This diversion is performed by a shunt regulator, and allows a load to be kept on the alternator or generator. 3, record 1, English, - dump%20load
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 1 CONT
Maintaining a near-constant load on the turbine generates stable voltage and frequency. The controller compensates for variation in the main load by automatically varying the amount of power dissipated in a resistive load, generally known as the "ballast" or "dump load," in order to keep the total load on the generator and turbine constant. Water heaters are generally used as ballast loads. 4, record 1, English, - dump%20load

Appareil, nommément un chauffe-eau, employé pour délester l'énergie provenant d'une génératrice éolienne lorsque les batteries du système sont pleinement rechargées et qu'elles ne peuvent, par conséquent, plus être alimentées. 3, record 1, French, - charge%20de%20d%C3%A9lestage
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 1 CONT
Le maintien d'une charge presque constante à la turbine permet à la génératrice de produire un courant dont la tension et la fréquence sont stables. Le régulateur compense toute variation dans les charges principales en modifiant automatiquement la quantité d'électricité dissipée dans une charge résistive, généralement appelée «charge de délestage» ou «charge de lissage», afin de maintenir constante la demande totale exigée de la génératrice et de la turbine. La charge de délestage est généralement constituée d'un chauffe-eau. 4, record 1, French, - charge%20de%20d%C3%A9lestage
