Slope Load Share
When the rectifier is connected in parallel with rectifiers in the same power shelf, or other power shelves, and this method of load sharing is desired, the SLS / FS switch of each rectifier must be pushed towards the SLS.
Forced Load Share
When the preferred method for load sharing is Forced Load Share, the SLS / FS switch of each rectifier must be pushed toward the FS designation. The power shelf must be connected to the next shelf through the
Load Share Adjustment Procedure
If, after presetting the output voltage (float or equalize), the rectifier does not share the load with the other rectifiers in the power plant, take the following steps:
Procedure 5 - Adjusting the load share
Step | Action |
1 | Verify that all the share mode settings are the same SLS or FS. |
2 | Verify that all the rectifier sense points are the same. |
3 | Verify that all the rectifiers are in float or all are in the equalize mode (that |
| is, the modes are not mixed). |
4 | If the above three cases are true, then this output voltage is |
| maladjusted. |
| Follow step A or B below. |
| A) If the rectifier is in Slope Share: |
| With the DC breaker ON, adjust the FLT (or EQL) potentiometer |
| clockwise, if the current is too low, or counter clockwise, if the |
| current is too high. |
| B) If the rectifier is in Forced Share: |
| Rectifier output is maladjusted by more than + 0.5 V. OPEN the DC breaker |
| and adjust the rectifier output within 0.1 V of the plant voltage. Adjust the |
| rectifier float voltage to the desired system float voltage. CLOSE the DC |
| breaker and the rectifier will automatically share the load. |
