ENGINEERING BOUNDARY
Selection is system-specific
- Not a blanket marine, flag or class approval claim
- Governor, AVR, CAN, sensors, I/O and breaker logic must be confirmed
- Mains functions are applied to shore-source arrangements only where the vessel design permits
- Programming, drawings, panel build, testing and commissioning scope are quotation-specific

GENERATOR CONTROL FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Current-model guidance and the information ERBA needs before confirming a marine generator control solution.
Projects requiring generator-to-shore or mains paralleling, or a configurable route to generator-to-generator load sharing. Final suitability depends on the complete generator, engine, breaker, bus, source and project-document requirements.
The DSE8610 MKII is ERBA’s core current choice for generator-to-generator synchronising and load sharing. DSE8620 MKII, DSE8660 MKII and DSE8680 cover different shore or mains, ATS and bus-tie roles, while the DSEG8-Series is considered for more complex systems.
Yes, as a technical retrofit enquiry. Send the existing controller model, panel photographs, wiring drawings, engine and alternator details, breaker arrangement and required operating sequence. A replacement is not assumed to be pin-compatible until the interfaces are checked.
The current DSE products shown are generator-control products that may be selected for marine generator projects. Vessel, flag, classification, EMC, enclosure and documentation requirements must be reviewed for the specific installation; the page does not claim blanket marine approval.
Provide generator quantity and rating, voltage/phase/frequency, engine and alternator details, DC supply, sensor or CAN interface, breakers and bus arrangement, shore or mains source, required communications, panel dimensions, existing drawings and delivery location.
Configuration, panel integration, drawings, testing, commissioning support and included accessories vary by project. ERBA’s written quotation will state the exact controller, programming and supply scope; no default commissioning scope is implied by the catalogue page.
