ESD5111 GAC Alternative Speed Controller
The ESD5111 GAC Alternative Speed Controller is part of the system that holds a generator engine at constant speed, and so the output at constant frequency.
About this part
When speed control fails, the engine hunts, overspeeds or cannot pick up load, and the frequency drifts out of tolerance.
Features
- Isochronous Operation ±0.25 % or better
- Speed Range /Governor 1 K - 7.5 K Hz Continuous
- Speed Drift with Temperature ±0.5 % Typical
- Idle Adjust CW MIN 1200 Hz Below set speed
- Idle Adjust CCW MIN. 4100 Hz Below set speed
- Droop Range 1 - 5 % Regulation
- Droop Adj. MAX (K-L Jumpered) 875 Hz., ±75 Hz per 1.0 A change
- Droop Adj. MIN (K-L Jumpered) 15 Hz., ±6 Hz per 1.0 A change
When to replace it
- Engine speed hunting or surging
- Frequency drifting under load
- Engine will not reach rated speed
- Overspeed shutdowns
Before you order
Match the controller to the actuator and supply voltage, and set gain and stability with the engine running, first off load and then with a load step.
Match the number stamped on the part you are removing, or the number in your engine or alternator manual, before ordering. Part numbers are shown for reference so the right replacement can be identified.
Questions
What is a droop kit for?
Droop lets engines share load when generators run in parallel, by letting speed fall slightly as load rises.
