CIn case of all SMR modules fails, what needs to be done in order to run
the station with out blanking the signals?
• In case a SMR module fails, you can charge the battery with an external
power supply of rated capacity (i.e. for 300AH battery needed charger is
126V/20Amps assuming 10 Amps for load and 10Amps for battery
charging)
• The battery will not give proper back up due to the following reasons.
Loose connections lead to drawing high currents, which may further lead
to burning at those points. Higher currents on account of loose
connections lead to draining out the battery faster and also improper
charging. Further heavy dust when gets with heavy moisture leads to
leakage currents. The battery currents may get diverted elsewhere
instead of supplying to loads.
Check for tightness of all icc’s and at all joints in the circuit. also keep
battery dry and clean
Restore source within the voltage window and further the gen set should
be in on condition till the battery attains full state of charge. also do not
allow system to run on battery when once “start generator” alarm is
annunciated.
Can we bypass any cells that may have been found defective? and use
the system with reduced number of cells whether VRLA or LMLA?
• It can be used but restricted to bypass only one or two cells with
adjustments in the voltage settings in the system. Do not do it without
calling manufacturer.
The system is supplied with 55cells VRLA battery. Can we connect LMLA
battery to the system in place of VRLA and vice versa?
• This is due to the poor Capacity of the Input feeder, to avoid this use
proper rated Input cable as well as Input feeder
Or
Poor load regulation of the D.G.set., to avoid this specified rated D.G.set.,
to to be used.
When do we have to switch ON GEN SET and switch OFF GEN SET?
• Whenever 50% DOD (start GEN SET) alarm present in ASM panel, we
have switched ON the GEN SET, and it has it has to switch OFF whenever
the charger comes to float mode.
