3.1.b Automatic Capacitor Recognition Mode Setting
When the device is energised for the first time, it checks for connection
errors. If there is a faulty connection, it corrects this fault in itself. In order
for the device to correct a connection fault, 3-phase voltage and current
connections of the device must be done.
NOTE:
If there are other loads than compensation connected to the
system, the device may not find the connection at the first try and
may need several tries. However, if the device is unable to complete
the automatic connection process step calculation process shouldnt
be done.
In order for the calculated capacitor powers to be accurate,
the current and voltage transformer ratios have to be entered
correctly before the automatic capacitor recognition process. If
these ratios are not entered by the user, they will be set as 1 by
the device and the capacitor step powers will be calculated according
to these values(Refer to page 12-CT and VT Ratio Settings).
After any connection faults are corrected by the device; if Auto Setup
option is set as
on
, the device calculates the capacitor step powers
according to the selected program. If 10th program(P-10) is selected , all
of the capacitor step powers are measured seperately. If any other program
is selected, the device measures only the first capacitor step power and
then calculates the other step powers according to the selected
program
(Refer to page 7-Step Number Setting).
NOTE: If the option on is selected in the automatic setup menu,
the automatic capacitor recognition will start without exiting the
menu.
The step powers which are calculated after this process must always
be checked.
Select
on
or
of
using the
UP
and
DOWN
buttons(Select
on
for automatic
capacitor recognition).
In Auto Operatý menu, choose Auto Setup menu by pressing
the
UP
button.
The 2nd setting in this menu is the Auto Setup setting. The
automatic setup will or will not start according the options on
or off selection. To change this setting, press the SET button.
3.1.c Automatic Connection Recognition Mode Setting
This option is used for activating or deactivating the connection
recognition mode when the device is energised. It is activated as
factory default. In applications with a generator, the voltage and
current information may not arrive to the device properly depending
on the transfer panels design and delay when the system is switched
from generator to the network power. When this transition occurs,
the device may find a connection fault. Therefore, it is recommended
to turn this option off after the setup is completed.
Select the Auto Setup option in the Auto Operatý menu with
DOWN
button.
Connection correction is activated or deactivated depending on
the on or off position of the Auto connection option. To change
this setting press the
SET
button.
When Auto connection is on, the device controls its connection
automatically at start-up and corrects any existing measurement
input errors. If this option is of, automatic connection correction
is deactivated. Using
UP
ve
DOWN
buttons, select
on
or
of
.
If you want to leave the setup menu without making any other
changes, press the
ESC
button until
SAVE SEt yES
shows
on the screen. If you want to save the changes, press the
SET
button. If not, press the
ESC
button.
