The activation of the temperature alarm triggers the "slow" disconnection of all banks, one at a time, and with a
delay between them equal to P.4 – Transient time during disconnection (Chap. 7.6).
This process takes place in automatic power factor correction mode for all the inserted banks whose Step n function
(n=1,2,3,4,5) Chap. 7.2.5 has been set to “CAP” or “ON” and in manual power factor correction mode (refer to Chap. 8.8
- Manual power factor correction mode) for all the banks whose status has been set to "ON".
At the same time, the relay outputs set as "ALA" and associated to the "TMP°C" or "ALL" alarm will be activated
unless parameter P.25 – Alarm masking management (Chap. 7.6) has been set to mask the alarms under defined
operating conditions.
DISPLAYING
Regardless of the current displaying, the alarm will be indicated
with the displaying of the relevant page of the Current alarm menu
that will be alternately shown with the maximum value measured
since alarm activation (65°C in the example shown).
The Controller will stay in the above-mentioned screen until:
- key is pressed for more than 2sec (the alarm is anyway active);
- alarm is deactivated or manually reset by the operator.
Afterwards, the Measurement Menu will be automatically displayed and will show, respectively:
- the cosphi value and the alarm icon on the top left. The alarm will be anyway active in the Current Alarm Menu
(Chap. 8.5.1);
- the cosphi value, but not the alarm icon.
If, parameter P.25 – Alarm masking management (Chap. 7.6) has been set to mask the alarms under defined
operating conditions, the previous screen will be temporarily displayed for 3sec. The alarm will then automatically go back
to the first screen of the Measurement Menu by displaying the cosphi value, but not the alarm icon. The alarm will be
anyway present in the Current Alarm Menu.
STATISTICS
The alarm counter will be increased in the Statistics Menu (Chap. 8.4) at every occurrence.
DEACTIVATION
The alarm is automatically deactivated if the temperature value stays below the value defined by parameter
Temperature alarm threshold Chap. 7.5.13 for a time (in sec) equal to the value of parameter Temperature alarm
delay Chap. 7.5.14.
RESET
Alarm can be manually reset from the Current Alarm Menu by pressing key (function possible only if P.13 –
Current alarm reset = “ON”, refer to Chap. 7.6).
8.5.2.8 Power factor overcorrection alarm
ACTIVATION
The power factor overcorrection alarm is activated if the cosphi value stays above the numerical value
corresponding to the most capacitive extreme value of the target cosphi defined by parameters Cosphi setpoint Chap.
7.3.1 and Cosphi setpoint tolerance Chap. 7.3.2 for a time (in hours) equal to the value of parameter P.22 - Power
factor overcorrection alarm delay (Chap. 7.6).
NOTE: the power factor overcorrection may be caused by:
- setting Step n function (Chap.7.2.5) = “ON” for an excessive number of batteries;
- incorrect setting of the target cosphi range with respect to the type of load on the system;
