Changing the Warm-Up Time for the Generator

2049622028

The basic procedure for changing operating parameters is explained in another section ( > Changing Operating Parameters).

Relation between warm-up time and termination of generator start:

The generator management measures the time between the generator start and the beginning of the warm-up time. If a maximum time is exceeded, the generator management system terminates the generator start. The maximum time to start termination is double the warm-up time plus an additional 2 minutes.

With some generator types, the generator only switches the voltage to the output of the generator after the internal warm-up time has expired. During this time, the generator management is unable to recognize a valid generator voltage. If the warm-up time is set too low, the generator management terminates the generator start before the internal warm-up time has expired.

Procedure:

  1. Select Generator > Operation.
  2. For a generator without internal warm-up time, set the Warm-up time of generator parameter to the required warm-up time.
  3. For a generator with internal warm-up time, set the Warm-up time of generator parameter to at least half of the generator's internal warm-up time.
  4. Set the parameter Warm-up time of generator in accordance with the generator properties.
