Monitoring
Station DC Battery System Monitor
The dc battery monitor measures the station battery voltage applied at the rear-
panel terminals labeled Vdc1 (+ and –) and Vdc2 (+ and –). Monitoring dc volt-
age during circuit breaker operation gives a quick test of the battery system,
which includes wiring and junctions from the batteries to the circuit breaker. In
the breaker report and in the breaker history report, the relay displays the mini-
mum value of station battery voltage during circuit breaker operation on a per-
pole basis.
NOTE:

EDCMON) to access station dc battery
monitor settings.

Word bits that assert when battery quantities exceed these settings thresholds.

tor settings.
Station DC Battery System Monitor Application
In addition to providing a view of how much the station dc battery voltage dips
when tripping, closing, and when other dc control functions occur, the dc monitor
also alarms for under- or overvoltage dc battery conditions in five sensing
regions. The following describes how to apply the dc battery monitor to a typical
125 Vdc protection battery system with a 48 Vdc communications equipment
battery system. Adjust the values used here to meet the specifications of your
company.
Battery Voltage
When setting the station dc battery monitor, you must determine the minimum
and maximum dc levels in the battery system. In addition, you must also establish
the threshold levels for different battery system states or conditions. The follow-
ing voltage levels describe these battery system conditions:
➤
Trip/Close—the lowest dc voltage point at which circuit breaker trip
and close operations occur
➤
Open-circuit—the dc battery voltage when all cells are fully charged
and not connected to the battery charger
➤
Float low—the lowest charging voltage supplied by the battery
charger
➤
Float high—the highest charging voltage supplied by the battery
charger
➤
Equalize mode—a procedure during which the batteries are
overcharged intentionally for a preselected time in order to bring all
cells to a uniform output
