1 INTRODUCTION The Rectifier-Battery Charger (RTB_e) is a
static thyristor AC/DC converter, controlled by a 16-bit microprocessor. The control is full digital and the structure of the software is open. This allows us to configure the system and to modify its operation according to the customer’s Technical Specification (ST).
2 GENERAL DESCRIPTION The RTB_e rectifier converts the alternate
voltage in the input, with frequency and amplitude variable according to the ST, into a continuous output voltage that is stabilized in voltage and controlled in current, by means of a three-phase SCR rectifier bridge (6 pulses version) or a couple of bridges connected in parallel (12 pulses version).
The galvanic isolation of the input mains (when required by the ST) is carried out by means of a transformer. Additional protection against power surges, under and over voltage are included as a standard. Optionally we can provide a grounded screen between the and secondary windings and semiconductor fast transient protection devices (varistors).
A programmable soft-start, reducing the inrush current of the rectifier during the start up, is included as a standard.
The system is provided with an alphanumeric display interface and keyboard (front panel) for the programming of the parameters and the visualisation of the measurements. Also RS232 for PC remote and RS485 (MODBUS protocol) interfaces are available.
In “Manual Regulation” mode it is possible to set the output rectifier voltage by means of external potentiometers. In this modality a maximum current limitation (to be set) is also active.
The transfer command “AUTOMATIC/MANUAL” and vice-versa is activated by means of key on the front panel; it is also possible to carry out the same command through the remote PC.
The front panel shows the operating status of the equipment, all the measures, the alarms and settings. The memory history can store up to 500 events in a non volatile memory with calendar.
The system can be interfaced with similar equipment through a digital link for parallel operation with the equal sharing of the load (+/-5% tolerance) and automatic exclusion of the faulty unit.
The different parts composing a standard Rectifier-Battery Charger are: 1. Input MCCB and output Load switch (battery
breaker in option) 2. Insulation transformer
3. 6 or 12 pulses thyristor bridge 4. Output filter (to reduce the voltage the ripple
at < 1%) 5. Front panel with LCD, Keyboard, Leds and
Power Flow Diagram 6. Voltage control loop, total current and
battery current individual control loops
3 TECHNICAL CHARACTERISTICS For technical characteristics see the attached
data sheet.
4 PROGRAMMING AND PARAMETER SETTING
The parameter menu on the front panel allows to adjust the various intervention thresholds for the alarms and the status changes of the equipment.
In alternative the programming can be carried out by PC connected to the serial port RS232, using the dedicated software.
At the end of the setting the modified parameters must be memorized in the non-volatile memory (EEPROM).
5 ALARMS, STATUS AND SIGNALS
The RTB_e control system offers the following list of alarms and statuses to help the user to better understand the status of the Rectifier and Battery. For the complete description of the alarms and statuses below mentioned see the chapter FRONT PANEL of the Operating Manual.

6 FRONT PANEL The RTB_e front panel consists in an 4 rows
alphanumeric display and 16 operating keys. It allows the complete monitoring of the RTB_e status and the setting of all operating parameters.
The power flow diagram facilitates the comprehension of the operating status.
Picture 1 – Front panel
The front panel main functions are: - Show all the relevant input and output
current, voltage and frequency measures - Show all the alarms and status of the
RTB_e - Set all the relevant functional parameters
and set-points - Show the events history The following remote connections are also
available: 1. Through an RS232 protocol 2. Through a ModBus RS485 protocol A periodical programmable automatic test of
the status of the batteries is also possible. In case of mains fault the RTB_e can provide a signalling (optical or through free contacts) of up to four pre-programmed discharging levels of the battery (voltage relay function).
7 BATTERY CHARGER FUNCTIONS
When the RTB_e is used as rectifier and battery charger it can carry out the following functions (selectable according to the requirements of the ST): 7.1 AUTOMATIC RECHARGE OF THE
BATTERY When selected the rectifier recharges the
battery automatically, according to the predefined modalities. The recharging cycle begins consequently according to one of the following events (which are programmable):
- Mains failure for a period longer than the programmed value
- Intervention of the current threshold. - Intervention of the voltage threshold.
BATTERY CHARGER General data

- Timed boost charge The predefined cycles can be programmed in
the Menu Parameters. 7.1.1 Recharge IU according to the DIN
41773 standard The recharge is divided in two different
phases: - Phase 1: the current is constant and the
voltage increases. - Phase 2: the current decreases and the
voltage is constant. When the recharging current goes below a
certain value the battery is assumed fully recharged and the cycle ends. Consequently the output voltage is set at the floating level. During the floating the battery voltage is controlled as minimum value in order to avoid undesirable discharges, and as maximum value in order to avoid excessive heating of the electrolyte. The “thermal compensation” of the floating voltage in function of the battery temperature can be added as an option.
Picture 2 – IU recharge
7.1.2 I1 I2 U recharge This recharge is used mainly for Ni-Cd
batteries. During the recharge a boost charge of approx. 125% is provided, to compensate the losses in discharge and recharge of the battery (estimated in approx. 25%). The recharge works as follows:
If the mains fails for a time longer than the programmable threshold, when the mains returns the output voltage of the rectifier switches to a level higher than the floating, called boost charge and a safety timer is activated. If the recharging current exceeds the programmed threshold, normally a certain percent of C10, the voltage is maintained and a first phase of boost charge starts, where the current is constant and the voltage is increasing.
After a certain time the current starts to decrease and the voltage remains constant at the boost charge level. This is the second phase of the boost charge. Finally, when the current go down below the programmed level for the return in floating, the output voltage of the rectifier is
taken back to floating. If this does not happen within the max. programmed time, the safety timer blocks the charge and the voltage is forced to floating. This event generates an alarm.
Picture 3 – I1 I2 U recharge
7.1.3 U1 U2 I recharge This recharge is used mainly for Ni-Cd
batteries. During the recharge a boost charge of approx. 125% is provided, to compensate the losses in discharge and recharge of the battery (estimated in approx. 25%). The recharge works as follows:
If the mains fails for a time which is longer than the programmable threshold, when the mains returns the output voltage of the RTB_e switches to a level higher than the floating, called boost charge and a safety timer is activated.
If the recharging voltage doesn’t exceed the programmed crossing threshold, normally a certain percent of the floating, the voltage is maintained and a first phase of boost charge starts, where the current is constant and the voltage is increasing.
After a certain time the recharging voltage reaches the programmed level for the second phase of boost charge; a timer is started and the battery is kept under boost charge conditions for the time programmed. After this time has elapsed the output voltage of the rectifier is switched back to the floating value. If this does not happen within the maximum programmed time, the safety timer block the charge and the voltage is forced to floating. This event generates an alarm.
Picture 4 – U1 U2 I recharge
7.2 TIMED BOOST CHARGE This recharge is used mainly for Ni-Cd
batteries. During the recharge a boost charge of approx. 125% is provided, to compensate the

losses in discharge and recharge of the battery (estimated in approx. 25%). The recharge works as follows:
If the mains fails for a time longer than the programmable threshold, when the mains returns the output voltage of the rectifier switches to a level higher than the floating, called boost charge for a pre-programmed time. The boost charge command can also be associated to an external command.
Picture 5 – Timed recharge
7.3 MANUAL RECHARGE The manual recharge of the battery, called
also of forming or of equalizing is a function offered by the RTB_e that allows the operator to carry out a recharge under his own manual control. This modality of recharge can be used to form the battery after that it has been stocked for a long period, or after that the electrolyte has been filled up, in the case of batteries having been shipped dry, or in order to equalize the voltage of the battery cells after having been used for a certain period.
The manual recharge procedure is described in detail in the relevant menu of the FRONT PANEL chapter of the Operating Manual. Generally, when manual recharge is selected it is possible to change manually the output voltage by means of a potentiometer to vary the recharging battery current. Such current is however always limited to a pre-selectable maximum value.
8 PARALLEL REDUNDANT OPERATION
Two rectifiers can operate in parallel redundant configuration, connected through blocking diodes to a single DC bus-bar, where the DC loads and one or two battery banks are connected.
Picture 6 – RTB_e in parallel with single battery
Picture 7 – RTB_e in parallel with two separated batteries
The rectifiers are connected by means of a communication cable, through which all the information necessary for the current sharing and the alarms management are exchanged.
During the floating charge each RTB_e supply the 50% of the total load (Active Current Sharing), therefore in case of failure of one unit the load is supplied by the remaining rectifier without affecting the DC bus-bar.
During a mains failure the batteries supply the necessary energy.
The battery charging cycle is automatically started upon the mains return; during the current limitation phase (operation as current generator) the current is completely supplied by the RTB_e #1, whereas the RTB_e #2 follows the DC bus-bar voltage without supplying any current. In case of failure of the RTB_e #1 the load is supplied by the RTB_e #2, still operative, without affecting the DC bus-bar. At the end of the current limitation phase the Active Current Sharing control is restored.
In case two batteries are connected to the DC bus-bar the recharge is carried out limiting the battery that absorbs the highest current.
The Active Current Sharing and the current limitation on the double battery are automatically enabled or disabled according to the position of

1. INTRODUCTION
The purpose of this manual is to briefly describe the parts of the RTB.e, and to guide the electrician or user for the correct installation of the equipment on site.
The electrician or the user will have to read and carry out correctly the instructions given in this manual, with particolar attention to the safety requirements in compliance with the CEI 64-8 standards and the DPR 46-90.
The manufacturer declines any responsability of damage to people or things,
deriving from the non-fulfilment of the instructions. The RTB.e system consists in one 6 pulse rectifier with SCR (thyristor) technology
developed as per Technical Specification 46-TMSS-02 rev. 0, as supply system for continuous loads and battery-charger.
For this purpose the manual must be integrated with the Technical Drawings (TD), the Technical Specification 46-TMSS-02 rev. 0 (TS) and the Data Sheet (DS) to be applied with the RTB.e system.
As all the functions of control and regulation are carried out completely digitally, by means of the use of a 16 bit microprocessor, the user interface, which is the front panel, allows to vary all the operating parameters such as the output voltage, the max. battery current and so on.
We recommend expert personnel to carry out such functions. In order to protect the system from wrong programming the menu’s are protected by password. The password is different for each system and will be communicated to the user during the installation.

2. RTB.e GENERAL DESCRIPTION
2.1 TYPOLOGY The RTB.e rectifier converts the alternate voltage in the input, 480Vac 3Ph 60Hz, into
a continuous output voltage 125Vdc that is stabilized in voltage and controlled in current, by means of a three-phase SCR rectifier bridge (6 pulses version).
The galvanic isolation of the input mains is carried out by means of a power transformer DY11 480/131Vac 3Ph 60Hz.
ATTENTION
The RTB.e can be connected to a battery system and therefore supplied during the absence of mains . Ensure that no voltages are present, both alternate than continuous, before operating inside the RTB.e equipment.
2.1.1 Basic structure The RTB.e basic structure, which is documented in the TD drawings, is the following:
• The input mains is filtered by the high frequency emission filter (EMI), protected
by the input surge suppressor (MOV) and enters the primary of the input transformer T1, trough the Q1-RICB breaker.
• Both the syncronization signals for the control of the SCR firing angle and the
measurement of the input currents are taken from the auxiliary transformer T9 and T10 connected to the primary side of input transformer T1.
• The supply voltage for the control logics (redounded from the battery) is taken
from the secondary side. The SCR bridge is connected to the secondary by means of the proctection fuses.
• The control logic mounted in the rack named DR16 is composed by the
following boards: BP-DR16 Cod. N_TR3004 Interconnection panel
PS-DR16 Cod. N_TR3005 Power supply DR16-COMP Cod. N_TR3006 Control board (CPU)
• The firing of the SCR’s is controlled by the DR16 board and is carried out by
means of the board: RTF Cod. N_TR3002 SCR firing board
• The rectified and controlled voltage is filtered by the group L1 (series chokes),
C1 (parallel capacitor), calculated in function of the maximum ripple allowed in the TS.

• At the output of that group, the feedback voltage for the voltage control is taken upstream the blocking diode DB; the measurement of the total output current (for the total limitation) is always carried out by the lem U1 and the discharge and recharge current by the lem U2 and voltage of the battery are also measured.
• The RTB.e output is connected to the DC distribution input Q5-QGD switch by
means of the Q2-ROCB switch. The DC distribution is connected to the Battery Fuse Box by means of Q7-BCB switch.
Picture 1 – Drawing of principles
2.1.2 Protection The main protections of the RTB.e are listed below: The thermal protection of the brigde is carried out both by thermoswitches, which are
placed on each heat sink, and by calculation of the thermal image. The thermal image is calculated measuring the output current. If it exceeds by 100%
the nominal current but remains lower than 120%, the overload is accepted for 20 minutes before the RTB.e is stopped.
Over 120% normally the output current limitation intervenes and the RTB.e works as a current generator.
If the output current is between 120 % and 150 % the overcurrent is accepted for 2 minutes before the RTB.e is stopped. Above 150% the overcurrent is accepted for 20 seconds only.
The electrical protection of the bridges is carried out by means of a fuses placed on each input phase and in series to the SCR. In addition, the ouput current limitation limits the peak current supplied by the each SCR.
The correct value of the supplied voltages is checked by means of the double measurement of the output and battery voltage. Moreover the correct operation of the control loop is also verified.
Each step of the battery recharge is controlled and supervised by a safety timer.

2.1.3 User interface The user can interface with the RTB.e system by means of the following devices: - Front panel SFP with alphanumeric LCD display. - Serial port RS232 and control software. - Free voltage contact board (ARC card N_TR3009).
2.2 SYSTEM CONFIGURATION
2.2.1 6 Pulses Rectifier The configuration of the RTB.e is a 6 pulses three phase SCR bridge. It is
dimentioned to supply a continuous load and to recharge the battery at the maximum recharging current provided in the TS and DS. The standard value of the harmonic distortion (THD) re-injected into the mains by a 6 pulse rectifier is < 27%.
Picture 2 – 6 pulse rectifier
2.2.3 Front panel The front panel RTB.e is composed by a 4-row alphanumeric display at plus an
alphanumeric multi-function keyboard. It allows the complete monitoring of the RTB.e status, the programming of the paramenters and the execution of the main functions.
The power flow diagram helps to comprehend the RTB.e operating status and the system conditions. For further information see chapter “FRONT PANEL”.

3. BATTERY CHARGER FUNCTIONS
The RTB.e used as rectifier and battery charger can carry out the following functions according to the requirements of the ST and DS: 3.1 AUTOMATIC RECHARGE OF THE BATTERY
3.1.1 Automatic recharge of the battery The automatic recharging cycle begins consequently according to one of the
following events (which are programmable): - Mains failure for a longer period than the programmed value - Intervention of the current threshold. - Intervention of the voltage threshold.
The predefined cycles can be programmed in the Menu Parameters. The automatic recharging cycle is programmed for intervention of current threshold.
3.1.2 Recharge IU according to the DIN 41773 standard The recharge undergoes to phases: - Phase 1: the current is constant and the voltage increases. - Phase 2: the current decreases and the voltage is constant. When the recharging current goes below a certain value the battery is assumed fully
recharged and the cycle ends. Consequently the output voltage is set at the floating level. During the floating the battery voltage is controlled as minimum value in order to avoid undesirable discharges, and towards as maximum value in order to avoid excessive heating of the electrolyte. The “thermal compensation” of the floating voltage in function of the battery temperature can be added as an option.

3.1.3 I1 I2 U recharge This recharge is used mainly for Ni-Cd batteries. During the recharge a boost charge
of approx. 125% is provided, to compensate the losses in discharge and recharge of the battery (estimated in approx. 25%). The recharge works as follows:
If the mains fails for a time which is longer than the programmable threshold, when
the mains returns the output voltage of the RTB.e is taken to a higher level than the floating, called boost charge and a safety timer is activated. If the recharging current exceeds the programmed crossing threshold, normally a certain percent of C10, the voltage is maintained and a first phase of boost charge starts, in which the current is constant and the voltage is increasing.
After a certain time the current starts to decrease and the voltage remains constant at the level of boost charge. This is the second phase of the boost charge. Finally, when the current goes below the programmed level for the return in floating, the output voltage of the RTB.e is taken back to floating. If this does not happen within the max. programmed time, the safety timer intervenes and the voltage is forced to floating. This event generates an alarm.
Picture 4 – I1 I2 U recharge
3.1.4 U1 U2 I recharge This recharge is used mainly for Ni-Cd batteries. During the recharge a boost charge
of approx. 125% is provided, to compensate the losses in discharge and recharge of the battery (estimated in approx. 25%). The recharge works as follows:
If the mains fails for a time which is longer than the programmable threshold, when
the mains returns the output voltage of the RTB.e is taken to a higher level than the floating, called boost charge and a safety timer is activated.
If the recharging voltage doesn’t exceed the programmed crossing threshold, normally a certain percent of the floating, the voltage is maintained and a first phase of boost charge starts, in which the current is constant and the voltage is increasing.
After a certain time the recharging voltage reaches the programmed level for the second phase of boost charge; a timer is started and the battery is kept under boost

charge conditions for the time programmed. After this time has elapsed the output voltage of the RTB.e is brought back to the floating value. If this does not happen within the maximum programmed time, the safety timer intervenes and the voltage is forced to floating. This event generates an alarm.
Picture 5 – U1 U2 I recharge
3.1.5 Manual recharge The manual recharge of the battery, called also of forming or of equalizing is a
function offered by the RTB.e that allows the operator to carry out a recharge under his own manual control. This modality of recharge can be used to form the battery after that it has been stocked for a long period, or after that the electrolyte has been filled up, in the case of batteries having been shipped dry, or in order to equalize the voltage of the battery cells after having been used for a certain period.
The manual recharge procedure is described in detail in the relevant menu of the FRONT PANEL chapter. Generally, when manual recharge is selected it is possibile to intervene manually on the output voltage by means of a potentiometer to vary the recharging battery current. Such current is however always limited to a preselectable maximum value.

4. INSTALLATION
Th installation of the RTB.e must be carried out by qualified personnel. The information contained in this manual will have to be integrated with the technical monograph, the technical specification and all technical back-up documentation. In order to verify the updated status of such documentation please contact our Technical Office.
4.1 RECEIPT OF THE RTB.e Upon receipt of the RTB.e remove the packaging and carried out an accurate visual
control, in order to make sure that the equipment has not been damaged during transport.
IMPORTANT In case of damage during transport, please submit your claim directly to the
shipping agency immediately after reception of the equipment. If the RTB.e is not installed immediately, keep it stocked in vertical position as
indicated on the packaging, and stock it in a dry and sheltered place and cover it with a packaging to protect it from dust.
4.2 RTB.e HANDLING For the handling of the RTB.e before its final positioning we suggest to leave it on its
wooden pallet to avoid risks of overturning. Before final positioning, remove the RTB.e from its palled removing the fixing bolts. The RTB.e can be lifted and moved by means of a forklift or by eyebolts. Please
verify the back-up documentation before handling. 4.3 POSITIONING ON SITE
The RTB.e must be installed in a clean ,dry and possibly not dusty place. The installer must ensure that the environment has enough air exchange so that the equipment can cool itself adeguately. Should this not be guaranteed then the environment will have to be cooled adeguately.
If the technical specification provides of a IPxx protection degree higher than IP20, the installer will have to ensure that the environment is compatible with the requested protection degree.
4.3.1 Basic plant, static load and weights The relevant data of the RTB.e are contained in the Technical Drawings in annex.
4.3.2 Distances to be observed Unless other given indications contained in the Technical Drawings, below we are
suggesting the distances to be observed: Minimum distance from the rear wall: x = 50 mm. Minimum distance from the top : y = 500 mm. Minimum distance from the front wall: d = 1000 mm.

4.4 ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS The electrical connections are part of the installation and must be carried out by
specialized personnel, following the indication of the Technical Drawings. The RTB.e manufacturer is not responsible of the electrical connection. It is recommended to carry out the installation and input and output electrical connections according to the local standards.
During the electrical installations take special care to respect the sequence of the input phases.
ATTENTION
The connection to the mains has to be carried out by interposing protections fuses between the mains and the RTB.e.
The use of residual protection devices in the mains supply line of the RTB.e is not recommended; the current dispersion to the ground, due to the RFI filters is quite high and can cause undesired protection interventions.
In compliance with the EN50091-1 standards , differential devices with settable intervention threshold can be used, in order to keep into consideration the current dispersion of the RTB.e.
4.4.1 Terminal boards The position of the input, output and signalling terminal boards is shown in the
Technical Drawings. It is recommended to consider the recommended cable sections. 4.5 EXTERNAL BATTERY AND BATTERY FUSE BOX
The external battery is used to keep the output loads energized even in the case of mains failure. During the battery discharge, the control logic of the RTB.e remains supplied allowing the signalling of the discharge levels.
IMPORTANT
The battery voltage is present inside the RTB.e even in case of mains failure. Disconnect the external battery before maintenance.
The battery switch is assembled inside the DC distribution panel and between RTB.e
and Battery banks there is a Battery Fuse Box with power protection fuses, battery voltage and current instruments and Battery High Impedance monitor.
Connect the auxiliary contact to the RTB.e according to the indications on the Technical Drawings.

and
6
-
If the RTB.e is set on Manual it switches to Normal and viceversa.
NOTE This key works as a two positions switch M-A that remains positioned on the last
selected position. This means that if NORMAL has been selected the RTB.e remains in Normal mode until the operating mode is changed into in MANUAL.
Normally the RTB.e is used to recharge the battery automatically and therefore
the NORMAL mode is selected. The battery manual recharge, called also equalizing, is a function offered by the
RTB.e to allow the operator to carry out a recharge under his own manual control. This recharge modality can be used to form the battery after it has been stocked
for a long period, or after having filled it up with electrolyte, in case of dry delivered batteries, or to equalize the voltage of the battery cells after these have been used for a certain time.
The manual recharge procedure is the following:
Step 1: With RTB.e shutdown the battery voltage that has to be equalized is measured.
Step 2: Enter menu PARAMETERS, menu MANUAL CHARGE (See 3.2.8.2 Parameters Manual Charge), and set, in the following order :
a. The setup voltage (SETP_VDC_EQUAL) in Volt. b. The max charge current (CORR_LIM_EQUAL) in Amp. c. The max time of permanence (MAXTIME EQUAL) in minutes.
Step 3: The regulation potentiometer is positioned at approx. 10%. Step 4: Enter the menu NORMAL-MANUAL and select the MANUAL mode; in
this way the position of the potentiometer is read as starting setup voltage for the equalizing charge.
Front Panel
18 of 45 JGE410502 Issued 10.12.2008
Step 5: Start-up the RTB.e. The voltage goes to the starting set-up value. By means of the potentiometer the voltage of the batteries to be equalized can be varied, controlling the recharge current in conformity with the battery specifications. The current however cannot go over the set limit. If it remains in this condition for a longer time than the set limit the voltage returns automatically to the starting setup value.
Step 6: At the end of the procedure shutdown the RTB.e and select again the NORMAL mode; in this way the automatic recharge system is enabled again.
Step 7: Re-start the RTB.e. This procedure can be repeated several time to fraction the forming charge in
several steps with the current limits in different times.
IMPORTANT The manual recharge function or equalizing cannot be used for all types of
batteries. The responsibility of the correct use of the batteries is of the operator. We recommend the use of the manual charge only by specialized personnel.
The choices to carry out and the recharging mode depend on the type of battery installed. For more information consult the Technical Monograph and the Technical Specification.

Now the two modes of boost charge are described, and the relevant parameters
that can be changed in this submenu:
a) CURRENT BOOST, or rather recharge I1 I2 U This recharge is mainly used for Ni-Cd batteries. During the recharge the over-
charge of about 125% is provided (called also boost-charge), to compensate the losses in discharge and charge of the battery (estimated in about 25% ). The recharge takes place as follows:
If the mains fails for a time exceeding the programmed time in
MAX_TIME_MAINS_FAULT, at the restart the output voltage of the RTB.e is taken to a higher level than floating, called boost charge and a safety timer is activated.

That current is memorized in the variable CORR_FLOAT_BOOST.
After a certain time the current starts to decrease and the voltage remains constant at the level of boost charge. This is the second phase of the boost charge. Finally, when the current goes below the programmed level for the return in floating the output voltage of the RTB.e it is taken back to floating.
The following screen shows how to set the return threshold:

The test works as follows:
Step 1: The output voltage of the RTB.e is set at the first dicharge level LIVELLO1.
Step 2: The battery discharges at the current Idisc which depends on the connected load.
Step 3: The discharging current Idisc is compared to the output nominal current of the RTB.e Inom.
Step 4: The battery is discharged for Tdisc = Inom / Idisc (minutes), up to the max time of: Tdisc ≤ 3 (minutes). Step 5: If LIVELLO1 is reached, the test is stopped, the floating voltage is
restored and the test fails TEST_OK = 0. If during Tdisc, the battery voltage doesn’t reach LIVELLO1 the RTB.e is set back to the floating and the test is successful (TEST_OK = 1).
Step 6: If, during the test, the 0 Key is pressed the test is stopped, the RTB.e is set back to the floating and the variable TEST_OK is not changed.
IMPORTANT
The responsibility of the correct use of the batteries is of the operator. We recommend the use of the manual charge only by specialized personnel.

4 of 9 JUD411353 First Issue 28/01/09
3.3 SOFTWARE DESCRIPTION The software allows to check values variables and system parameters, as well as to
perform settings. Therefore it is a necessary testing tool, whereas parameters can also be changed using the front panel.
As a rule, the software allows to display the status of the system updated in real time. Communication is therefore unidirectional from RTB.e to the PC.
When the communication is properly performed, the window named N. Bytes contains a number ranging from 1 to 250.

1. GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF THE UNIT
1.1 TYPOLOGY Rectifier RTB.e converts the alternate input voltage having a variable amplitude and
frequency into a constant-voltage and current-controlled direct output power source. Its function is to control the output values via a three-phase fully controlled SCR rectifier bridge (6-pulse version) or via two of these paralleled bridges (12-pulse version).
Galvanic insulation from the input mains (when provided for by the technical specification is achieved via a transformer.
1.1.1 Basic structure The basic structure of RTB.e is the following: • The input mains crosses the EMI filter for high frequency emissions and gets
into the primary winding of input transformer T1, via isolator RICB. The synchronism signals are taken from the primary winding for the control of the
SCR firing angle, the input currents for the measurement and the supply voltage for the control logic (battery redounded)
• The secondary winding is connected to the SCR bridge via protection fuses.
• In the 12-pulse version, the input transformer has got 2 secondary windings and 2 SCR bridges.
• The control logic, housed in the rack named DR16, consists of the following
cards: BP-DR16 Id. no. N_FS3004 Interconnection panel PS-DR16 Id. no. N_FS3005 System power supply DR16-COMP Id. no. N_FS3006 Control card (CPU) CAN-LINK Id. no. N_FS3011 Connection card CAN_BUS (optional
for parallel redundant configuration)
• The firing of the SCR’s is controlled by card DR16-COMP, and is performed via card: RTF Id. no. N_FS3002 SCR firing card
• The rectified and controlled voltage is filtered by an L (series inductance) and C
(paralleled capacitors) unit, calculated in accordance with the maximum ripple voltage provided for by the Technical Specification.
• On the output of said unit, a feedback voltage is taken for the voltage control
and measurements are made regarding the total output current (for the total limitation), as well as the charging and discharging current and voltage of the battery, if this function is provided.

4 of 12 JUD411354 First Issue 28/01/09
• The RCN output is connected to the loads via isolator ROCB.
Figure 1 – RCN block diagram
1.1.2 6-pulse Rectifier (Standard) The type of standard bridge configuration used by RTB.e is three-phase, fully
controlled, with SCR’s and 6 pulses. It is so sized as to supply direct current loads and to recharge the battery to the maximum charging current provided for by the Technical Specification. The nominal standard value of the current harmonic distortion (THD) reintroduced into the mains by a 6-pulse rectifier is < 27%.
1.1.3 12-pulse Rectifier (Optional) The 12-pulse configuration is used to reduce the current harmonic distortion (THD)
reintroduced into the mains, to a value < 12%. This prevents affecting the supply line while respecting the other loads, and avoids
the overheating of cables due to the circulation of harmonics. It consists of two rectifier bridges which, thanks to a phase-shift transformer, operate
with 30° difference, eliminating the harmonics typical of 6-pulse bridges, namely the 5th and the 7th harmonic. As a consequence, the harmonics left are the highest ones, namely the 11th, the 13th and multiple ones.

1 INTRODUCTION This troubleshooting includes a first-level fault description based on the rectifier alarms and
suggests how to check the unit to solve the problems. This description assumes that all the connections inside the unit are correct: check them (connectors, power cables, signals and so on) before to start with the procedures. The first-level troubleshooting eventually leads to the substitution of the components of the Rectifier without attempting to repair them.
The procedures listed below takes into account the operator is provided with all the testing tools and perfectly confident with the test software.
2 TROUBLESHOOTING PROCEDURES
2.1 A1 – MAINS FAULT This alarm normally indicates that there is no power at the input of the Rectifier. The mains
voltage is acquired on the connector M1 of the back panel card BP-DR16 (N_FS3004) through the auxiliary transformer T10.
2.1.1 Troubleshooting procedure 1. Is the input voltage present and within the tolerance?
YES: go to step #2 NO: check the rectifier supply line
2. Measure the rectifier input voltage and compare the measure with the reading on the
DR16-Test screen (or front panel). Are the values shown equal to those measured? YES: go to step #6 NO: go to step #3
3. Check the fuses F11. Is there any fuse blown? YES: replace the broken fuse(s) NO: go to step #4
4. Check the auxiliary transformer T10 by measuring the secondary voltages directly on the transformer terminals. Do the voltage values match the transformer rating plate? YES: replace the card PS-DR16. Go to step #5 NO: replace the transformer T10
5. Is the problem solver after replacing the card PS-DR16? YES: END NO: replace the card DR-16
6. Is the variable RMSOK active on the DR16-Test software? YES: go to step #7 NO: check the phase sequence
7. Is the variable FROK active on the DR16-Test software? YES: replace the card DR-16 NO: go to step #8
8. Measure the rectifier input frequency. Is it within the tolerance limits? YES: replace the card DR-16 NO: check and/or adjust the input frequency window
BATTERY CHARGER troubleshooting procedures
4 of 10 JUD411295 First Issue 24/01/09
2.2 A2 – BLOWN FUSES This alarm normally indicates that there is a rectifier input fuse blown. The normally closed contact of the fuses is connected to the connector M18 (13-14) of the
back panel card BP-DR16 (N_FS3004). For the 12-pulse configuration the contact of the protection fuses of the slave bridge is connected to the connector M18 (9-10).
2.2.1 Troubleshooting procedure 1. Check the rectifier input fuses. Are they OK?
YES: go to step #2 NO: replace the broken fuse(s)
2. Check the connection between the auxiliary contact of the fuses and the connector
M18 of the card BP-DR16. Is it OK? YES: replace the card DR-16 NO: re-connect or replace the interconnection cable
2.3 A3 – HIGH TEMPERATURE This alarm indicates that the thermal switch on the bridge heatsink has stopped the rectifier.
The thermal switch(es) B1 (B1÷B3) mounted on the rectifier bridge heatsink(s) is normally closed, as the temperature exceeds 90°C the thermal switch opens. The signal comes directly from the switch to the connector M18 (11-12) of the back panel card BP-DR16. For the 12-pulse configuration the contact of the thermal switch of the slave bridge is connected to the connector M18 (7-8).
2.3.1 Troubleshooting procedure 1. Is the temperature of the heatsink lower than 80°C?
YES: go to step #2 NO: go to step #4
2. Check the thermal switch contact. Is it OK? YES: go to step #3 NO: replace the faulty thermal switch
3. Check the connection between the thermal switch(es) and the connector M18 of the card BP-DR16. Is it OK? YES: replace the DR-16 NO: re-connect or replace the interconnection cable
4. Are the cooling fans correctly working? YES: check the load. Repeated overloads (alarm A4) have caused the rectifier
overheating NO: replace the faulty fan(s)
2.4 A4 – OVERLOAD / THERMAL IMAGE This alarm gets two different meanings, according to the operating conditions; normally it
indicates that the rectifier is overloaded, and after a certain time (basing on the overload rate) the rectifier is stopped by the thermal image protection and the alarms become “Thermal Image”. The output current transformer measures a current exceeding the nominal output current. The alarm is activated and the microprocessor starts to calculate the energy pulse I2t.
BATTERY CHARGER troubleshooting procedures
First Issue 24/01/09 JUD411295 5 of 10
2.4.1 Troubleshooting procedure 1. Measure the output current with a current clamp. Does it exceed the rectifier nominal
current? YES: END. A overload is present. Check and/or reduce the load. NO: go to step #2
2. Compare the measure with the reading on the DR16-Test screen (or front panel). Is the value shown equal to the measured one? YES: replace the card DR-16 NO: replace the output current transformer TA1 and re-adjust the output current
reading with the DR16-Test software. Go to step #3 3. Repeat the step #2. Is the value shown equal to the measured one?
YES: END. Check that the load doesn’t exceed the nominal load. NO: replace the card DR-16
2.5 A5 – MAX OUTPUT VOLTAGE This alarm normally indicates that the rectifier output voltage is higher than the set limit. The
value can be checked through the front panel under PARAMETERS. The alarm provides to switch the rectifier off and remains stored. It can be reset manually from the front panel.
2.5.1 Troubleshooting procedure 1. Reset the alarm and measure the rectifier output voltage after the start-up. Is it higher
than the limit? YES: replace the CARD DR-16 NO: go to step #2
2. Compare the measure with the reading on the DR16-Test screen (or front panel). Is the
value shown equal to the measured one? YES: replace the CARD DR-16 NO: re-adjust the measure with the command VRECxxx. Go to step #3
3. Re-start the rectifier. Does the alarm occur again?
YES: replace the CARD DR-16 NO: END
2.6 A6 – MIN OUTPUT VOLTAGE This alarm normally indicates that the rectifier output voltage is lower than the set limit. The
value can be checked through the front panel under PARAMETERS.
2.6.1 Troubleshooting procedure 1. Open the battery breaker and measure the rectifier output voltage. Does the alarm
disappear? YES: the rectifier was in current limitation mode. Check the battery NO: go to step #2
2. Check the measure on the DR16-Test screen (or front panel). Is the value shown equal
to zero? YES: go to step #3 NO: go to step #4

5. Re-start the rectifier. Does the alarm occur again?
YES: replace the CARD DR-16 NO: END
2.7 A7 – CHARGING FAULT This alarm normally indicates that there’s something wrong with the batteries and the rectifier
is not capable of providing a suitable charge. It depends on three different alarm conditions, all of them shown in the front panel under the alarm row.
2.7.1 Troubleshooting procedure (Wrong Floating Low) 1. Check the battery voltage measure on the DR16-Test screen (or front panel). Is the
value shown equal to zero? YES: go to step #3 NO: go to step #4
2. Check the fuses F14. Is there any fuse blown? YES: replace the broken fuse(s) NO: replace the CARD DR-16
3. Measure the battery voltage and compare the value with the reading on the DR16-Test screen (or front panel). Is the value shown equal to the measured one? YES: replace the CARD DR-16 NO: re-adjust the measure with the command VBATxxx. Go to step #5
4. Re-start the rectifier. Does the alarm occur again?
YES: replace the CARD DR-16 NO: END
2.7.2 Troubleshooting procedure (Wrong Floating High) 1. Measure the battery voltage and compare the measure with the reading on the DR16-
Test screen (or front panel). Is the value shown equal to the measured one? YES: replace the CARD DR-16 NO: re-adjust the measure with the command VBATxxx. Go to step #5
2. Re-start the rectifier. Does the alarm occur again? YES: replace the CARD DR-16 NO: END
2.7.3 Troubleshooting procedure (Safety timer) When the alarm A7 depends on the operation of the safety timer the batteries are probably
old or worn out and need to be checked carefully. If the batteries are in order the problem is probably in the rectifier control loop, so we suggest to replace the card DR-16.
BATTERY CHARGER troubleshooting procedures
First Issue 24/01/09 JUD411295 7 of 10
2.8 A8 – FANS FAILURE This alarm normally indicates that there is at least one defective cooling fan. The normally closed contact coming from the fans monitoring card FMC is connected to the
connector M18 (15-16) of the back panel card BP-DR16 (N_FS3004).
2.8.1 Troubleshooting procedure 1. Check the fans monitoring card FMC. Is there any red LED lit?
YES: replace the fan connected to the channel indicated by the RED led. Go to step #2 NO: go to step #3
2. Re-start the rectifier. Does the alarm occur again? YES: replace the card FMC NO: END
3. Is the green LED DL5 lit? YES: go to step #4 NO: replace the card FMC
4. Check the connection between the card FMC and the connector M18 of the card BP-DR16. Is it OK? YES: replace the card DR-16 NO: re-connect or replace the interconnection cable
2.9 A9 – OPEN CIRCUIT BREAKERS This alarm indicates that one of the rectifier circuit breakers is open. The alarm is split into
three different sub-alarms; A91 (input breaker), A92 (battery breaker), A93 (output breaker). The auxiliary contacts of the circuit breaker are connected to the connector M18 of the back
panel card BP-DR16, to the pins 1-2 (input), 3-4 (battery) and 5-6 (output). The troubleshooting procedure that follows is not referred to a specific sub-alarms, as it is the
same for all of them.
2.9.1 Troubleshooting procedure 1. Is the breaker open?
YES: END NO: go to step #2
2. Check the connection between the auxiliary contact of the breaker and the connector M18 of the card BP-DR16. Is it OK? YES: replace the card DR-16 NO: re-connect or replace the interconnection cable
2.10 A10 – EARTH FAULT This optional alarm depends on the status of the external earth fault detector that may be
installed on request. The normally closed contact of the external detector is connected to the connector M18 (21-22) of the back panel card BP-DR16 (N_FS3004).
2.10.1 Troubleshooting procedure 1. Check the external earth fault detector; is the internal alarm activated?
YES: END. There’s a earth fault, check the loads and their connections to the rectifier. NO: go to step #2
BATTERY CHARGER troubleshooting procedures
8 of 10 JUD411295 First Issue 24/01/09
2. Check the connection between the detector and the connector M18 of the card BP-DR16. Is it OK? YES: replace the card DR-16 NO: re-connect or replace the interconnection cable
2.11 A15 – EEPROM ERROR This alarm depends on a wrong alignment of the data inside the EEPROM when the memory
is checked by the microprocessor. It is normally a fake alarm, but leads to a blocking condition of the rectifier.
2.11.1 Troubleshooting procedure 1. Connect the DR16-Test software and send the command MEE000, wait for 10 seconds
and re-start the rectifier after having turned it off. Does the alarm occur again? YES: replace the card DR-16 NO: END
2.12 A16 – EMERGENCY LEVEL This alarm indicates that the rectifier has been forced to lower the output voltage to the
programmed level as “emergency”. This operating mode is used when the rectifier is connected to critical loads which supply voltage range is lower than the floating voltage. The emergency level is commanded by an external contact connected to the connector M10 (1-2) of the back panel card BP-DR16. When the contact is closed the microprocessor forces the modification of the voltage set-point to the programmed “emergency level” (the value can be checked through the front panel under PARAMETERS).
2.13 PROGRAMMABLE ALARMS The alarms from A11 to A14 can be programmed during the engineering phase, in case the
technical specification requires additional signalisations. They can either be generated by mixing the standard rectifier alarms or depend on the free digital inputs available (connector M11 and M12 of the back panel card BP-DR16).
Considering the wide number of possible combinations a troubleshooting procedure cannot be given.

ISTRUZIONE OPERATIVA DI MODIFICA
Per utilizzo LEM ricarica batteria su raddrizzatori digitali in configurazione parallelo ridondante
Questa istruzione si riferisce ad una configurazione generica composta da due RTB_e e
una o due batterie. Si possono distinguere le seguenti configurazioni: 1. Due RTB_e con diodo di blocco, connessi in parallelo su un’unica barra e una
batteria collegata anch’essa in parallelo alla barra.
I due sensori di corrente di batteria devono essere collegati al connettore M7 della
N_FS3004 di ciascun RTB_e. Sul connettore M18 della N_FS3004 di ciascun RTB_e, si devono cortocircuitare con un
jumper i pin 17-18.
JRE409518 ISSUE 2
2. Due RTB_e con diodo di blocco, connessi in parallelo su un’unica barra e due batterie collegate anch’esse in parallelo alla barra e congiuntore fra i due sistemi.
Ogni batteria deve avere un sensore di corrente (Hall effect ammeter) per ciascun RTB_e. La tabella sotto riportata evidenzia la logica di collegamento dei sensori di corrente sulla N_FS3004.
BATTERIA 1 BATTERIA 2RTB_e1 M7 M13 RTB_e2 M13 M7
Sulla scheda FS1420 dovranno essere implementate le seguenti modifiche in base alla
corrente di ricarica di batteria degli RTB_e.
R122 = 10 k ¼ w R129 = in accordo alla seguente tabella

Il contatto ausiliario del congiuntore dovrà essere portato ad entrambi gli RTB_e. Nel caso in cui il congiuntore non fosse previsto, si dovrà provvedere a cortocircuitare
con un jumper, in ogni RTB_e, i pin 17-18 del connettore M18 della N_FS3004.

MODIFICATION OPERATING INSTRUCTION
To use battery recharge LEM on parallel redundant digital rectifiers
This instruction is related to a generic configuration of two RTB_e and one or two batteries.
We can have the following configurations: 1. Two RTB_e with blocking diode, connected in parallel in one sinlge bar and one
battery aswell connected in parallel to the bar.
The two battery current sensors have to be connected to M7 connector of N_FS3004 of
each RTB_e. On M18 connector of N_FS3004 of each RTB_e, the pin 17-18 have to be short circuit
with a jumper.
JRE409518 ISSUE 4
2. Two RTB_e with blocking diode, connected in parallel on one single bar and two batteries aswell connect in parallel to the bar and coupling switch between the two system.
Each battery must have a current sensor (Hall effect ammeter) for each RTB_e The following table show the connection logic of current sensories on N_FS3004.
BATTERY 1 BATTERY 2 RTB_e1 M7 M13 RTB_e2 M13 M7
On the FS1420 board will have to be implemented following modifications according to
the battery recharge current of RTB_e.
R122 = 10 k ¼ w R129 = as according of following table
Battery Hall effect ammeter ratio
Maximum Battery recharge current

The auxiliary contact of coupling switch will have to be carried on each RTB_e. If there is not coupling switch, we will have to short circuit pin 17-18 of M18 connector of
N_FS3004 with a jumper, on each RTB_e.
