The charge fail input is actually a combined input and output. Whenever the generator is required to
run, the terminal provides excitation current to the charge alternator field winding.
When the charge alternator is correctly charging the battery, the voltage of the terminal is close to
the plant battery supply voltage. In a failed charge situation, the voltage of this terminal is pulled
down to a low voltage. It is this drop in voltage that triggers the charge failure alarm. The level at
which this operates and whether this triggers a warning or shutdown alarm is configurable using the
DSE Configuration Suite Software.
