90% · AutoVRCn% · (rated current).
Example 1
AutoVRC1%I = 60%; AutoVRCset1 = 3%.
I turn-off threshold = lower of:
60% · (1-2 · (3%)) · rated current = 56.4% · rated current
or
90% · (60%) · rated current = 54% · rated current
Auto VRC will remain active until load current drops to
54% of rated current.
Example 2
AutoVRC1%I = 80%; AutoVRCset1 = 7%.
I turn-off threshold = lower of:
80% · (1-2 · (7%)) · rated current = 68.8% · rated current
or
90% · (80%) · rated current = 72% · rated current
Auto VRC will remain active until load current drops to
68.8% of rated current.
To choose Automatic mode VRC, view VRC Mode and
select AUT/REM. Use AutoVRCset1 and AutoVRCset2 to
specify the reduction amount. Use AutoVRC 1 %I and
AutoVRC 2 %I to specify the low current threshold.
AutoVRC settings are overridden by contact closures on
terminal block contacts VRC1 and VRC2.
4.4.4 Voltage Limit Control
Voltage Limit Control (VLC) defines limits for load
voltage. When VLC is active, the microprocessor compares
load voltage with VLC set points. If load voltage changes
to a value above VLC Upper, or below VLC Lower,
limiting occurs immediately —that is, without waiting for
the Time Delay timer to count down. The appropriate LED
indicator (VLC Upper/VLC Lower) illuminates to alert the
operator that Voltage Limiting is in effect.
• To activate/deactivate VLC, view VLC Enable; then use
ON or OFF.
• To set the Upper VLC set point, view VLC Upper; then
enter a value between 106.0 and 134.0 volts.
• To set the Lower VLC set point, view VLC Lower; then
enter a value between 106.0 and 134.0 volts.
Note that the upper and lower limits must not overlap. For
example, if VLC Lower is 115, VLC Upper cannot be
changed to a value less than 115 V.
4.5 Activating Data Logging—
The <LOG SETUP> Menu
The MJ-5 Control Panel can record status information that
will help reconstruct past occurrences. Two logs are
maintained: an Event Log, and an Interval Log. Event Log
records are stored when predefined Events occur; Interval
Log records are stored at predefined time intervals. See
Table 4.6; default settings are in bold.
This section describes how to define your logging
requirements. See Chapter 5, Reading and Interpreting MJ-
5 Control Panel Data, for guidance on how to retrieve
logged data.
