2.4.22.4 STEP NOMINAL VALUE
If STEP RECOGNITION is not active, it is required to do this setting, to get proper function of the relay.
STEP RECOGNITION is not active for “Fast” steps or if it is blocked (2.4.23.5) or for switch cycles less 1
sec.
The size of the capacitors can be programmed manually in kvar.
The programming can be done for each step individually in kvar. So there is no special sequence necessary.
A step can be programmed as a capacitor (c) or as an inductor (i). If you plan to use a mixed mode between
capacitors and inductors, please contact Beluk to get more information.
At BLR-Q(U)3phase capacitor size has to be programmed for each phase individually.
A three phase capacitor with 25kvar has to be programmed with 8,3kvar for each phase!
2.4.22.5 STEP RESET
Selecting this point all step sizes can be reset individually.
2.4.23 CONTROL
General explanations for a better understanding:
Cos phi control
is using “NORMAL” steps. The target of regulation of normal algorithm is calculated by tar-
get cos
ϕ
and apparent power of fundamental wave. The control deviation is a mean value over the periode
of SWITCH INTERVAL (adjustable).
Voltage control
General working principle of BLR-Q(U)
The controll target is the voltage adjusted at "NOM. V", which must be the voltage on primary side. In case
the voltage is droping/rising, the BLR-CM(Q) is switching in/out capacitor steps to increase/decrease the
voltage again.
This is be done following to the above charachteristic.
For better understanding all adjustable points are explained below:
"COS PHI CAP" is the capacitive border of the charachteristic and will be used togehter with "SET POINT 1".
As example, when you've adjusted "SET POINT 1 0.96 NOM.V" and "COS PHI CAP c0.90" the regulator will
use target power factor c0.90 in case the measured voltage is 10560V instead of 11000 ("SET POINT 1 0.96
NOM.V" = 0.96 * 11kV =10560).
"COS PHI CENTER" is just the center point of the charachteristic and is used when the voltage does not
deviate from adjusted "NOM. V".
"COS PHI IND" is the inductive border of the charachteristic and will be used togehter with "SET POINT 4".
As example, when you've adjusted "SET POINT 4 1.08 NOM.V" and "COS PHI IND i0.95" the regulator will
use target power factor i0.95 in case the measured voltage is 11880V instead of 11000 ("SET POINT 4 1.08
NOM.V" = 1.08 * 11kV =11880V).
The "SET POINT 2" and "SET POINT 3" working with the same calculation as "SET POINT 4" and "SET
POINT 1".
They can be just used to build an area where the voltage is not corrected.
