Manual 26086 EGCP-2 Engine Generator Control Package
Woodward 121
Test A discrete input to the EGCP-2 which is used to start the
engine for test and initial start check out. The test input
is also used with the run with load or process inputs, and
a software setpoint, to put the EGCP-2 into a soft
transfer mode.
VAR/PF Control The ability to control a level of VAR or PF on a generator
while in parallel with the mains. The EGCP-2 has
VAR/PF control features which allow the user to set a
desired VAR or PF level on the generator while in
parallel with the mains. The VAR or PF level is
maintained by changing the excitation level of the
generator. This is accomplished by changing the voltage
reference level of the AVR from the EGCP-2.
VAR/PF Sharing The ability to share the VAR and PF load on multiple
units operating on an isolated bus. Like load sharing,
the EGCP-2 VAR/PF sharing measures the VARs of the
load on the isolated bus, and divides this value by the
total VAR capacity of the generators tied to the load. A
proportional VAR/PF level is then maintained between
all units tied to the load based on their rated VAR
capacity.
