Gen Cool Down
Purpose The Gen Cool Down setting allows an interval to be set between a
generator stop trigger occurring and the Xantrex XW AGS actually
stopping the generator. This setting is used in Xantrex XW system to
unload the generator before the Xantrex XW AGS shuts it down. When a
stop trigger occurs, the Xantrex XW AGS enters a Generator cool down
state where it continues to run the generator for the specified time
period. At the same time the Xantrex XW Inverter/Charger will disconnect
the generator when it detects the Xantrex XW AGS in Generator Cool
Down, allowing the generator operate unloaded and cool down before it
is shut down.
This helps improves reliability of the generator by reducing temperature
peaking due to abrupt shut down of a loaded generator. It also reduces
the probability of the generator backfiring that typically happens when
the generator is abruptly shutdown while under heavy load. Gen Cool
Down applies to all stop triggers namely Stop V, Stop Load, Stop Float,
Stop Absorb, Stop Load, and Manual Off.
When to use This setting is automatically configured when a “Gen Type” is selected
for the generator. Customize the “Gen Cool Down” trigger on the advice
of the generator manufacturer or authorized service personnel.
