If at any time, supplemental power is required to augment the AC current then being generated by the first and second generators 42 and 44, the power management system 72 may be configured to draw DC current from the storage battery 78 through the power conditioner 80, wherein the DC current is converted to AC current by the DC to AC convertor 84, to the power switching module 74 which directs the supplement AC current to the power bus 76.
- the power management system 72 may be configured to again draw DC current from the storage battery 78 through the power conditioner 80, wherein the DC current is converted to AC current by the DC to AC convertor 84, to the power switching module 74 which directs the AC current to the power bus 76.
- the power management module 72 may also be configured to draw DC current from the storage battery 78 through the DC to DC conditioner 86, which may for example include a voltage step-up transformer and/or a voltage step-down transformer, to the power switching device 74 to be delivered to the power bus 76 for powering refrigeration system DC loads, such as for example, electronic controllers, computers, control valves.
- the DC to DC conditioner 86 may for example include a voltage step-up transformer and/or a voltage step-down transformer, to the power switching device 74 to be delivered to the power bus 76 for powering refrigeration system DC loads, such as for example, electronic controllers, computers, control valves.
