Configuring the Freedom SW using the SCP

Gen Support

GEN Support allows power to be automatically drawn from the batteries to assist an AC generator to support heavy loads (i.e., loads that exceed the available current from the generator).

Generators have a limited output current and it is possible to reach this limit when operating heavy loads. The Freedom SW is designed to assist the generator when heavy current demands load down the generator by supplying additional power from the batteries.

In addition, the battery charger can reduce its charging current to the batteries so the combined charge AC current and total load current does not exceed the capacity of the generator or trip its output breakers or fuses.

a. Applies to all Freedom SW models.

The Freedom SW supports the generator (or other power source) when the AC load current drawn from the generator exceeds the GenSup Amps setting for one to two seconds.

The system can enter this state if the battery voltage is above Low Battery CutOut (LBCO) plus 1 volt and generator support is enabled.
