Prime mover load control on multi-speed generator set
A generator set for a transport climate control unit is provided that is operable at a first frequency and a second frequency. The generator set includes a generator, a prime mover configured to operate at a first non-zero speed and a second non-zero speed that is less than the first non-zero speed, and a genset controller configured to control operation of the generator set. When operating at the first non-zero speed, the genset controller is configured to monitor a prime mover load parameter to determine whether the prime mover is approaching or has exceeded an overload or stall situation. The genset controller is configured to reduce the speed of the prime mover from the first non-zero speed to the second non-zero speed to prevent the overload or stall situation.
APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING ELECTRICAL LOADS OF VEHICLE
Disclosed are an apparatus and a method for controlling electrical loads of a vehicle. The apparatus may include a high-voltage load that receives a high voltage from a high-voltage battery to perform an operation thereof, a low-voltage load that receives a low voltage from a low-voltage battery to perform an operation thereof, and a controller that mutually organically controls an output of the high-voltage load and an output of the low-voltage load based on a control level set by a user.
