Settings concerning control functions can be found in this submenu. These settings are available:
2.4.23.1 CONTROL ON / FREEZE / OFF
ON:
Automatic control is running
FREEZE:
Automatic control is stopped; status of exit relays is frozen
OFF:
Automatic control is stopped; all exit relays are off
2.4.23.2 SWITCH INTERVAL
The switch interval is the time delay between switching steps in regulation.
The switch interval has two different functions:
•
Protecting the contactors by reducing the number of switching cycles.
•
Building of the average of the reactive power in the time of the switch interval.
Step recognition is automatically set OFF, when switch interval is off.
In regulation mode LIFO, minimum switching interval is 1 sec longer, as the longest discharging
time. In HV-version, the minimum switching time delay is 8.7 sec.
2.4.23.3 SWITCH INTERVAL STEP EXCHANGE
For step exchange a separate switch interval is used. This is the delay-time between switching-off an active
step and switching-in the next step to get a better power-factor. Step exchange can be set active in menu
2.4.23.8.
2.4.23.4 ASYM. FACTOR
ASYMMETRY FACTOR of switch interval. The factor is the ratio between switch interval for switching on and
switching off. Switch interval for step exchange is not affected by this setting.
X= 1 = equal
X = +2 to +127: delay switching off = switch interval multiplied by X
X = -2 to -127: delay switching on = switch interval multiplied by X
