THE INSIDE STORY

03 | PRONTOFORZ

Freewheeling DiodePreventing accidental reverse polarity from the battery connection to the Thyristor.Certified under IEC 60747-1 to 15; IEC 60664 & Din EN 50178

CapacitorWorking together with the choke to form a L-C filtering circuit to reduce noise on the DC output line.Certified under JIS C5101-4

Battery / Load BreakerMCCB breaker for Battery protection. Certified under IEC 60947-2 : 10KA

Main Transformer3-phase transformer for stepping down the input voltage to the charger rating nominal voltage. Certified under IEC 60076

In 1833, Michael Faraday’s experimental work in chemistry, which included the discovery of benzene led him to the first documented observation of a material that we now call a Semiconductor.

In 1874, a German physicist by the name of Ferdinand Braun discovered the rectification effect after he observed that current flows freely only in one direction at the point of contact between metals and a certain crystal material. He demonstrated this to an audience with a certain semiconductor device, which we now call a Diode

In 1904, a British physicist, John Ambrose Fleming invented the first practical rectifier/Diode used in a radio.

In 1906, Wireless Specialty Apparatus Company found by Greenleaf W. Pickard was probably the first company to make and sell silicon semiconductor devices to the market

Through the years of development, and the discovery of p-n junction, the Solid State Rectifier was developed and manufactured by a subsidiary company of Westinghouse in 1948

Today, the development of the DC charger using the Solid State Technology is still flourishing, mainly due to the fact that it is robust, reliable, insensitive to the high ambient temperature, easy to maintain, and cost effective.

Chloride’s history with the DC Chargers started in the early 1970s in the UK, and in 1982, a DC Charger manufacturing plant was set up in CBSEA, Singapore. Today, CBSEA’s Chloride DC charger has established itself in the region and with the reliability record to be proud of. This stems from the fact that we never compromise on quality, and use only IEC certified components to give the charger the edge, and longevity in service life.

Rectifier – A Brief History

PRONTOFORZ | 04

Solid State Thyristor ModuleA high class Switching device which convert AC power to DC power through the control of Chloride Controller Card. Certified under IEC 60747-1 to 15; IEC 60664 & Din EN 50178

Dropping DiodeReduces the DC output voltage to the load voltage tolerance level .Certified under IEC 60747-1 to 15; IEC 60664 & Din EN 50178

Charger Input BreakerAC Input MCB meant for the protection of the charger input equipment from any inrush current or surges from the Mains during Power On. Certified under IEC 60947-2 : 10KA

Charger Controller CardThe heart of the charger operation, which control the firing circuit of the Thyristors, the Float & Boost voltage settings, Alarm settings, Current Limit setting, Alarm Monitoring, etc.

External Alarm CardsAdditional dry contact alarm card mean for individual alarm monitoring.

ChokeWorking together with the Capacitors to form a L-C filtering circuit to reduce noise along the DC output line. Certified under IEC 60076

TOLERANCE Boost and Float charge voltages and output currents are set at the recommended levels according to battery specification.

VOLTAGE REGULATION Adjustment controls, mounted on charger, prevent unauthorized interference. Float and Boost voltages held at preset level +/- 1%, at the battery terminal allows simultaneous changes in mains input voltage of +/- 5% to 10% and load variations 0% to 100% (24 volts systems and above).

CURRENT REGULATIONOutput current held at preset level +/- 0.5%, allows simultaneous changes in the mains input voltage of +5% to -10% and battery voltage variations from 50% to 100% of boost charge level.

CHARGER AMMETER AND VOLTMETERIndustrial Grade with 1% to 2.5% accuracy. Core magnet with self-shielding movement. The instruments are :i) Charger Output Current ii) Battery Voltage

INDICATORSIndividual light emitting diode (L.E.D) lamps provide indications:For Function Monitors :-• A.C. input • Boost charge • Float chargeFor Fault Monitors :-• Charge Fail• Low Volts • High Volts• Low Electrolyte • Earth Fault • Mains Fail • etc.• Option for provisions of remote individual or common fault indicators via voltage-free changeover contacts on a relay fitted to the control of the charger are available.

SOFT STARTSoft Start feature that is built within the Controller Card helps to prevent the inrush current or voltage transient from blowing the DC fuses or burn any component that is directly in its path when the mains is switched On.

CHARGE FAIL ALARMCharge fail alarm circuit is designed to operate only when there is no current flow to battery and battery voltage is below 90% of preset Float level.

LOw ELECTROLYTE ALARM The Low Electrolyte alarm circuit is designed to operate when the battery electrolyte falls to the minimum level prescribed by the battery manufacturer. The inserted low electrolyte sensing probe place in the battery will sense an “open” circuit when the battery electrolyte looses contact with the probe at its minimum level, thus, triggering an alarm.

TRANSFORMERThe transformer is a leakage reactance, double wound, & varnish, and comply to IEC standard. Temperature class “F” electro-static earth shield between primary and secondary control windings.Impedance : 1-phase typically at 25% and 3-phase typically at 10%.

RECTIFIERThyristor rectifier assembly is heat-sink mounted and derated by 50% at full load output.

SMOOTHINGi) Single-phase Units Ripple voltage at 2% r.m.s. average at full loadRipple current less than 2% ii) Three-phase Units Ripple voltage at 1% r.m.s. average at full loadRipple current less than 2%
