Mode of Operation of the Generator
A.2.2 Compensation of 1 phases engines
If inductive electrical consumers are connected, then there is a phase shift between current and
voltage; the portion of the blind current becomes larger. This effect meets by automatic activating
of additional capacitors and compensates the idle current. This compensation of the inductive
consumers causes that the efficiency of the generator is increased. By the automatic compensation
can more engines or a larger electrical load with an inductive character be operated. In other
words: the usable power of the generator is increased.
A.2.3 Compensation of 3 phases engines
See „Bimetallic Corrosion (Electrolysis)“ in the appendix.
A.3 Operation of the generator with additional units
A.3.1 General references
The Panda generator is arranged that the operation of additional aggregates, which are flanged
on directly to the front cover of the generator, is possible. If such aggregates are intended, this - if
possible - should be considered with the order of the generator. With the mounting of additional
hydraulic pumps the employment of an electrical separation clutch is always recommended. The
appropriate components are available for the different generator types. It is caused that the additional
hydraulic pump is in operation even if it is actually used.
Depending upon power of the additionally appropriate aggregates the power is reduced, which
can put the combustion engine to the generator at the disposal.
