The begining of this thread was about trying to overload the genset with resistive load.
You cant get to the overload current trip point with resistive load only, period.
5.5 kw is the spec limit for kW load, nothing to do with reactive load, current load or overload.
MIL DTL 53133 says to...
Spec limits on Max power (kW) is 110% of rated kW on all TQG sets. Over load is current.
So if you can get 5.5 kW then the set is operating as it was designed to.
I hate to tell you but you now know nothing.
The overload trip is over current if you use a resistive load bank then you would have to put to much resistive load on the set to get to the over current level.
The over current trip point is 130% of rated current and the relay trips in 8 +/- 2...
