Current Limit
Test (On Line)
1. Connect a DMM to the Reg test jacks to verify the battery
voltage.
2. Hold the Rect Test switch in the full load (FL) position to
raise the rectifier output current to current limit. The output
current should indicate 100-102A, 100 to 101 percent of
the rated output current.
3. If the output current is not within 100-102A, the current
limit needs adjustment. See “Adjust Current Limit” in
Section 7, Troubleshooting and Adjustments.
Isolated Current
Measuring (VI)
Test (MCS or
Galaxy
Controller)
This procedure checks the isolated current measuring circuit
(voltage proportional to current adjustment) on the rectifier's
CM2 control board. The procedure is required only when CM2
is installed as part of a Lineage
®
2000 MCS (Microprocessor
Controlled System) or Galaxy system and when the output
current reading on the rectifier does not agree to within 2.5
percent of the MCS or Galaxy controller reading. This procedure
Notes
Adjust the current limit only after verifying that a current limit
circuit problem exists.
There must be two or more rectifiers with a plant load of at
least 25 percent higher than the capacity of the largest
rectifier.
This method applies to a working plant. If the conditions in
the following note cannot be met, the unit must be tested off
line.
In a working plant, the current limit set point can be found by
adjusting the Output Volts Adj potentiometer on the rectifier
under test to obtain approximately 3/4 load and a battery float
voltage set to specification for type of battery being used.
Note
At the rated output current of the rectifier, the shunt voltage is
40 millivolts.
