Abstract: A method of operating a generator set is disclosed. The method includes generating a current using a generator set, and stepping down the generated current to a stepped down current, using an internal current transformer. The method includes measuring the stepped down current using a current meter that may generate a current signal representative of the stepped down current. Further, the method includes generating a root-mean-square (RMS) value using a plurality of current values associated with the current signal. The method also includes generating a modified RMS value, using the current values that are greater than a predetermined current value. The method includes determining a measured value of the current generated by the generator set based on the RMS value and the modified RMS value. In addition, the method includes adjusting an operation of the generator set when the measured value exceeds an over-current threshold.

Abstract: A method of setting up a genset system for operation includes selecting one of a plurality of different sensors to monitor an operating parameter of a genset system, and coupling the selected sensor with a data processor of the genset system. The method further includes configuring the data processor for processing inputs from the selected sensor, for example an optional replacement sensor, by entering custom sensor calibration data for the selected sensor and recording the custom sensor calibration data on at least one computer writable medium of a control system for the genset system. A genset system includes a combustion engine, a generator, a set of standard sensors, and a control system. The control system includes a data processor configured to receive and process inputs from custom sensors, and includes a computer writable medium for storing custom sensor calibration data.

Abstract: The invention is a method for a cylinder cutout system in a compression ignition engine utilizing a plurality of electronic unit injectors. An electronic controller, in communication with the compression ignition engine, is configured to receive a plurality of sensor signals indicative of current engine operating parameters. In response to the received signals, the electronic controller produces an injector signal. Included in each of the electronic unit injectors is a solenoid, that when activated in response to the injector signal received from the electronic controller, will facilitate injection of fuel to a corresponding cylinder. A predetermined plurality of the electronic unit injectors will be deactivated in response to the injector signal.

Abstract: A control system for controlling an internal combustion engine is disclosed. The control system employs closed loop engine speed control and includes a primary and secondary engine speed sensor. An electronic control module detects a failure of the primary or secondary sensor and causes the other sensor to be used as the engine speed feedback signal in the closed loop control.
