6.7.3 Volts per Hertz (Hz) Adjustments
(Droop)
When the frequency falls below the cut-in frequency
(see Figure 6-13), output voltage is reduced to relieve
the engine. The magnitude of the voltage reduction is
set by the 3P parameter. Monitor engine speed and
output voltage as loads are applied.
! If there is excessive droop in engine speed and little
droop in voltage, increase the 3P value.
! If there is little engine speed droop but excessive
voltage droop, decrease the 3P value.
! Readjust the voltage stability (2P) and voltage (1P)
parameters after adjusting the 3P setting, if
necessary. See the instructions in Section NO TAG.
! Remember to save your settings.
Each step of 3P changes the amount of voltage droop
approximately 0.5% of system voltage for each cycle
(Hz) below the cut-in frequency. See Figure 6-15.

6.7.4 Voltage Connections,
Single -Phase
Single-phase generator sets are available from the
factory connected for 110/220 volt 50 Hz or 120/240 volt
60 Hz. See Figure 6-16 for the factory connections.
These generator sets are not reconnectable.
