Tool Used to
Active load bank(s)*
Measure speed droop
Tune governors
Fully test generation capacity
Reactive load bank(s)*
Measure voltage droop
Tune AVRs
Fully test generation capacity
*Note: Load banks are optional. They are only required if the loads available during commissioning are small compared to the
generation capacity.
INFO
The controller's analogue output, to control the governor or AVR, can be selected to be either voltage or current.
You therefore do not need a set of resistors to convert a current output to a voltage output.
