Epilson STSTM
3.4.5Live System Test (Except with 4-Interlock System)
While in maintenance bypass, and with the STS output isolation switch off, the STS can be tested with both sources connected to the STS through the input isolation switches (using the SCR's to make actual transfers).
3.4.6EPO
In the event of an Emergency Power Off (EPO) condition, all switches are shunt tripped.
3.5Preferred Source Selection (Symmetrical Operation)
At the operators option and without any degradation of performances or loss of protective features, the unit may be operated with either source designated as the preferred source and the current alternate source can be switched to be the preferred source (using LCD screen, the manual hard key, comm. port or remote input contact).
3.6Sensing and Transfer Times
Voltage and/or current sensing using fast digital conversion techniques are employed for both sources to meet a maximum 2 milliseconds sensing time requirement (to sense a deviation of power quality outside of user parame- ters).
Total sense and transfer time is 1/4 cycle (4.17 milliseconds) maximum.
3.7Overload Operation
On sensing a Peak Current Overload (Crest factor setting: 3.5 maximum.), automatic transfers will be inhibited and the load will stay on the “active” source until the overload condition is cleared.
On sensing Peak Current Overload condition, a check is made for an
An Overload alarm will be given if the load current exceeds the RMS current overload setting for more than 30 seconds. This overload condition will not cause an automatic transfer.
3.8Shorted SCR Protection (including Backfeed Protection)
The STS design includes sensing circuits to detect a shorted SCR and in addition to the following actions, will initiate audible and visual alarms:
a)In the event of a shorted SCR in the active source powering the load, the unit will alarm, and stay on the active source. Then the SCR isolation switch on the inactive source will be shunt tripped to prevent transferring to the inactive source. Automatic transfer and retransfer will be inhibited until repair is made and the system is reset.
b)In the event of a shorted SCR in the
