Generator input on 3 parallel quattro's single phase

Hi, I have 3 quattro's in single phase giving 45kw. I want to connect a generator of about 8kw. Can i connect it to AC in 2 on just one quattro or does it need to be accross all three equally? If so can i turn the power down enough so i don't trip the genny


thanks


Dave

you would need to connect the generator input to all 3 units using same size and length of cabling. If you have a gx device you can set the input current limit desired for the generator and the gx device will do the math between the quartos. With no gx device you will need to set the current limit individually in each quattro. Each quattro will need to be set to 1/3 of the desired input current limit.

yes you can turn the ac power in limit down if you cant get it low enough then turn off power assist in all 3 inverters using ve Bus system configure. This will then allow you to lower the ac in amps further.

try it and see if that works ok with your system
