BATTERY CHARGER General data

INTRODUCTION

3. 4. 5. 6.

The Rectifier-Battery Charger (RTB_e) is a static thyristor AC/DC converter, controlled by a 16-bit microprocessor. The control is full digital and the structure of the software is open. This allows us to configure the system and to modify its operation according to the customers Technical Specification (ST).

TECHNICAL CHARACTERISTICS

GENERAL DESCRIPTION

For technical characteristics see the attached data sheet.

The RTB_e rectifier converts the alternate voltage in the input, with frequency and amplitude variable according to the ST, into a continuous output voltage that is stabilized in voltage and controlled in current, by means of a three-phase SCR rectifier bridge (6 pulses version) or a couple of bridges connected in parallel (12 pulses version). The galvanic isolation of the input mains (when required by the ST) is carried out by means of a transformer. Additional protection against power surges, under and over voltage are included as a standard. Optionally we can provide a grounded screen between the and secondary windings and semiconductor fast transient protection devices (varistors). A programmable soft-start, reducing the inrush current of the rectifier during the start up, is included as a standard. The system is provided with an alphanumeric display interface and keyboard (front panel) for the programming of the parameters and the visualisation of the measurements. Also RS232 for PC remote and RS485 (MODBUS protocol) interfaces are available. In Manual Regulation mode it is possible to set the output rectifier voltage by means of external potentiometers. In this modality a maximum current limitation (to be set) is also active. The transfer command AUTOMATIC/MANUAL and vice-versa is activated by means of key on the front panel; it is also possible to carry out the same command through the remote PC. The front panel shows the operating status of the equipment, all the measures, the alarms and settings. The memory history can store up to 500 events in a non volatile memory with calendar. The system can be interfaced with similar equipment through a digital link for parallel operation with the equal sharing of the load (+/5% tolerance) and automatic exclusion of the faulty unit. The different parts composing a standard Rectifier-Battery Charger are: 1. Input MCCB and output Load switch (battery breaker in option) 2. Insulation transformer 2 of 14

PROGRAMMING AND PARAMETER SETTING

The parameter menu on the front panel allows to adjust the various intervention thresholds for the alarms and the status changes of the equipment. In alternative the programming can be carried out by PC connected to the serial port RS232, using the dedicated software. At the end of the setting the modified parameters must be memorized in the nonvolatile memory (EEPROM).

ALARMS, STATUS AND SIGNALS

The RTB_e control system offers the following list of alarms and statuses to help the user to better understand the status of the Rectifier and Battery. For the complete description of the alarms and statuses below mentioned see the chapter FRONT PANEL of the Operating Manual.

The front panel main functions are: - Show all the relevant input and output current, voltage and frequency measures - Show all the alarms and status of the RTB_e - Set all the relevant functional parameters and set-points - Show the events history The following remote connections are also available: 1. Through an RS232 protocol 2. Through a ModBus RS485 protocol A periodical programmable automatic test of the status of the batteries is also possible. In case of mains fault the RTB_e can provide a signalling (optical or through free contacts) of up to four pre-programmed discharging levels of the battery (voltage relay function).

BATTERY CHARGER FUNCTIONS

When the RTB_e is used as rectifier and battery charger it can carry out the following functions (selectable according to the requirements of the ST): 7.1 AUTOMATIC RECHARGE OF THE BATTERY

When selected the rectifier recharges the battery automatically, according to the predefined modalities. The recharging cycle begins consequently according to one of the following events (which are programmable): Mains failure for a period longer than the programmed value Intervention of the current threshold. Intervention of the voltage threshold.

BATTERY CHARGER General data Timed boost charge The predefined cycles can be programmed in the Menu Parameters. 7.1.1 Recharge IU according to the DIN 41773 standard The recharge is divided in two different phases: Phase 1: the current is constant and the voltage increases. Phase 2: the current decreases and the voltage is constant. When the recharging current goes below a certain value the battery is assumed fully recharged and the cycle ends. Consequently the output voltage is set at the floating level. During the floating the battery voltage is controlled as minimum value in order to avoid undesirable discharges, and as maximum value in order to avoid excessive heating of the electrolyte. The thermal compensation of the floating voltage in function of the battery temperature can be added as an option. taken back to floating. If this does not happen within the max. programmed time, the safety timer blocks the charge and the voltage is forced to floating. This event generates an alarm.

7.1.2 I1 I2 U recharge This recharge is used mainly for Ni-Cd batteries. During the recharge a boost charge of approx. 125% is provided, to compensate the losses in discharge and recharge of the battery (estimated in approx. 25%). The recharge works as follows: If the mains fails for a time longer than the programmable threshold, when the mains returns the output voltage of the rectifier switches to a level higher than the floating, called boost charge and a safety timer is activated. If the recharging current exceeds the programmed threshold, normally a certain percent of C10, the voltage is maintained and a first phase of boost charge starts, where the current is constant and the voltage is increasing. After a certain time the current starts to decrease and the voltage remains constant at the boost charge level. This is the second phase of the boost charge. Finally, when the current go down below the programmed level for the return in floating, the output voltage of the rectifier is 4 of 14

7.1.3 U1 U2 I recharge This recharge is used mainly for Ni-Cd batteries. During the recharge a boost charge of approx. 125% is provided, to compensate the losses in discharge and recharge of the battery (estimated in approx. 25%). The recharge works as follows: If the mains fails for a time which is longer than the programmable threshold, when the mains returns the output voltage of the RTB_e switches to a level higher than the floating, called boost charge and a safety timer is activated. If the recharging voltage doesnt exceed the programmed crossing threshold, normally a certain percent of the floating, the voltage is maintained and a first phase of boost charge starts, where the current is constant and the voltage is increasing. After a certain time the recharging voltage reaches the programmed level for the second phase of boost charge; a timer is started and the battery is kept under boost charge conditions for the time programmed. After this time has elapsed the output voltage of the rectifier is switched back to the floating value. If this does not happen within the maximum programmed time, the safety timer block the charge and the voltage is forced to floating. This event generates an alarm.

The recharge works as follows: If the mains fails for a time longer than the programmable threshold, when the mains returns the output voltage of the rectifier switches to a level higher than the floating, called boost charge for a pre-programmed time. The boost charge command can also be associated to an external command.

MANUAL RECHARGE

The manual recharge of the battery, called also of forming or of equalizing is a function offered by the RTB_e that allows the operator to carry out a recharge under his own manual control. This modality of recharge can be used to form the battery after that it has been stocked for a long period, or after that the electrolyte has been filled up, in the case of batteries having been shipped dry, or in order to equalize the voltage of the battery cells after having been used for a certain period. The manual recharge procedure is described in detail in the relevant menu of the FRONT PANEL chapter of the Operating Manual. Generally, when manual recharge is selected it is possible to change manually the output voltage by means of a potentiometer to vary the recharging battery current. Such current is however always limited to a pre-selectable maximum value.

Picture 7 RTB_e in parallel with two separated batteries

PARALLEL REDUNDANT OPERATION

Two rectifiers can operate in parallel redundant configuration, connected through blocking diodes to a single DC bus-bar, where the DC loads and one or two battery banks are connected.

The rectifiers are connected by means of a communication cable, through which all the information necessary for the current sharing and the alarms management are exchanged. During the floating charge each RTB_e supply the 50% of the total load (Active Current Sharing), therefore in case of failure of one unit the load is supplied by the remaining rectifier without affecting the DC bus-bar. During a mains failure the batteries supply the necessary energy. The battery charging cycle is automatically started upon the mains return; during the current limitation phase (operation as current generator) the current is completely supplied by the RTB_e #1, whereas the RTB_e #2 follows the DC busbar voltage without supplying any current. In case of failure of the RTB_e #1 the load is supplied by the RTB_e #2, still operative, without affecting the DC bus-bar. At the end of the current limitation phase the Active Current Sharing control is restored. In case two batteries are connected to the DC bus-bar the recharge is carried out limiting the battery that absorbs the highest current. The Active Current Sharing and the current limitation on the double battery are automatically enabled or disabled according to the position of 5 of 14

INTRODUCTION

The purpose of this manual is to briefly describe the parts of the RTB.e, and to guide the electrician or user for the correct installation of the equipment on site. The electrician or the user will have to read and carry out correctly the instructions given in this manual, with particolar attention to the safety requirements in compliance with the CEI 64-8 standards and the DPR 46-90. The manufacturer declines any responsability of damage to people or things, deriving from the non-fulfilment of the instructions. The RTB.e system consists in one 6 pulse rectifier with SCR (thyristor) technology developed as per Technical Specification 46-TMSS-02 rev. 0, as supply system for continuous loads and battery-charger. For this purpose the manual must be integrated with the Technical Drawings (TD), the Technical Specification 46-TMSS-02 rev. 0 (TS) and the Data Sheet (DS) to be applied with the RTB.e system. As all the functions of control and regulation are carried out completely digitally, by means of the use of a 16 bit microprocessor, the user interface, which is the front panel, allows to vary all the operating parameters such as the output voltage, the max. battery current and so on. We recommend expert personnel to carry out such functions. In order to protect the system from wrong programming the menus are protected by password. The password is different for each system and will be communicated to the user during the installation.

RTB.e GENERAL DESCRIPTION

2.1 TYPOLOGY The RTB.e rectifier converts the alternate voltage in the input, 480Vac 3Ph 60Hz, into a continuous output voltage 125Vdc that is stabilized in voltage and controlled in current, by means of a three-phase SCR rectifier bridge (6 pulses version). The galvanic isolation of the input mains is carried out by means of a power transformer DY11 480/131Vac 3Ph 60Hz. ATTENTION The RTB.e can be connected to a battery system and therefore supplied during the absence of mains . Ensure that no voltages are present, both alternate than continuous, before operating inside the RTB.e equipment. 2.1.1 Basic structure The RTB.e basic structure, which is documented in the TD drawings, is the following: The input mains is filtered by the high frequency emission filter (EMI), protected by the input surge suppressor (MOV) and enters the primary of the input transformer T1, trough the Q1-RICB breaker. Both the syncronization signals for the control of the SCR firing angle and the measurement of the input currents are taken from the auxiliary transformer T9 and T10 connected to the primary side of input transformer T1. The supply voltage for the control logics (redounded from the battery) is taken from the secondary side. The SCR bridge is connected to the secondary by means of the proctection fuses. The control logic mounted in the rack named DR16 is composed by the following boards: BP-DR16 PS-DR16 DR16-COMP Cod. N_TR3004 Cod. N_TR3005 Cod. N_TR3006 Interconnection panel Power supply Control board (CPU)

The firing of the SCRs is controlled by the DR16 board and is carried out by means of the board: RTF Cod. N_TR3002 SCR firing board

The rectified and controlled voltage is filtered by the group L1 (series chokes), C1 (parallel capacitor), calculated in function of the maximum ripple allowed in the TS.

RTB.e general description and installation At the output of that group, the feedback voltage for the voltage control is taken upstream the blocking diode DB; the measurement of the total output current (for the total limitation) is always carried out by the lem U1 and the discharge and recharge current by the lem U2 and voltage of the battery are also measured. The RTB.e output is connected to the DC distribution input Q5-QGD switch by means of the Q2-ROCB switch. The DC distribution is connected to the Battery Fuse Box by means of Q7-BCB switch.

Picture 1 Drawing of principles

2.1.2 Protection The main protections of the RTB.e are listed below: The thermal protection of the brigde is carried out both by thermoswitches, which are placed on each heat sink, and by calculation of the thermal image. The thermal image is calculated measuring the output current. If it exceeds by 100% the nominal current but remains lower than 120%, the overload is accepted for 20 minutes before the RTB.e is stopped. Over 120% normally the output current limitation intervenes and the RTB.e works as a current generator. If the output current is between 120 % and 150 % the overcurrent is accepted for 2 minutes before the RTB.e is stopped. Above 150% the overcurrent is accepted for 20 seconds only. The electrical protection of the bridges is carried out by means of a fuses placed on each input phase and in series to the SCR. In addition, the ouput current limitation limits the peak current supplied by the each SCR. The correct value of the supplied voltages is checked by means of the double measurement of the output and battery voltage. Moreover the correct operation of the control loop is also verified. Each step of the battery recharge is controlled and supervised by a safety timer.

BATTERY CHARGER FUNCTIONS

The RTB.e used as rectifier and battery charger can carry out the following functions according to the requirements of the ST and DS: 3.1 AUTOMATIC RECHARGE OF THE BATTERY 3.1.1 Automatic recharge of the battery The automatic recharging cycle begins consequently according to one of the following events (which are programmable): Mains failure for a longer period than the programmed value Intervention of the current threshold. Intervention of the voltage threshold. The predefined cycles can be programmed in the Menu Parameters. The automatic recharging cycle is programmed for intervention of current threshold. 3.1.2 Recharge IU according to the DIN 41773 standard The recharge undergoes to phases: Phase 1: the current is constant and the voltage increases. Phase 2: the current decreases and the voltage is constant. When the recharging current goes below a certain value the battery is assumed fully recharged and the cycle ends. Consequently the output voltage is set at the floating level. During the floating the battery voltage is controlled as minimum value in order to avoid undesirable discharges, and towards as maximum value in order to avoid excessive heating of the electrolyte. The thermal compensation of the floating voltage in function of the battery temperature can be added as an option.

RTB.e general description and installation 3.1.3 I1 I2 U recharge This recharge is used mainly for Ni-Cd batteries. During the recharge a boost charge of approx. 125% is provided, to compensate the losses in discharge and recharge of the battery (estimated in approx. 25%). The recharge works as follows: If the mains fails for a time which is longer than the programmable threshold, when the mains returns the output voltage of the RTB.e is taken to a higher level than the floating, called boost charge and a safety timer is activated. If the recharging current exceeds the programmed crossing threshold, normally a certain percent of C10, the voltage is maintained and a first phase of boost charge starts, in which the current is constant and the voltage is increasing. After a certain time the current starts to decrease and the voltage remains constant at the level of boost charge. This is the second phase of the boost charge. Finally, when the current goes below the programmed level for the return in floating, the output voltage of the RTB.e is taken back to floating. If this does not happen within the max. programmed time, the safety timer intervenes and the voltage is forced to floating. This event generates an alarm.

3.1.4 U1 U2 I recharge This recharge is used mainly for Ni-Cd batteries. During the recharge a boost charge of approx. 125% is provided, to compensate the losses in discharge and recharge of the battery (estimated in approx. 25%). The recharge works as follows: If the mains fails for a time which is longer than the programmable threshold, when the mains returns the output voltage of the RTB.e is taken to a higher level than the floating, called boost charge and a safety timer is activated. If the recharging voltage doesnt exceed the programmed crossing threshold, normally a certain percent of the floating, the voltage is maintained and a first phase of boost charge starts, in which the current is constant and the voltage is increasing. After a certain time the recharging voltage reaches the programmed level for the second phase of boost charge; a timer is started and the battery is kept under boost

RTB.e general description and installation charge conditions for the time programmed. After this time has elapsed the output voltage of the RTB.e is brought back to the floating value. If this does not happen within the maximum programmed time, the safety timer intervenes and the voltage is forced to floating. This event generates an alarm.

Picture 5 U1 U2 I recharge

3.1.5 Manual recharge The manual recharge of the battery, called also of forming or of equalizing is a function offered by the RTB.e that allows the operator to carry out a recharge under his own manual control. This modality of recharge can be used to form the battery after that it has been stocked for a long period, or after that the electrolyte has been filled up, in the case of batteries having been shipped dry, or in order to equalize the voltage of the battery cells after having been used for a certain period. The manual recharge procedure is described in detail in the relevant menu of the FRONT PANEL chapter. Generally, when manual recharge is selected it is possibile to intervene manually on the output voltage by means of a potentiometer to vary the recharging battery current. Such current is however always limited to a preselectable maximum value.

RTB.e general description and installation 4.4 ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS The electrical connections are part of the installation and must be carried out by specialized personnel, following the indication of the Technical Drawings. The RTB.e manufacturer is not responsible of the electrical connection. It is recommended to carry out the installation and input and output electrical connections according to the local standards. During the electrical installations take special care to respect the sequence of the input phases. ATTENTION The connection to the mains has to be carried out by interposing protections fuses between the mains and the RTB.e. The use of residual protection devices in the mains supply line of the RTB.e is not recommended; the current dispersion to the ground, due to the RFI filters is quite high and can cause undesired protection interventions. In compliance with the EN50091-1 standards , differential devices with settable intervention threshold can be used, in order to keep into consideration the current dispersion of the RTB.e. 4.4.1 Terminal boards The position of the input, output and signalling terminal boards is shown in the Technical Drawings. It is recommended to consider the recommended cable sections. 4.5 EXTERNAL BATTERY AND BATTERY FUSE BOX The external battery is used to keep the output loads energized even in the case of mains failure. During the battery discharge, the control logic of the RTB.e remains supplied allowing the signalling of the discharge levels. IMPORTANT The battery voltage is present inside the RTB.e even in case of mains failure. Disconnect the external battery before maintenance. The battery switch is assembled inside the DC distribution panel and between RTB.e and Battery banks there is a Battery Fuse Box with power protection fuses, battery voltage and current instruments and Battery High Impedance monitor. Connect the auxiliary contact to the RTB.e according to the indications on the Technical Drawings.

If the RTB.e is set on Manual it switches to Normal and viceversa. NOTE This key works as a two positions switch M-A that remains positioned on the last selected position. This means that if NORMAL has been selected the RTB.e remains in Normal mode until the operating mode is changed into in MANUAL. Normally the RTB.e is used to recharge the battery automatically and therefore the NORMAL mode is selected. The battery manual recharge, called also equalizing, is a function offered by the RTB.e to allow the operator to carry out a recharge under his own manual control. This recharge modality can be used to form the battery after it has been stocked for a long period, or after having filled it up with electrolyte, in case of dry delivered batteries, or to equalize the voltage of the battery cells after these have been used for a certain time. The manual recharge procedure is the following: 1: With RTB.e shutdown the battery voltage that has to be equalized is measured. Step 2: Enter menu PARAMETERS, menu MANUAL CHARGE (See 3.2.8.2 Parameters Manual Charge), and set, in the following order : a. The setup voltage (SETP_VDC_EQUAL) in Volt. b. The max charge current (CORR_LIM_EQUAL) in Amp. c. The max time of permanence (MAXTIME EQUAL) in minutes. Step 3: The regulation potentiometer is positioned at approx. 10%. Step 4: Enter the menu NORMAL-MANUAL and select the MANUAL mode; in this way the position of the potentiometer is read as starting setup voltage for the equalizing charge.
Issued 10.12.2008

Step

JGE410502

17 of 45

Front Panel Step 5: Start-up the RTB.e. The voltage goes to the starting set-up value. By means of the potentiometer the voltage of the batteries to be equalized can be varied, controlling the recharge current in conformity with the battery specifications. The current however cannot go over the set limit. If it remains in this condition for a longer time than the set limit the voltage returns automatically to the starting setup value. At the end of the procedure shutdown the RTB.e and select again the NORMAL mode; in this way the automatic recharge system is enabled again. Re-start the RTB.e.

Step 6:

Step 7:

This procedure can be repeated several time to fraction the forming charge in several steps with the current limits in different times. IMPORTANT The manual recharge function or equalizing cannot be used for all types of batteries. The responsibility of the correct use of the batteries is of the operator. We recommend the use of the manual charge only by specialized personnel. The choices to carry out and the recharging mode depend on the type of battery installed.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF THE UNIT

1.1 TYPOLOGY Rectifier RTB.e converts the alternate input voltage having a variable amplitude and frequency into a constant-voltage and current-controlled direct output power source. Its function is to control the output values via a three-phase fully controlled SCR rectifier bridge (6-pulse version) or via two of these paralleled bridges (12-pulse version). Galvanic insulation from the input mains (when provided for by the technical specification is achieved via a transformer. 1.1.1 Basic structure The basic structure of RTB.e is the following: The input mains crosses the EMI filter for high frequency emissions and gets into the primary winding of input transformer T1, via isolator RICB.

The synchronism signals are taken from the primary winding for the control of the SCR firing angle, the input currents for the measurement and the supply voltage for the control logic (battery redounded) The secondary winding is connected to the SCR bridge via protection fuses. In the 12-pulse version, the input transformer has got 2 secondary windings and 2 SCR bridges. The control logic, housed in the rack named DR16, cards: BP-DR16 PS-DR16 DR16-COMP CAN-LINK Id. no. N_FS3004 Id. no. N_FS3005 Id. no. N_FS3006 Id. no. N_FS3011 consists of the following

Interconnection panel System power supply Control card (CPU) Connection card CAN_BUS (optional for parallel redundant configuration)

The firing of the SCRs is controlled by card DR16-COMP, and is performed via card: RTF Id. no. N_FS3002 SCR firing card The rectified and controlled voltage is filtered by an L (series inductance) and C (paralleled capacitors) unit, calculated in accordance with the maximum ripple voltage provided for by the Technical Specification. On the output of said unit, a feedback voltage is taken for the voltage control and measurements are made regarding the total output current (for the total limitation), as well as the charging and discharging current and voltage of the battery, if this function is provided.

1.1.2 6-pulse Rectifier (Standard) The type of standard bridge configuration used by RTB.e is three-phase, fully controlled, with SCRs and 6 pulses. It is so sized as to supply direct current loads and to recharge the battery to the maximum charging current provided for by the Technical Specification. The nominal standard value of the current harmonic distortion (THD) reintroduced into the mains by a 6-pulse rectifier is < 27%. 1.1.3 12-pulse Rectifier (Optional) The 12-pulse configuration is used to reduce the current harmonic distortion (THD) reintroduced into the mains, to a value < 12%. This prevents affecting the supply line while respecting the other loads, and avoids the overheating of cables due to the circulation of harmonics. It consists of two rectifier bridges which, thanks to a phase-shift transformer, operate with 30 difference, eliminating the harmonics typical of 6-pulse bridges, namely the 5th and the 7th harmonic. As a consequence, the harmonics left are the highest ones, namely the 11th, the 13th and multiple ones.

The multiple output voltages are generated by a switching power supply of forward type, with 2500 Vac insulation, which takes its supply from the transformers secondary voltage (R,S,T) and by the redundant battery (POS_BATT, NEG_BATT). The three synchronism and measurement voltages (V_MA_U, V_MA_V, V_MA_W) are generated starting from the three input voltages of RTB.e (U_IN, V_IN, W_IN).

BATTERY CHARGER troubleshooting procedures

1 INTRODUCTION
This troubleshooting includes a first-level fault description based on the rectifier alarms and suggests how to check the unit to solve the problems. This description assumes that all the connections inside the unit are correct: check them (connectors, power cables, signals and so on) before to start with the procedures. The first-level troubleshooting eventually leads to the substitution of the components of the Rectifier without attempting to repair them. The procedures listed below takes into account the operator is provided with all the testing tools and perfectly confident with the test software.

2 TROUBLESHOOTING PROCEDURES
2.1 A1 MAINS FAULT
This alarm normally indicates that there is no power at the input of the Rectifier. The mains voltage is acquired on the connector M1 of the back panel card BP-DR16 (N_FS3004) through the auxiliary transformer T10.

2.1.1 Troubleshooting procedure


1. Is the input voltage present and within the tolerance? YES: go to step #2 NO: check the rectifier supply line Measure the rectifier input voltage and compare the measure with the reading on the DR16-Test screen (or front panel). Are the values shown equal to those measured? YES: go to step #6 NO: go to step #3 Check the fuses F11. Is there any fuse blown? YES: replace the broken fuse(s) NO: go to step #4 Check the auxiliary transformer T10 by measuring the secondary voltages directly on the transformer terminals.

2.9 A9 OPEN CIRCUIT BREAKERS


This alarm indicates that one of the rectifier circuit breakers is open. The alarm is split into three different sub-alarms; A91 (input breaker), A92 (battery breaker), A93 (output breaker). The auxiliary contacts of the circuit breaker are connected to the connector M18 of the back panel card BP-DR16, to the pins 1-2 (input), 3-4 (battery) and 5-6 (output). The troubleshooting procedure that follows is not referred to a specific sub-alarms, as it is the same for all of them.

2.9.1 Troubleshooting procedure

BATTERY CHARGER troubleshooting procedures


2. Check the connection between the detector and the connector M18 of the card BPDR16. Is it OK? YES: replace the card DR-16 NO: re-connect or replace the interconnection cable

2.11 A15 EEPROM ERROR


This alarm depends on a wrong alignment of the data inside the EEPROM when the memory is checked by the microprocessor. It is normally a fake alarm, but leads to a blocking condition of the rectifier.

2.11.1 Troubleshooting procedure


1. Connect the DR16-Test software and send the command MEE000, wait for 10 seconds and re-start the rectifier after having turned it off. Does the alarm occur again? YES: replace the card DR-16 NO: END

2.12 A16 EMERGENCY LEVEL


This alarm indicates that the rectifier has been forced to lower the output voltage to the programmed level as emergency. This operating mode is used when the rectifier is connected to critical loads which supply voltage range is lower than the floating voltage. The emergency level is commanded by an external contact connected to the connector M10 (1-2) of the back panel card BP-DR16. When the contact is closed the microprocessor forces the modification of the voltage set-point to the programmed emergency level (the value can be checked through the front panel under PARAMETERS).

2.13 PROGRAMMABLE ALARMS


The alarms from A11 to A14 can be programmed during the engineering phase, in case the technical specification requires additional signalisations. They can either be generated by mixing the standard rectifier alarms or depend on the free digital inputs available (connector M11 and M12 of the back panel card BP-DR16). Considering the wide number of possible combinations a troubleshooting procedure cannot be given.

Each battery must have a current sensor (Hall effect ammeter) for each RTB_e The following table show the connection logic of current sensories on N_FS3004. BATTERY 1 RTB_e1 RTB_e2 M7 M13 BATTERY 2 M13 M7

On the FS1420 board will have to be implemented following modifications according to the battery recharge current of RTB_e. R122 = 10 k w R129 = as according of following table Battery Hall effect ammeter ratio 2000/1 4000/1 5000/1 Maximum Battery recharge current 151A 230A 305A 300A 760A R 129 [kOhm] 1W 33 22 33 // 33 33 33 // 33

The auxiliary contact of coupling switch will have to be carried on each RTB_e. If there is not coupling switch, we will have to short circuit pin 17-18 of M18 connector of N_FS3004 with a jumper, on each RTB_e.
