Generators
KW Load Sensor:
Electrical equipment; Generators
The kW load sensor is an electronic device provided to sense kW level at various points in a system, for use in control functions within the system, such as kW load alarms, or load demand.
Lagging Power Factor
Electrical equipment; Generators
Lagging power factor in AC circuits (a power factor of less than 1.0) is caused by inductive loads, such as motors and transformers, which cause the current to lag behind the voltage.
Lead Unit
Electrical equipment; Generators
In a paralleling system that has a load demand feature, the lead unit is the last unit to be shut down in the event that load demand mode is in operation.
Leg
Electrical equipment; Generators
A leg is a phase winding of a generator, or a phase conductor of a distribution system.
Line-To-Line Voltage
Electrical equipment; Generators
Line-to-line voltage is the voltage between any two phases of an AC generator.
Line-To-Neutral Voltage
Electrical equipment; Generators
In a 3-phase, 4-wire, Y-connected generator, line-to-neutral voltage is the voltage between a phase and the common neutral where the three phases are tied together.
