With typical settings as above, the tripping curve is followed as shown below.
This allows for overload of the set to the limits of the Typical Brushless Alternator whereby 110%
overload is permitted for 1 hour.
If the set load reduces, the controller then follows a cooling curve. This means that a second overload
condition may trip much sooner than the first as the controller knows if the windings have not cooled
sufficiently.
For further details on the Thermal damage curve of your alternator, you are referred to your alternator
manufacturer and generator supplier.
