1.3.7 Power Split Feature
The Power Split feature allows you to connect the power system controlled via the ACU+ to an existing DC
power system instead of extending or completely replacing the existing DC power system.
The power system controlled via the ACU+ functions as a slave system to share load (split output) with the
existing system (master system) that requires expansion. The ACU+ does not require communication with
the master system’s Controller.
The Power Split feature provides for the sharing of total load in a controlled manner between the
paralleled power systems.
When Power Split is programmed, the ACU+ adjusts rectifier output voltage per load demands to ensure
proper sharing between the slave and master power systems. See Figure 5.

1.3.8 Diesel Management Feature

performed at specific intervals or a User can manually start the Diesel Test. The ACU+ records the test
results.
