    How to fix unstable load sharing in Deif Control Unit?
    • N
      Nancy WrightAug 15, 2025
      To correct unstable load sharing or parallel with mains power control on your Deif Control Unit, where synchronization is OK and single generator frequency control is also OK, apply a 3-4% speed drop on the prime mover governor. The instability is likely due to the generators lacking speed droop.

      Terry DavidsonAug 18, 2025
      To fix unstable load sharing or parallel with mains voltage (var) control in your Deif Control Unit, where synchronization is OK and single generator voltage control is also OK, apply a 3-4% voltage drop on the generator AVR. The issue is likely due to the generators lacking voltage droop.

    What to do if load sharing is not equal in Deif Control Unit?
    • R
      Renee CarterAug 21, 2025
      If your Uni-line active power load sharing Deif Control Unit has stable but unequal load sharing, and synchronization and single generator frequency control are OK, remount the load sharers to match the generators. This issue can occur when load sharers are mounted to control the wrong size generators. Note that load sharers are pre-configured for a specific generator.

    What causes unequal var load sharing in Deif Control Unit?
    • R
      Robert ParkerAug 25, 2025
      If your Uni-line reactive power load sharing Deif Control Unit has stable but unequal var load sharing, and synchronization and single generator voltage control are OK, remount the var load sharers to match the generators. This problem can arise if var load sharers are mounted to control the wrong size generators, as they are preconfigured for specific generators.

      heather78Aug 27, 2025
      If your Uni-line active power load sharing Deif Control Unit has unstable load sharing or parallel with mains power control, and synchronization and single generator frequency control are OK, check the connections of the measuring voltage and/or current transformer input. Correct the connections by ensuring voltage is on L1 and L2, and the current transformer is in L1.

      Eric HallAug 30, 2025
      If your Uni-line reactive power load sharing Deif Control Unit has unstable var load sharing or parallel with mains var control, and synchronization and single generator voltage control are OK, check the connections of the measuring voltage and/or current transformer input and/or voltage transducer. Ensure voltage is connected to L1 and L2, the current transformer is in L1, and the voltage transducer is connected to US-line (term. 38 (+) and 39 (-)).

    Why does speed decrease instead of increase in Deif Control Unit?
    • P
      Peter KrauseSep 2, 2025
      If the speed decreases when an increase was expected with relay outputs on your Deif Control Unit, the relay outputs ‘up’ and ‘down’ may be reversed. Swap the connections to resolve this.

    What to do if speed decreases unexpectedly in Deif Control Unit?
    • A
      Amanda SanchezSep 5, 2025
      If the speed decreases when an increase was expected with analogue output on your Deif Control Unit, the outputs ‘+’ and ‘-‘ may be reversed. Swap the connections to correct this.

    Why generator not taking full load in Deif Control Unit?
    • E
      esmithSep 8, 2025
      If the generator is not able to take load to 100% with your Deif Control Unit, there could be a couple of reasons: * The initial setting of the speed governor may not be correct. Refer to the chapters regarding governor/AVR checks. * The analogue output from the DEIF equipment may have too low output range. Increase the full scale value, especially when using electronic potentiometers.

    How to stop engine overspeeding in Deif Control Unit?
    • A
      Adam BurkeSep 12, 2025
      If the engine overspeeds when starting up with your Deif Control Unit, the regulator output may be too high. Decrease the analogue output signal by decreasing the resistor.
