from the ‘+’ and ‘-’ terminals of the DSP-DPS module is zero prior to any pulsing operation, and the relay is OFF. If
inverted mode is ON, then this voltage is 12V DC and therefore the relay is energized continuosly. The choice of ON
or OFF operation depends on how the grounding resistor current is connected. If the grounding resistor consists of
two series or two parallel resistors (one main resistor and one pulse resistor) with the pulse resistor to be switched in
and out by a solid state relay then the following two options exist:
1. Pulse Up Current
Pulsing upwards means to increase current; for example, from IGmax 5A to IGmax 10A. In this case the pulse resistor
is normally OFF and the Inverted Mode OFF would be selected. Pulsing would then change the current to a higher
level from 5A to 10A alternating when a 100% fault exists.
2. Pulse Down Current
Pulsing downwards means to reduce current; for example, from IGmax 5A to IGmax 2.5A. In this case, the pulse
resistor will be normally ON and thus the Inverted Mode ON mode would have to be selected. This means that the
solid state relay will be ON when the system is normal (no fault) and will open when pulsing is started, thus reducing
current.
DSP-OHMNI-PM grounding resistors require the inverter to be ON, in order to operate at the current rating indicated
on the name plate.
See Figure 18 for examples of both series and parallel connected resistor arrangements.
Note: INVERTED mode is the mode used with the standard OHMNI-PM resistors as supplied by I-Gard.
