Galaxy PulsarEdge841PowerSystemControllerOverview

IntroductionLineage Power rectifiers accept alternating current (ac) power and rectify it to produce directcurrent(dc)powerforpoweringexternalequipment(loads).Convertersacceptthedcoutputfromrectifiers or other sources and convert it to various regulated output dc levels also needed forpoweringexternalequipment(loads).Batteries,generators,andUPSareusedtoprovidebackuppower when ac is lost.When batteries are used, they are connected in parallel for additionalcapacityalongwiththerectifieroutputsthroughappropriatebreakersandcontactordisconnects.DCpowerisdistributedthroughdistributionpanelswithvariousprotectorsandcontactors.Theserectifiers, backup systems, and distribution components are all managed by theGalaxyPulsarEdge841systemcontroller.Thefollowingfiguredepictsagenericrepresentationofthesystemcontrollerand itsrelationshipinapowersystem.Thecomponentsdepictedandtheirassociatedfeaturesastheyrelatetothe systemcontrollerwillbediscussedinthismanual.

3 Applypowertothepowersystem.

4 After approximately oneminute, all LEDs on all components including rectifiers, thecontroller,LVDcontrolboards, auxdisplays,and ES771s(RVMs)shouldbegreen.

Check the voltage reading at a convenient point on the DC bus to verify the systemvoltage is approximately 54.5V. The controller has a factory default rectifier Floatvoltage setpoint of 54.48V for 48Vsystems.Note: IfSlopeThermalCompensation(STC)isactiveortheconnectedbatteriesarenotfullycharged,thebusvoltagemaybedifferentthanthesetpoint.

If this is not the case, access through theCraft port orLANportmustbe achieved tofurther debug the system. Menu details are provided in the next session. The firstmaintenance operations that should be initiated are the Clear Events and UninstallEquipment operations found under Maintenance tab of the home menu of the GUIinterface.

Thecontroller rememberscertainprevioussystemconfigurationsandconditions.Nonexistent alarm conditions should clear. If the systemLED is not green and the alarmLED is illuminated, review the installation procedure and refer to the troubleshootingsection. The controller display should only have the system (SYS) LED illuminatedgreen toindicateNOALARMS.

6 VerifyingasimplealarmWith the system in a normal operation mode, remove a rectifier from its slot. Thecontroller should illuminate its amber severity LED indicating a missing rectifier.Condition. Return the rectifier to its slot. The controller should update the rectifierstatus. If the above conditions did not yield the proper results, refer to thetroubleshootingsection.
