FULLY AUTOMATIC BACKUP GENERATOR SYSTEM Larry Casson Drummond Co. Inc.
METHODS OF APPLYING POWER GENERATORS • STAND ALONE GENERATOR(S) • One or more generators provide all the real power (KW) and reactive power (KVAR) required by the load. Paralleling generators require KW and KVAR sharing. • BASE LOADING • One or more generators providing constant real output power (KW) and reactive power (KVAR). May be expressed as power (KW) and power factor (PF).

WHY USE GENERATORS • BACKUP POWER SYSTEM • REDUCE POWER SYSTEM LOADING • HELP STABILIZE VOLTAGE
