1. Introduction Overview
Lineage Power developed the Galaxy Power System EP4803 / EP4806 / EP4812 to support -48 volt telecommunications powering solutions for the Indian market. The EP48XXX combines fan-cooled, switchmode rectifiers, microprocessor control technologies, battery and load disconnect/reconnect options in a modular front-access design. This modularity ensures easy access, simplified installation and maintenance, and allows the system to expand in capacity and features as power needs grow. The power system accepts alternating current from the commercial utility or a standby ac power source and rectifies it to produce dc power for connected equipment. The systems control and alarm functions interact with the rectifiers and the office. In addition, the system provides overcurrent protection and charge, discharge, and distribution facilities. Battery reserve automatically provides a source of dc power if the commercial or standby ac fails. With 1200-ampere maximum capacity, distribution flexibility, Energy Monitoring features for the AC input as well as DC Loads, the EP48XXX supports switching, transmission, and wireless applications in central office locations and environmentally controlled remote sites.

System Configurations
The EP 48XXX is available in two configurations: The half height cabinet, shown in Figure 1-1 (EP4803 & EP4806) mounts on top of a battery stand and can provide up to 600 amperes of dc power. The full height cabinet, shown in Figures 1-2 (EP4812) is a standalone unit suitable for floor anchoring, and can provide up to 1,200 amperes of dc power. Figure 2-2 shows the electrical schematic for the Half Height Cabinets. Figure 2-3 shows the electrical schematic for the Full Height Cabinets. Each system contains ac distribution, dc distribution panels, a battery connection panel, rectifiers, termination points for load circuits, and a system controller.
Figure 2-2: Electrical schematic for the Half Height Cabinets.
Figure 2-3: Electrical schematic for the Full Height Cabinets.
System Architecture
The architecture of the EP48XXX platform is based on the IC091_CB ICOMBO Controller, which works as a front end master controller in addition to providing the user interface for the plant. The ICOMBO Controller provides complete control functionality, Distribution Monitoring & Control. ICOMBO is a combination of features of Pulsar plus controllers family and add-on modules (IEPSO). This approach of design gives a more centralized control and operation of power system. The ICOMBO works along with power system components and provides all the necessary supervisory, measurement, monitoring and control functions as required by the India Market. The feature set of the ICOMBO has been optimally designed considering the India Market Requirements, with new and special features such as AC Energy Monitoring, DC Energy Monitoring and Energy Efficiency. This section describes the basic architecture of the EP48XXX Power Systems designed around the use of the IC091_CB ICOMBO Controller. The key features and specifications of the IC091_CB ICOMBO Controller are described in the next chapter.
Single Line Diagram of EP48XXX Plant

Figure 2-4 shows the Single Line Diagram of a typical EP48XXX plant, highlighting the interconnections between the IC091_CB_ICOMBO Controller and the various other power system components.
Figure 2-4: Single Line Diagram of EP48XXX Plant
System Components
The unit is internally wired for AC distribution from the MCBs / TB to each of the individual rectifier modules, through backplane interconnects of each shelf. Rectifiers convert an ac source voltage into the dc voltage level required to charge and float the batteries and to power the using equipment. The rectifiers are installed in the EP48XXX shelf, with each shelf accepting a maximum of six rectifiers. Up to four shelves may be present. Blocks are labeled and wired to a correspondingly marked rectifier as shown.
(Front View)
The AC distribution for the ultimate capacity of 24 Rectifiers installed in the plant is as shown below (viewed from front of the shelf), with background color indicating the respective phase from which the rectifier draws its input power. For Systems with less number of rectifiers, the uninstalled rectifiers occupy slots within the rightmost side of the shelf. R- Phase: L1 Y- Phase: L2 B- Phase: L3 G41 G31 G21 G11 G42 G32 G22 G12 G43 G33 G23 G13 G44 G34 G24 G14 G45 G35 G25 G15 G46 G36 G26 G16
Controller provides the local and remote control, monitoring, and diagnostic functions required to control and monitor the power system. Batteries provide energy storage for an uninterrupted power feed to the using equipment during loss of ac input or rectifier failure. DC Distribution Panel provides over current protection, connection points for the using equipment, and bus bars used to interconnect the rectifiers, batteries, and dc distribution.
Distribution panels have DIN Circuit Breakers, or DIN Fuse modules DIN Style Breakers Ensure breakers are in the off position. Connect load cables to the load distribution return bus bar and the -48V outputs from the MCBs Verify wiring polarity at the input of the load equipment. Leave breaker switch in the OFF position until the load equipment is ready to be energized. DIN Style Fuses for Battery Connection Remove the fuses from the fuse base. Connect the negative cables of the battery to the fuse base and the positive cable from the battery to the +Ve return bus bar. Verify wiring polarity of the battery terminals. Do not install load fuse and alarm fuse until the load equipment is ready to be energized.
Battery Connection Panel provides connection points for the battery strings through battery disconnect fuses or contactors and current monitoring shunts.

System Control Interface Alarm Outputs There are a total of ten potential free relay outputs, which are wired up within the EP48XXX plant, from the output terminal block to the HDR10 connector of the ICOMBO Controller. All ten relays can be independently programmed to operate in normally open or normally closed condition, by appropriately configuring jumpers 1-10 located on the ICOMBO board. The configuration needs to be done as illustrated below:
Figure 3-3: Alarm Relay Configuration Jumpers for the ICOMBO
Figure 3-4: Configuring default active state for alarm Outputs
Each jumper corresponds to one alarm relay and each relay output can be configured independently. The potential free contacts from the relay outputs are available at the HDR10 connector of the ICOMBO controller. Out of the ten alarm relays, seven provide the actual alarm condition, and three provide the severity associated with the alarm. The severity relays transmit Power Critical (PCR), Power Major (PMJ), or Power Minor (PMN). Each alarm is factory assigned a severity based on industry practices; however, they may be reassigned to PCR, MAJ, MIN, or RO (Record Only). An alarm condition with the RO severity results in the system controller transmitting the alarm without the severity but is stored in the history log. PCR, PMJ nor PMN are transmitted with the alarm. The seven selectable alarm relays are called User Alarm Relay 1 (R1) through User Alarm Relay 7 (R7). Each relay can operate under one or more events/conditions or even when a logical combination of certain events occur. Further, the active states for all the Relays are user definable (either normally open or closed). Table 3-1 indicates the interconnection between the I-combo Board and the user terminal blocks for the output relays. The factory default functionality for the relays is also indicated.

System Status Indicators

The ICOMBO controller provides three separate LED indicators to help assist in providing more specific indications of the system status. These LEDs are used to provide specific indication concerning the AC and DC system status as well as a separate indicator for a Battery on Discharge state. These LEDs have factory assigned defaults as indicated in the table below. However assignments can be customized in the field using the remote interfaces.
LED Status Condition AC input to all rectifiers is in range. AC input to one rectifier is missing or out of range. AC input to two or more rectifiers is missing or out of range. DC output to all loads is normal. DC One or more of the following alarms are present: Fuse Minor 48. One or more of the following alarms are present: Open String, LVBD Open, Fuse Major 48 System under battery test (blinks) BD State not presently assigned. System equal to or below configured Battery on Discharge (BD) threshold. The ICOMBO has an audible alarm located in its display assembly. This alarm will sound when any Critical, Major, or Minor alarm is detected by the controller. The alarm can be cut-off temporary from control/operations menu. Once the audible cut-off is selected the alarms at present in the system can be observed in alarms shortcut in the main screen. An indicator on the default front panel screen is provided to inform that the audible alarm cutoff is active. The audible alarm can also be turned-back on following similar procedures.
AC
The audible alarm may be disabled altogether through proper configuration at the front panel.
Local and Remote Access Ports

The ICOMBO provides communication ports for local remote access. Access to these ports depends on the specific controller configuration. The ICOMBO used in the EP48XXX plant has a front panel local DB9 RS232 asynchronous serial port.
Port Front Panel Description A laptop PC can be connected to standard DB9 connector to provide a groundreferenced RS-232 serial connection using Easy View for local access.
User Interface Menu Structure

Feature content is functionally divided at the Main Menu into following categories:
Status, Control/Operations, History & Configuration

Access to the main menu starts at the default front panel screen shown below.
Front Panel Default Menu
The front panel default screen displays the primary (Rectifier) system bus voltages along with total load. The larger font represents the rectifier output. Output voltages of rectifier outputs have two decimal points. The operating mode of the system is also displayed. Possible operating modes are: Float, Battery On Discharge, Boost, etc. Pressing the button accesses the main menu and the feature categories previously listed.
Main Menu
Access to alarms, warnings, equipment status detail, basic control and operations for maintenance purposes, and system configuration can be obtained. Note: the ICOMBO has the ability to have a front Panel Password that limits configuration as well as some operations. A person with administrator level access can enable this feature through the remote interfaces. Standard ICOMBO controllers are shipped from the factory with this feature enabled.
Personal Identification (PIN)

The ICOMBO controller has the ability to restrict access from the front panel of the unit. It has the ability to enforce a four digit Personal Identification Number (PIN) requirement for users of the front panel for control/operations and configurable items. These control/operations and configurations are generally considered the items that should only be done during initial install or by specific personnel.

Contactors
The ICOMBO controller monitors and controls contactors. Contactor controlled by appropriately configuring a unique board ID and associating it to a specific contactor function at the controller.
ID1-6 Associates the ID numbers set on the controller to one of four independent set of contactor controls. These contactor controls are: LVBD (Low Voltage Battery Disconnect), LVLD1 (Low Voltage Load Disconnect 1), LVLD2 (Low Voltage Load Disconnect 2), and LVLD3 (Low Voltage Load Disconnect 3).
The ICOMBO has assigned each unique board ID number as follows: ID1 to LVBD ID2 to LVLD1 ID3 to LVLD2 ID4 to LVLD3
Disconnects
This section of the configuration menu contains the parameters associated with the individual function assignments made in the previous section. Each LVD type (LVBD and LVLD1-3) can individually be enabled or disabled. Only the LVBD and LVLD1 are enabled from the factory. The LVDs disconnect and reconnect method of operation used by the controller can be configured for each assignment. The method of disconnect or reconnect can be based on the traditional means of reaching a system bus voltage threshold (Voltage) or based on both reaching the system bus voltage threshold and an elapsed time from once the system has been placed on discharge (BD) and at least two or more rectifiers are reporting AC failures (Voltage/Time). The same Voltage and Voltage/Time mode of operation can also be selected for reconnecting LVDs. In this case the elapsed time configured is the time from once the reconnect voltage threshold has been reached. Note: selecting None for a reconnect mode will require manual intervention to shut the contactor. Selecting None for the disconnect mode will not allow a LVD to open. The ICOMBO has factory defaults of the following:
LVBD (Enabled) Disconnect Mode (Voltage); Range: Voltage, Voltage/Time, None Disconnect Voltage (-42.0V); Range:-39.0 to -50.0V Time Delay (0 min); Range: 0-300min Reconnect Mode (Voltage); Range: Voltage, Voltage/Time, None Reconnect Voltage (-48.0V); Range:-39.0 to -55.0V Time Delay (0 sec); Range: 0-300sec

Once the LVBD threshold has been reached, the alarm is generated. The alarm is issued 15 seconds prior to opening the contactor to provide an indication that system shutdown is imminent due to a system battery disconnect. The alarm is based on the configured LVBD battery disconnect threshold. The factory default for this feature is Disabled. If enabled, the remote Emergency Power Off (EPO) feature allows the controller to detect the occurrence of a contact closure between J3.5 and J.10 and force open all battery contactors in the system. The battery contactor will open five seconds after the contact has been asserted. Once the contact is removed, the battery contactor will be re-asserted to its previous operational state. The factory default for this feature is Enabled.

Appendix B The T1.317 Command Language

Initializing the IC091_Icombo Controller
This section outlines programming the controller using the Hyper Terminal program that is shipped with most IBM compatible PC's. Connect the cable between the computer RS-232 port, and the ICOMBO Controller. After Hyper Terminal has started and the programming cable is connected to the controller and the PC, you should see the login screen that allows access to the controller programming features. RS-232 Terminal This interface provides a T1.317 interface for local access. This interface provides access to all status, configuration, and operations. It also provides call-out on alarm capability. The controller communicates to local port using the following settings: Write Access ( ENA) Baud rate ( Auto) Flow control (None)
Three levels of security protect incoming access: user, super-user, and administrator. A user has read ability and can only get status information from the controller. A super-user can change configurations and perform control operations. An administrator has all the abilities of a super-user but can also change passwords. All access to ICOMBO is via the T1.317 command set, to be discussed later. This section describes how to log into the system via an RS-232 local port. The first step to logging in is to get to an ENTER PASSWORD: prompt. From a terminal connected to the RS-232 port, simply press ENTER until you see the log-in prompt. The number of ENTER keys required will depend on the baud rate you are trying to connect at. The controller will adjust its baud rate automatically until it recognizes the carriage return character (ASCII 13) sent by pressing ENTER. At the ENTER PASSWORD: prompt, type the user or super-user password. The default password for each level of security is listed below. Default User password Default Super-user password Default Administrator password lineage super-user administrator
After receiving the correct password, the controller will respond with one of the following command line prompts: User command-line prompt: *
Super-user command-line prompt: ** When these prompts appear the controller is ready to accept commands. Note that the session will be terminated if the port is idle for 15 minutes.
T1.317 Command Language

The ICOMBO controller command language is based on the T1.317 standard. This section describes the commands, objects and attributes used to access measurements, configuration, and control parameters in the ICOMBO controller. Objects and Attributes The T1.317 standard organizes system parameters called attributes into groups called objects. All commands, objects, attributes and ranges for their respective parameters for the ICOMBO controller are given in the following tables. An object-attribute pair uniquely identifies a measurement, configuration, or control parameter. For example, the object-attribute pair dc1,vdc identifies the plant voltage while the object-attribute pair dc1,adc identifies the plant load current. In each of these examples dc1 identifies the plant object and vdc and adc identify DC voltage and DC current, respectively. There are three main commands involved with plant operations in the system controller command set. The command sta is used to get the status of the plant, the command cha is used to change a plant parameter, and the command ope is used to initiate a plant function. A person at the user level can only perform the sta operations. A person at the super-user and administrator level can also perform the "cha" and "ope" operations. Instructions in the T1.317 command set take the following form: command object,attribute[=parameter]. Certain commands do not require a value for parameter, while others do. Note that text parameters are to be enclosed in quotation marks while numeric parameters are not to be enclosed in quotation marks. For example, to obtain the plant voltage, type in the following command: sta dc1,vdc
To enable low-temperature slope thermal compensation, type in the following command: cha sc1,rve=1 To change the voltage at which the LVD contactor disconnects the batteries from the load to 40V, type the following: cha cn1,dth=40 To initiate a manual boost charging, i.e., place the plant into boost charging mode, type in the following command: ope dc1,stt=boost The tables below summarize the object-attribute pairs in the system along with the commands that can be used with the pair and the valid range that the attribute may have. The values in bold text are the default settings for the attributes.

Appendix C Explanation of Battery Management Functions

Float Mode
Float mode is the default operation mode of the power system. The system voltage, while in float mode, is determined by the configuration parameter Rectifier Float Set point (fsp) and may be adjusted by the Battery Thermal Compensation circuit, if active. No individual adjustment of plant rectifiers is necessary and load sharing among plant rectifiers is automatic in all plant modes and will take effect within several seconds of a new rectifier being added to the system. The Rectifier Float Set point should be set per the battery manufacturer's recommendations. Note that the actual Rectifier Float Set point measured on the plant may differ from the value set by the user if battery thermal compensation (STC) is enabled.
Slope Thermal Compensation

The following is a list of slope thermal compensation parameters that can be configured in the controller.
High Temperature Alarm

Alarm threshold can be set from 30C to 85C. The alarm retires when the temperature drops to 10C below the set threshold. The factory default setting is 55C.
High Temperature Compensation

The system controller automatically enables high temperature compensation if a VT thermal probe is detected. The feature can be disabled by disconnecting all thermal probes and updating the serial links using the Lamp Test function. Settings for this feature are as follows. V Step Down: Battery step temperature can be set from 45C to 85C. The factory default setting is 75C. High Comp Limit: The upper temperature thermal limit can be set from 30C to 55C. The factory default setting is 45C. Decrease: The upper temperature slope setting (rate of decrease) can be set from -1mV to 10mV in -.1mV steps. The factory default is -3mV. Nominal Temperature: Temperature above or below which Slope Thermal Compensation is enabled. The stable range is 15 to 30C. The factory default setting is 25C.
Low Temperature Compensation

This feature is disabled by default, and can be enabled only if Temperature Slope Thermal Compensation is enabled. The following are the associated parameters. Low Comp Limit: Low temperature thermal compensation can be set from -5C to 20C. The factory default setting is 0C. Increase: The low temperature slope (rate of increase) can be set from 1mV to 10mV in .1mV increments. The factory default setting is 3mV. I-Combo controller has a flexible Thermal Compensation feature which provides voltage compensation from that level established by the Plant Float Set-Point (fsp) or Boost Set-Point (bsp), dependent on the highest temperature monitored by the QS873A VT-Probes attached to the system batteries. Thermal Compensation should be used in a plant containing sealed or valve regulated maintenance free batteries. Note that Thermal Compensation is automatically enabled from the factory when Valve-Regulated Lead Acid batteries are the system battery type. The feature is not automatically enabled upon detection of a VT-Probe. Refer to the Installation Instructions for more details on wiring and configuring this feature. Thermal Compensation lowers plant voltage from the fsp for monitored battery temperatures which are above the ideal temperature established during configuration as the Battery Thermal Slope Nominal Temperature (ntt). (The items in parenthesis are the user configurable points referred to in the graph shown below.) Lowering the plant voltage helps to keep the batteries at their optimum state of charge while protecting them from thermal runaway. Thermal runaway is a complex sealed battery phenomenon where, for one or more of a number of reasons, one or more cells in a string are unable to dissipate the internal heat generated by their charging current and experience an increase in internal temperature. By lowering the float voltage as cell temperature increases, the float current is lowered to a point where this destructive behavior can be avoided. If a cell failure is imminent and the cell temperature continues to rise above the threshold configured for Battery Thermal Step Temperature (stp), plant voltage drops in a single step to a level which keeps the remaining cells in the string from overcharging and being damaged. Refer to Figure C-1 for a graphical view of Battery Thermal Compensation and the relationship of its various set points. I-combo controller can also increase plant voltage above that set by the fsp or bsp for colder environments, again seeking to keep batteries at their optimum charge state. Batteries will lose capacity as the battery temperature drops below their optimal operating temperature. Increasing the plant voltage with decreases in battery temperature will cause more current to flow into the batteries. This results in electrolysis of the water in the batteries. Since this reaction is exothermic, it also serves to keep batteries warm. This feature results in an increase in plant voltage, and is required to be enabled during controller configuration.
Figure C-1: Slope Thermal Compensation The following describes the configuration parameters which may be activated or altered by the user. Refer to Appendix D for the ranges of values the parameters may take and their factory default settings. Lower Thermal Limit (ltt): The lower temperature where, if Low Temperature Compensation is enabled, the controller will increase plant voltage to a level corresponding to (lsp * (ntt - ltt)* 24)V above the fsp. Plant voltage will be increased proportionally at any temperature between this point and the Battery Thermal Slope Nominal Temperature (ntt). Low Temperature Compensation Enable (rve): A 0 disables and 1 enables the Low Temperature Thermal Compensation feature. Since rve increases plant voltage rather than decreasing it based on temperature, the option is provided to disable it separately from the entire feature so that equipment loads sensitive to high voltages can be protected.
Lower Temperature Slope (lsp): The slope rate for the voltage increase per cell when
the battery temperature is below the ntt (Battery Thermal Slope Nominal Temperature). Battery Thermal Slope Nominal Temperature (ntt): The zero compensation temperature point. Temperatures monitored between this point and the Upper Temperature Limit (utt) will result in a proportional decrease of plant voltage to a level corresponding to (usp*(uttntt)*24)V below the fsp at the utt. If Low Temperature Compensation is enabled, temperatures monitored between this point and the Lower Thermal Limit (ltt) will result in a proportional increase of plant voltage to a level corresponding to (lsp*(ntt-ltt)*24)V above the fsp at the ltt. Upper Temperature Slope (usp): The slope rate for the voltage decrease per cell when the battery temperature is above the ntt (Battery Thermal Slope Nominal Temperature). Upper Temperature Limit (utt): The upper temperature where Battery Thermal Compensation will have reduced plant voltage to a level corresponding to (usp*(utt-ntt)*24)V below the fsp. Plant voltage will be reduced proportionally at any temperature between this point and the Battery Thermal Slope Nominal Temperature (ntt). Battery Thermal Alarm Threshold (thr): A monitored battery temperature above this threshold results in a Battery Thermal alarm with a PMN severity. Battery Thermal Step Temperature (spt): A monitored battery temperature above this threshold results in an additional 4.08V step decrease in plant voltage.
Plant Battery Test

The following is a list of plant battery test parameters that can be configured in the controller. The result of the Plant Battery Test is available in the Batteries sub-menu of the Status menu. Manual Test: Permits manually starting a battery discharge test. The test can be set to end on either of the following two parameters. Duration: The duration of the test can be set from 0.1 hours to 99.9 hours. Cutoff Cell V: The test can be set to end when battery cell voltage reaches this cutoff voltage. Cutoff voltage can be set from 1.5V to 2.0V. Automatic Test: This utility offers the flexibility of running pre-programmed battery tests at specific times and days, and for specific durations.
Automatic Test: Enable or disable automatic periodic running of the battery test. The factory default setting is disabled. Interval: The test interval (time between tests) can be set from 1 to 18 months in 1 month increments. The factory default setting is 12 months. Next Test: Enter a particular day in dd-mm-yy format to automatically run the battery test on that day. Start Time: Enter a particular time in hh-mm format to automatically run the battery test at that time. The setting can be configured from 0 to 23 hours. 00:00 is midnight. Hours from BD: Time interval needed to elapse since the last Battery on Discharge alarm before a battery test can be performed. This can be set from 0 to 240 hours in 1 hour increments. The factory default setting is 72 hours. Recharge Amp Limit: This section contains the settings for battery recharge current limit. Limit: Enable or disable battery discharge current limiting. Limit To: Current limit setting, from 5A to 1000A. The factory default setting is 50A. During this test, the controller lowers the rectifier voltage to 44V. (This value was chosen to be higher than 1.2V plus the highest possible LVD contactor disconnect threshold so as not to accidentally open the LVD contactor.) Lowering the rectifier output voltage to 44V creates a battery on discharge condition. If the batteries are present and healthy, the plant voltage will remain above 48V and the batteries will support the load. If the batteries are not present or are not able to support the load, the plant voltage will immediately drop to approximately 44V without any consequence to the load. The Battery on Discharge alarm is masked during this test. The test is terminated by the occurrence of any of the following conditions:
Initiating another Plant Battery Test. That is, once the test has been initiated, the test may be stopped by initiating another test either through the controller or by shorting pins 19 and 20 of the host interface connector. An alarm condition occurring. Any alarm condition that occurs during this test will result in the test being aborted regardless of whether the contact-closure exists between pins 19 and 20 of the host interface connector. The test has continued for over 100 minutes.
The plant voltage has dropped below 44V. In this case, the system will abort the test and resume rectifier operation.
After the test has stopped, the plant will revert to the float mode. It may go to boost mode if the auto-boost feature has been enabled.
Boost Mode
Boost charging is a feature of I-combo controller, which allows the user to temporarily raise the plant voltage to a higher, predetermined level, thus, reducing the time needed to charge batteries. The system may manually be placed in the boost-mode through the front panel. Note that the measured boost voltage may not exactly match the value chosen by the user if the thermal compensation feature is enabled. This is because the Galaxy Pulsar Plus performs thermal compensated boost charging and will adjust the boost value based on the battery temperature per the slope chosen by the user. The plant will exit the boost mode and enter the float mode if any of the following occurs:

The current flowing into the battery string(s) is less than 5A The duration of boost mode charging has reached the configured duration time (1-80) hours The controller receives either a High-Voltage, Rectifier Fail alarm, or High-Battery Temperature alarms User sets the plant state to Float via the TI.
Once initiated, the boost mode may be exited by placing the Plant State to Float.
Auto-Boost Charge
This feature may be enabled from the TI. See Appendix B for details. When enabled, the plant enters the boost-charging mode of operation following a battery discharge once the BD alarm has been retired, provided the duration of the discharge was greater than 4 minutes. The controller will not enter the auto-boost-charging mode if the discharge duration was less than 4 minutes. When in auto-boost mode, the controller raises the plant voltage to the value selected by the user. The controller keeps the plant in this mode of operation for a minimum of 5 minutes. The exit conditions for the Auto-Boost Charge are the same as those for Boost Charge.
Redundancy Loss Function

This feature must be enabled from the front panel. The controller determines the number of rectifiers present and compares the actual currents being drawn by the load to that produced by the total number of rectifiers less one. If the measured load current exceeds the N rectifiers capacity for over 1 min, the alarm condition is activated. The alarm condition is latched on until the Clear Events command is activated from the front panel. This feature may be used by customers to determine if the load being served is greater than N rectifiers worth, in an N+1 system. That is, the load requirements have changed such that the power system is no longer operating as a redundant power system. An additional rectifier may be required to ensure continuous redundant operation. If enabled, this feature will be disabled during battery discharge and recharge conditions. It will be enabled when the battery charging current falls below 5A.
Battery Voltage Imbalance Detection

This feature requires the use of the ES771A Remote Voltage Monitoring Module. Note that this feature is automatically enabled if the controller detects the presence of the ES771A module. This module is to be placed in the electronics cabinet and utilizes the QS873A VTProbes to measure the voltage of the battery string being monitored. The VT-Probe is to be placed on the negative battery terminal located in the middle of the battery string. I-combo controller has data on the plant voltage; the half-string voltage measured from each monitored battery string is compared to the plant voltage minus the measured half-string voltage. If the comparison results in a difference of greater than 1.7V (or the configured value) for longer than 12 hours, the alarm is asserted. The alarm may be retired by initiating the Clear Events command from the front panel. After this feature has been enabled, the system waits for 12 hours to ensure the battery strings are stable. A battery string is considered to be stable if the charging current is less than 3A. If a stable battery string yields a difference measurement greater than 1.7V (or the configured value) for over 12 continuous hours, a Battery Voltage Imbalance alarm is generated. When the alarm is issued, the Float Set-Point (fsp) and the Battery On Discharge (BD) threshold values are reduced by fsp/Number of Cells per string. Once the alarm has been cleared by the Clear Events (CLE) command, the plant reverts to its normal Float Set-Point (fsp); however, the BD threshold is maintained at the new threshold for up to four minutes before reverting back to the old threshold. This is done to ensure the batteries have had
enough time to charge up to the nominal fsp and to prevent any spurious BD alarm conditions. This feature may be used by customers as part of their overall battery maintenance program in determining the health of battery strings. A voltage imbalance of 1.7V between half-string voltages may mean a shorted-cell, loose connection, or some other abnormality somewhere in the string. A service person should be sent out to the site and determine if the string should be replaced.
Battery Recharge Current Limit

The battery recharge current limit feature enables the I-combo controller to limit the recharge current flowing into a battery section during the charge cycle. The recharge current flowing into the battery section can be limited to any value between 5A and 1000A. Note that this feature will not have any impact on the current being delivered to the load. Further, there will be no effect on the discharge current flowing from the battery strings to the load during an ac fail condition. The controller will maintain the recharge current within 10% of the set level.
