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.
