Abstract

A system for connecting one of a plurality of parallel connected generator sets to a common bus. The system includes a separate module associated with each of the plurality of generator sets. When a control module receives a ready-to-load signal from the generator set, each of the control modules performs a similar connection method which determines which of the modules will send a first-start command to its associated generator.
