8272-394 provides kilowatt signal and readout meter drive (see manual 82350). sharing
8272-695 provides kilowatt readout signal which can be used as a generator load Input for speed,
signal to a meter, KW limiter, or other device; speed and phase match (SPM)
synchronizer input; and kilowatt error signal to be used as input to a speed control phase match
providing for isochronous load sharing, KW droop, and base loading application (see synchronizer
manual 82048).
Description
The Real Power Sensor is a solid state electronic device housed in a metal chassis
intended for installation in a prime mover control cabinet.
The unit contains its own power supply and is powered separately from the speed
control.
The Real Power Sensor constantly monitors the generator output voltage and
current with transformers. These transformers are selected to provide potential
voltage of 115 Vac or 230 Vac at nominal generator voltage. The current
transformers are selected to provide a 5 A secondary current at full generator output.
The Real Power Sensor provides a signal to the speed control that is proportional to
the output power of the generator.
