4.3 Automatic Fast return functions
(1) Description of the functions
The
ARG
has a function called “Automatic
Fast return functions”. It is a function
that the
ARG
will not be turned off even when the main power generator is
turned off for a moment. This function is valid under the following conditions.
・
If the ship temporary uses an electricity from the ground to start the
ARG
and then change it from the ship (power generator) to supply the
electricity.
・
If there are some power generators on the ship and want to change the
generator to get applicable electric capacity during the
ARG
’s operation.
A customer does not need to prepare extra parts or wirings to get this function.
(2) Procedure for Automatic Fast return function
A customer does not need to do special operation to get this function.
Table 4-2 describes the procedure to automatically recover the
ARG
after the
main power generator is temporarily turned off. When you use this Automatic
Fast return function, check carefully this procedure, the start check lamp and
rotation rate check lamp all the time.

Note1) When temporarily turning off the main power generator with the Automatic Fast
return functions used, keep the remote switch ON all the time. If you change it to
OFF during its operation, the
ARG
will be applied with excessive current and it will
start the protective function of the Motor Driver, causing the whole system to stop.
Note2) If you operate the
ARG
for the first time, follow the procedure below and Section 4.1
“Method of operation”. If you turn on the
ARG
by the main power generator or the
circuit breaker switch with a remote switch set to ON, it starts the Automatic Fast
return functions. Then the
ARG
takes for a while to start.
