Capstone reserves the right to change or modify, without notice, the design, specifications, and/or contents of this document without
incurring any obligation either with respect to equipment previously sold or in the process of construction.
Note that the output frequency is synchronized with the input utility grid during normal
operation. Therefore, the Load Output over frequency setpoints should be greater than the
Utility Input over frequency setpoints to assure coordinated response to utility frequency
shifts.
MultiPac Minimum Power Submenu
Load Output 3/4
MP Min Power 7/8
30.0 kW
3600 Sec
MultiPac Minimum Power submenu shows the minimum power level that a group of Hybrid
UPS systems must be able to provide before they switch their load outputs on. The
settings cannot be set changed from this submenu, and should be set during
commissioning by a Capstone Authorized Service Provider.
The kW setting is the minimum value of total power available from the MultiPac of Hybrid
UPS systems before the master commands them into Load State and begins outputting
power to the critical load. This setting ensures that the system has enough power output
capability before power is allowed to be exported to the load, and should be set to the
maximum expected load. Initial Factory Setting is 0 kW.
The timeout period setting establishes the maximum time the MultiPac has to achieve the
minimum power setting before the system shuts down automatically. This timeout setting
is adjustable from 60 to 3600 seconds in 1 second intervals. Initial Factory Setting is
3600 seconds.
Local Battery Charge Submenu

Hybrid UPS microturbine system may be fitted with its own battery storage system. In this
case, the Local Battery Charge submenu controls whether the system begins a battery
equalization charge. This can be done when the system is in any of its operating modes,
provided there is sufficient net power available to do so. Selecting ENABLE will begin the
equalization charge, which can last up to 4 hours. Note that the user must be logged in
with the current password to change this setting.
