The system shall compare current generator on-line capacity (in kW) to current load requirements. If surplus capacity is greater than the calculated Load Add setpoint, after the Load Add Time Delay the next Load Shed Priority shall be added. This calculation shall continue until all Sheddable Loads are added, or until surplus capacity is less than the calculated Load Add setpoint. If surplus capacity is less than the calculated Load Shed setpoint, after the Load Shed Time Delay the next Load Shed Priority shall be shed. This calculation shall continue until all Sheddable Loads are shed, or until surplus capacity is greater than the calculated Load Shed setpoint. The Load Shed Control, in its automatic shedding and adding of loads, shall not override any manual load shed/add operation.

Should the load bus frequency fall below the user selected bus 6.underfrequency setpoint for a period longer than the bus underfrequency time delay, then all Priority Level loads shall be shed and load addition shall not resume until the operator has depressed the Bus Underfrequency Reset button.
