa.  
If manual reconnection of the load is desired, the AutoLd recon setpoint needs to be disabled (AutoLd recon 
= DISABLED) and the MAN load recon binary input needs to be configured. 
Rising edge on this input resets the controller to a lower stage, but only if the load is under the Ld recon level 
at that moment.

HINT 
If no Load Shedding outputs are configured, there is no record to history and no scrren timer indication of the 
activity of this function.
