When the generator is paralleled to the mains, it will be controlled according to the mains power export set point. If AVR control is
used, then the set point will either be adjusted power factor or reactive power (7050 Fixed power set).

2.4.12 Mains power transducer
In applications where export/load takeover is used (mains power export, peak shaving, load takeover), it is necessary to know the
power flow on the primary side of the mains breaker. When one controller is used for the application or if a transducer signal is
preferred in a power management system, it is possible to use multi-input 102 or CIO 308 1.14 for this purpose.
Below is a single line diagram where a TAS-331 DG transducer is used for measuring the voltage and current before the mains
breaker, this is used to calculate the power and based upon this gives a 4-20 mA output.

How to set up
As mentioned, it is necessary to use multi-input 102 or CIO 308 1.14 for this purpose.
Set up the input for 4-20 mA, and define the range of the transducer in parameter 7261 and 7262. The range is defined with a min.
and max. setting where the min. setting corresponds to 4 mA and the max. setting to 20 mA.
