2.4.23.5 STEP RECOGNITION
Pushing ◄►-key is changing between "ON" and "OFF".
"Step recognition OFF"
: Capacitor sizes should be programmed manually:
b) When fast-oscillating load influences automatic stepsize recognition.
c) When recognition of defective steps is not wished
d) When capacitor contactors are switching with a delay of more than 200msec.
"Step recognition ON"
Stepsizes are detected and corrected automatically during normal operation. “Step
recognition ON” is the factory setting. It allows monitoring of capacitor sizes and gives alarms when they are
faulty. Stepsizes which are programmed manually will be overwritten by step recognition.
2.4.23.6 SWITCH CYCLES BALANCING
Pushing ◄►-key is changing between "ON" and "OFF".
Balancing of switch cycles of capacitors with similar sizes produces an equal attrition of the contactors and
capacitors.
2.4.23.7 SWITCH CYCLES BALANCING %
Capacitors within this tolerance band are capacitors with similar sizes for switch cycles balancing.
2.4.23.8 STEP EXCHANGE
Pushing ◄►-key is changing between "ON" and "OFF".
This function helps to reach target cos
ϕ
more exactly, when capacitors have different sizes. If all capacitor
banks have the same size, this function makes no sense and in sme conditions the relay can start hunting.
2.4.23.9 CONTROL SENSITIVITY
Factory setting is 60%. This value can be set in a range between 55% and 100%.
