5.1 Inspection of the unit
Upon receipt of the equipment it is advisable to remove the product from the packaging and check for any damage
caused by transport. If damage is found, inform the carrier responsible for the transport and your dealer. Keep the
packing carton in case the product has to be sent back to the factory for repairs.
5.2 Connection
Caution!!! The correct connection and commissioning of an automatic power factor correction device is relatively
simple, but must not in any way be entrusted to the case. As a result, the unit will not switch the capacitor banks on
or off or it will function abnormally. Since the panels are all tested and tested on site, any operating anomalies will
be due to incorrect connection and, in particular, to the incorrect positioning of the current transformer. Please
therefore follow the instructions in this manual to be followed strictly in the sequence indicated.
Thanks for your collaboration
Place the panel in a ventilated position away from sources of heat: good air circulation is one of the most important
characteristics for a correct and lasting operation. Leave a minimum space of 40 cm around the panel, so that the
air can penetrate and exit freely. Do not place the equipment in humid and dusty places unless it has been
requested with a particular degree of protection.
To assure the short-circuit withstand, it is necessary to install a three-phase fuse current regulators of the NH-aM
type, or other devices with similar characteristics, upstream of the power factor correction boards,
both with fixed current and breaking capacity higher than the supposed short-circuit current.
When Icc is not known at the installation point, the short-circuit current at the transformer secondary can be roughly taken.

To connect an automatic PFC panel to the network, it is necessary to have a C.T. (current
transformer) having a secondary rated current of 5 or 1 A not supplied with the product but charged
to the customer.
The primary rated current of the C.T. must be chosen according to the rated current of the line
regardless of the power of the power factor correction bearing in mind that the measuring range of the
regulator current ranges from 8% to 110% of the current of the C.T. therefore, this condition must be met.
Eg: there is a circulating current of 200 / A. A T.A. will have to be chosen. whose current ranges from: 2500 A (8%
of 2500 = 200 / A) and 180A (110% of 180 A = 200 / A). It is a good rule to install a C.T. with a double primary
current that is actually circulating, therefore, in the case of the example, a C.T. will be selected. with
primary current of 400 A.
To connect the equipment to the network some simple operations are necessary that must be absolutely respected.
The sequence of the main operations necessary for this purpose can be summarized as follows:
1. Ground the secondary of C.T ..
2. Supply the equipment with cables of adequate cross-section according to the rated power.
3. Power supply: three-phase + Pe (unless otherwise requested)
4. Anchor the power cables to the main switch according to the phase sequence.
If you want to switch off the panel during operation, make sure, before opening the main switch, that you have
disconnected all the batteries, following the instructions (see MAN mode)
• The C.T. must be positioned on the phase (R - L1), upstream of the loads and the line that feeds the power
factor correction panel.
p. 14 / 43
• The phase sequence (R (L1) - S (L2) -T (L3)) must be respected when connecting the line to the power factor
correction panel.
• This condition can be easily checked with the aid of a voltmeter: by measuring, between the phase where the C.T.
(the R) and the phase anchored on the R terminal of the automatic power factor correction switch, the voltage
must be "0".
• The positioning of the C.T. It is essential for the correct functioning of the appliance. The relative diagram
is shown in the figure alongside
The following are some possible positions of the C.T.

wrong:
Position 2: despite being the C.T. installed upstream, and

installed on phase L3 (T) instead of L1 (R)
Position 3: the C.T is installed on the load line!
Position 4: the C.T. it is installed on the phases that feed
the pfc!

The insertion of an automatic power factor correction device in the presence of MV transformers. If there are
batteries of capacitors of the fixed type, on the transformers, the C.T. necessary for the control of the automatic
rephasing device to be placed downstream of the fixed capacitors.
The figure shows the connection of a power factor correction equipment in the presence of MV connected
transformers in parallel
NOTE. It is necessary to use a C.T. adder with 2 or 3 inputs depending on whether there are 2 or 3
transformers, to which the cables coming from the C.T .. must be connected. The output of the C.T. adder must
be connected to the automatic rephasing.
Set the C.T. (the ways to set this parameter are described in Appendix B) as the sum of the two or three C.T
6 ADJUSTMENTS
6.1 INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE OF THE PCRJ8 POWER FACTOR REGULATOR

First power-up
• At the time of first power up, the device may ask the user to set the
clock and calendar, in case it is stopped.
• Then a window will appear asking to specify the language you want
to use for navigation on the display. Press OK for direct access to the
parameter P01.01 for the selection of the language.
• Then the display will show a window asking to set the primary of the
CT, which usually is the responsibility of the final installer. Even in
this case it activates a direct access to the setting of the relevant
parameter P02.01.
• The above procedure will be repeated every time the device is

powered on, until the CT primary setting is entered in parameter
P02.01.
Operating modes
The currently selected mode is displayed in reverse at the center of the
home page. There are three possible operating modes, listed below:
p. 21 / 43
TEST Mode
• When the unit is brand new and has never been programmed, it
automatically enters in TEST mode that allows the installer to
manually activate the individual relay outputs, so you can verify the
correct wiring of the panel.
• The activation and deactivation of the outputs is done as for the
manual mode, but without considering the reconnection time.
• Once in programming and parameters are set, the unit will
automatically exit the test mode.
• If you need to enter TEST mode after programming the unit, use the
appropriate command in the command menu.
MAN Mode
• When the unit is in manual mode, you can select one of the steps and
manually connect or disconnect it.
• From the home page, press ►. The step No. 1 is highlighted by a
box. To select the step you want, press the ◄ and ►.
• Press ▲ or ▼ to enter to disconnect the selected step.
• If the number above step is light gray, it means that the step is not
available because its reconnection time is not yet exhausted. In this
case, sending a command to close the step number will flash to
indicate that the operation has been confirmed and will be conducted
as soon as possible.
• The manual configuration of steps is maintained even in the absence
of supply voltage. When the power returns, the original state of the
steps is restored.
AUT Mode
• In automatic mode, the controller calculates the optimum
configuration of capacitor steps in order to reach the set cos ϕ.
• The selection criteria takes into account many variables such as: the
power of each step, the number of operations, the total time of use,
the reconnection time etc.
• The controller displays the imminent connection or disconnection of
the steps with the flashing of their identification number (above). The
flashing can last in cases in which the insertion of a step is not
possible due to the reconnection time (discharge time of the
capacitor).
• If the number above step is light gray, it means that the step is not
available because its reconnection time is not yet expired. The device
then waits for the end of the reconnection time.

• The password is used to enable or lock the access to setting menu (setup) and to commands menu.
• For brand-new devices (factory default), the password management is disabled and the access is free. If
instead the passwords have been enabled and defined, then to get access, it is necessary to enter the
password first, specifying the numeric code through the keypad.
• To enable password management and to define numeric codes, see setup menu M15 Password.
• There are two access levels, depending on the code entered:
• User-Level access – Allows clearing of recorded values and the editing of a restricted number of
setup parameters.
• Advanced access level – Same rights of the user access plus full settings editing-restoring.
• From normal viewing, press to recall main menu, select the password icon and press .
• The display shows the screen in picture:
• . Keys ▲and ▼change the selected digit

• Keys ◄ and ► move through the digits.
• Enter all the digits of the numeric code, then move on the key icon.
• If the password code entered matches the User access code or the Advanced access code, then the
correspondent unlock message is shown.
• Once unlocked the password, the access rights last until:
o the device is powered off.
o the device is reset (after quitting the setup menu).
o the timeout period of two minutes elapses without any keystroke.
• To quit the password entry screen press key.
•
Display page navigation

• Keys ▲and ▼scroll through the measurements pages one by one. The title bar shows the current page.
• Some measurements may not be shown depending on the system
programming and connections.

• Sub-pages, which can be opened with key ►, are also available on some pages (displaying voltages and currents in the form of
bar graphs, for example).
• The user can specify which page and which sub-page the display should return to automatically when no keys have been pressed
for a certain time.
• The system can also be programmed so the display remains were it was last.
• You can set this function in menu M01 – Utility.

Harmonic analysis page
• In the PCRJ8 it is possible to enable the calculation of the FFT harmonic analysis up to the 31st order of
the following measurements:
phase-to-phase voltages
o phase-to-neutral voltages
o currents
• For each of these measurements, there is a display page that graphically represents the harmonic content (spectrum) through a
bar graph.
• Every column is related to one harmonic order, even and odd. The first column shows the total harmonic distortion (THD).
• Every histogram bar is then divided into three parts, one each phase L1,L2, L3.
• The value of the harmonic content is expressed as a percentage with respect to the fundamental (system frequency).
• It is possible to show the harmonic content in numeric format, selecting the required order through ◄and ►. The lower part
of the screen will display a little arrow that points to the selected column, and the relative percentage value of the three
phases.

The vertical scale of the graph is automatically selected among four full- scale values, depending on the column with the
highest value.
Waveform page
• This page graphically views the waveform of the voltage and current signals read by the PCRJ8.
• It is possible to see one phase at a time, selecting it with key.
• The vertical scale (amplitude) is automatically scaled in order to fit the waveform on the screen in the best possible way.
• The horizontal axis (time) shows two consecutive periods referred to the fundamental frequency.
The graph is automatically updated about every 1s
p. 25 / 43
Expandability
• Thanks to expansion bus, the PCRJ8 can be expanded with EXP… series modules.
• It is possible to connect a maximum of 4 EXP… modules at the same time.
• The supported EXP modules can be grouped in the following categories:
o additional steps
o communication modules
o digital I/O modules
o Analog I/O modules.
• To insert an expansion module:
o remove the power supply to PCRJ8
o remove the protecting cover of one of the expansion slots
o insert the upper hook of the module into the fixing hole on the top of the expansion slot
o rotate down the module body, inserting the connector on the bus push until the bottom clip snaps into its housing.
• When the PCRJ8 is powered on, it automatically recognises the EXP modules that have been mounted.
• If the system configuration has changed with respect to the last saved, (one module has been added or removed), the base unit asks the user
to confirm the new configuration. In case of confirmation, the new configuration will be saved and will become effective, otherwise the
mismatch will be shown at every subsequent power-on of the system.
• The present system configuration is shown in the dedicated page of the display (expansion modules), where it is possible to see the number,
the type and the status of the modules.
• The I/O numbering is shown under each module.
The status (energised/de-energised) of every single I/O and communication channel is highlighted in reverse

Additional resources
• The expansion modules provide additional resources that can be used through the dedicated setup menus.
• The setup menus related to the expansions are always accessible, even if the expansion modules are not physically fitted.
• Since it is possible to add more than one module of the same typology (for instance two communication interfaces), the
setup menus are multiple, identified by a sequential number.
• The following table indicates how many modules of each group can be mounted at the same time and in which slot they
can be inserted. The total number of modules must be less or equal than 4.

Communication channels
• The PCRJ8 supports a maximum of 2 communication modules, indicated as COMn. The communication setup menu is
thus divided into two sections (n=1 … 2) of parameters for the setting of the ports.
• The communication channels are completely independent, both for the hardware (physical interface) and for the
communication protocol.
• The two channels can communicate at the same time.
• Activating the Gateway function it is possible to use a PCRJ8 with both an Ethernet port and a RS485 port, that acts as a
bridge over other PCRJ8s equipped with RS-485 only, in order to achieve a more economic configuration (only one
Ethernet port).
• In this network, the PCRJ8 with Ethernet port will be set with both communication channels (two among COM1,
COM2 and and COM3) with Gateway function set to ON, while the other PCRJ8s will be configured normally with
Gateway = OFF.
p. 27 / 43
Inputs, outputs, internal variables, counters, analog inputs
• The inputs and outputs are identified by a code and a sequence number. For instance, the digital inputs are identified by
code INPx, where x is the number of the input. In the same way, digital outputs are identified by code OUTx.
• The sequence number of I/Os is simply based on their mounting position, with a progressive numbering from left
to right.
• It is possible to manage up to 8 analog inputs (AINx), connected to external analog sensors (temperature, pressure, flow
etc). The value read from the sensors can be scaled to any unit of measure, visualized on the display and transmitted on
the communication bus. The value read from analog inputs is shown on the dedicated display page. They can be used to
drive LIMx limit thresholds, that can be linked to an internal or external output.
• The expansion I/O numbering starts from the last I/O installed on the
base unit. For example, with OUT1…OUT8 digital outputs on the base unit, the first digital output on the expansion modules will be OUT9.
See the following table for the I/O numbering:
COD DESCRIZIONE BASE EXP

INPx Digital Inputs - 1…8
OUTx Digital Outputs 1…8 9…16
COMx Communication ports - 1…2
AINx Analog Inputs - 1…4
AOUx Analog Outputs - 1…4
• In a similar way, there are some internal bit-variables (markers) that can be associated to the outputs or combined
between them. For instance, it is possible to apply some limit thresholds to the measurements done by the system
(voltage, current, power, etc.). In this case, an internal variable named LIMx will be activated when the measurements
will go outside the limits defined by the user through the dedicated setting menu.
• Furthermore, there are up to 8 counters (CNT1..CNT8) that can count pulses coming from an external source (through a
digital input INPx) or the number of times that a certain condition as been verified. For instance, defining a limit
threshold LIMx as the count source, it will be possible to count how many times one measurement has exceeded a
certain limit.
• The following table groups all the I/O and the internal variables managed by the PCRJ8.
CODE DESCRIPTION RANGE

LIMx Limit thresholds 1…16
REMx Remote-controlled variables 1…16
UAx User alarms 1…8
PULx Energy consumption pulses 1…3
CNTx Programmable counters 1…8
Limit thresholds (LIMx)

• The LIMn thresholds are internal variables whose status depends on the out-of-limits of one particular measurement
set by the user (e.g. total active power higher than 25kW) among all those measured.
• To make the setting of the thresholds easier, since the limits can span in a very wide range, each of them can be set using
a base number and a multiplier (for example: 25 x 1k = 25000).
• For each LIM, there are two thresholds (upper and lower). The upper threshold must always be set to a value higher than
the lower threshold.
• The meaning of the thresholds depends on the following functions:
Min function: the lower threshold defines the trip point, while the upper threshold is for the resetting. The
LIM trips when the selected measurement is less than the Lower threshold for the programmed delay. When
the measured value becomes higher than the upper setpoint, after the set delay, the LIM status is reset.
Max function: the upper threshold defines the trip point, while the lower threshold is for the resetting. The
LIM trips when the selected measurement is more than upper threshold for the programmed delay. When the
measured value decreases below the lower setpoint, after the delay, the LIM status is reset.
Max+Min function: both thresholds are for tripping. When the measured value is less than lower or more than
upper setpoints, then, after the respective delays, the LIM will trip. When the measured value returns within the
limits, the LIM status will be immediately reset.
• Trip denotes either activation or de-activation of the LIM variable, depending on „Normal status‟ setting.
• If the LIMn latch is enabled, the reset can be done only manually using the dedicated command in the commands menu.
• See setup menu M24.

Remote-controlled variables (REMx)

• PCRJ8 can manage up to 16 remote-controlled variables (REM1…REM16).
• Those are variables which status can be modified by the user through the communication protocol and that can be used
in combination with outputs.
• Example: using a remote variable (REMx) as a source for an output (OUTx), it will be possible to freely energise or de-
energise one relay through the supervision software. This allows to use the PCRJ8 relays to drive lighting or similar
loads.
User Alarms (UAx)

• The user has the possibility to define a maximum of 8 programmable alarms (UA1…UA8).
• For each alarm, it is possible to define:
o the source that is the condition that generates the alarm,
o the text of the message that must appear on the screen when this condition is met.
o The properties of the alarm (just like for standard alarms), that is in which way that alarms interacts with the power
factor correction.
• The condition that generates the alarm can be, for instance, the overcoming of a threshold. In this case, the source will
be one of the limit thresholds LIMx.
• If instead, the alarm must be displayed depending on the status of an external digital input, then the source will be an
INPx.
• For every alarm, the user can define a free message that will appear on the alarm page.
• The properties of the user alarms can be defined in the same way as the normal alarms. You can choose whether a
certain alarm will disconnect the steps, close the global alarm output, etc. See chapter Alarm properties.
• When several alarms are active at the same time, they are displayed sequentially, and their total number is shown on
the status bar.
• To reset one alarm that has been programmed with latch, use the dedicated command in the commands menu.
• For details on alarm programming and definition, refer to setup menu M26.

P02.01 - The value of the primary current transformer. Example: with CT 800/5 set 800. If set to
OFF, after the power-up the device will prompt you to set the TA and allow direct
access to this parameter.
P02.02 - Value of the secondary of the current transformers. Example: with CT 800/5 set 5.
P02.04 - Defines on which and on how many phases the device reads the current signal. The
wiring of current inputs must match the value set for this parameter. Supports all
possible combinations of parameter P02.06.
P02.05 - Reading the connection polarity of the CT.
AUT = Polarity is automatically detected at power up. Can only be used when working
with only one CT and when the system has no generator device.
Dir = Automatic detection disabled. Direct connection.
Rev = Automatic detection disabled. Reverse wiring (crossover).
P02.06 - Defines on which and on how many phases the device reads the voltage signal. The
wiring of voltage inputs must match the setting for this parameter. Supports all
possible combinations of parameter P02.04.
P02.07 - Value in kvar of the smallest step installed (equivalent to the step weight 1). Rated
power of the capacitor bank provided at the rated voltage specified in P02.08 and
referred to the total of the three capacitors for three-phase applications.
P02.08 - Rated plate capacitor, which is delivered in specified power P02.07. If the capacitors
are used to a tansione different (lower) than nominal, the resulting power is
automatically recalculated by the device.
P02.09 - Working frequency of the system.
Auto = automatic selection between 50 and 60 Hz at power
50Hz = fixed at 50 Hz
60 Hz = Fixed to 60 Hz
Variable = measured continuously and adjusted.
P02.10 - Minimum time that must elapse between the disconnection of one step and the
subsequent reconnection is that MAN AUT. During this time the number of the step
on the main page is shown in light gray.
P02.11 - Connection sensitivity. This parameter sets the speed of reaction of the controller.
With small values of P02.11 regulation is fast (more accurate around the setpoint but
with more step swithchings). With high values instead we‟ll have slower reactions of
regulation, with fewer switchings of the steps. The delay time of the reaction is inversely
proportional to the request of steps to reach the setpoint: waiting time = (sensitivity /
number of steps required).
Example: setting the sensitivity to 60s, if you request the insertion of one step of weight
1 are expected 60s (60/1 = 60). If instead serve a total of 4 steps will be expected 15s
(60/4 = 15).
P02.12 - Disconnection sensitivity. Same as the previous parameter but related to

disconnection. If set to OFF the disconnection has the same reaction time of connection
set with the previous parameter.
P02.13-Setpoint (target value) of the power factor. Value In use of standard applications.
P02.14 - P02.15 - Alternative setpoints selectable with combinations of digital inputs
programmed with the appropriate function.
P02.16 - Setpoint used when the system is generating active power to the supplier (with
negative active power / power factor ).
P02.17 - P02.18 - Tolerance around the setpoint. When the cosphi is within the range delimited
by these parameters, in AUT mode the device does not connect / disconnect steps
even if the delta-kvar is greater than the smallest step.
Note: + means “towards inductive”, - means “towards capacitive”.
P02.19 - If set to ON, when the system is giving active power provider (generation = active
power and power factor negative) all steps are disconnected.
P02.20 - Rated current of the system. Value used for the full scale of the bar graphs and for
setting the current thresholds expressed as a percentage. If set to Aut then the value of
P02.01 (CT primary) is used.
P02.21 - Rated voltage of the system. Value used for the full scale of the bar graphs and setting
the voltage thresholds expressed as a percentage. If set to Aut then the value of
P02.08 (nominal voltage capacitors) is used.
P02.22 – System voltage type. Depending on the setting of this parameter, the appropriate
wiring diagrams must be used. See at the end of the manual.
P02.23 .... P02.27 – Data of VTs eventually used in the wiring diagrams.
P02.28 - Selecting mode of steps insertion
Standard mode - Normal operation with free selection of the steps
Linear mode - the steps are connected in progression from left towards right only
following the step number and according to the LIFO (Last In First Out) logic. The
controller will not connect a step when the system steps are of different ratings and by
connecting the next step, the set-point value would be exceeded.
P02.29 - After having closed one step output, the measure acquisition is suspended for the
number of periods (cycles) specified by this parameter, in order to allow the external
static contactor to connect the capacitors. This function allows to avoid regulation
oscillations. Set this value according to the technical characteristics (closing time)
declared by the manufacturer of the static contactor.
P02.30 – Enables the setting of the setpoint as Tangent of displacement phase angle (Tanphi)
instead of Cosinus (Cosphi). Used as a reference by the energy suppliers of some
european countries.
P02.31 – Value of the Tnaphi setpoint. Negative values of Tanphi correspond to capacitive
Cophi..

Measure table for Limits / analog outputs
• The following table lists all measures that can be associated with the limits (menu
M20) and outputs (menu M23).
• The codes selected in the parameters P20.n.01 and P23.n.02 correspond to the
measures below.
• To facilitate comparison with the three-phase measures, some 'virtual' measures
are provided, that contain the highest measurements across the three phases.
These measures are identified by the presence of the word MAX in the measure
code.
• Example: If you want to apply a maximum limit of 10% on the content of
5.harmonics in the current of the system, when you have a three-phase current,
set LIM1 with H. I MAX, with channel no. set to 5. The device will consider the
highest of the harmonic content of the 5.o order among the three currents I L1, I
L2 and I L3.
Settings:
P20.1.01 = H. I MAX (highest current harmonic among 3 phases)
P20.1.02 = 5 (5.th harmonic)
P20.1.03 = max (compare with max threshold)
P.20.1.04 = 10 (threshold = 10%)

p. 35 / 43
9. MAINTENANCE
9.1 Ordinary and extraordinary maintenance
Premise
The information in this paragraph is given in compliance with CEI EN 61439-1 prf. 6.2.2.
Maintenance and repair must be carried out by SPECIALIZED personnel and "TRAINED PERSONS". Maintenance
and repair that are not carried out properly can be a source of serious danger to the user.
Before starting maintenance and repair operations, carefully read the instructions in this Technical Manual to avoid
damage to people, pets and property.
Regular maintenance ensures the equipment level of safety and perfect initial operation.
Operator safety
It is essential that the persons in charge of maintenance are professionally qualified and follow normal safety
procedures.
Incorrect maintenance can cause damage to persons or property, for which the manufacturer can not be held
responsible.
The automatic rephasing device is equipped with an operating element, so it is necessary to disconnect all the
capacitor batteries before disconnecting the panel from the mains.
WARNING! Before accessing the appliance, wait at least three minutes after having disconnected the voltage, then
short-circuiting and grounding all the capacitors (CEI EN 60831-1 / prf.22 standard).
Avoid disconnecting a battery and re-insert it manually, in a shorter time than 30 s necessary for the discharge of
the capacitors
Maintenance notes
The standardization of the components and the circuit part, as well as the rational arrangement of the elements
used, facilitate at any time the operations of maintenance and control of the efficiency of the panel.
Automatic power factor correction equipment is designed and implemented with the aim of minimizing maintenance
interventions, however it is necessary to carry out some periodic checks every year:
check the tightening of the screws of all power connections (operation to be carried out also during
commissioning).
check the efficiency of the ventilation system. It is advisable to use a heater and blow hot air on the control
thermostats: at a temperature of about 35 ° C the fans must become operative, then at about 50 ° C, the
interruption of the auxiliary circuits that determine the block must be detected of the rephaser. Wait for the
protections to cool down for a few minutes and check for normal operation.
check the integrity of the protections (fuses, etc.).
clean the ventilation ducts of the panel. In the rephasing units with external protection class IP 40 - 54, clean or
replace the filters.
p. 36 / 43
clean the panel from dust or other, taking particular care of all those components that could create insulation
problems (busbar supports, capacitor plates, etc.).
check the absence of condensation on the live components.
check the integrity of the insulation relative to the power and auxiliary cables.
ascertain the correct functioning of the electronic regulator, by performing the manual insertion of the batteries
and checking the closing of the contactors corresponding to the individual outputs. Return the regulator to
Automatic mode and make sure that the inductive LED lights up and the appropriate batteries are inserted at
regular intervals when inductive loads (motors, transformers, discharge lamps, etc.) are present. Make sure that the
controller calibration does not determine a "rolling" condition (repeated switching on / off of the batteries).
check that the discharge resistors mounted on the individual capacitors are not interrupted or burned.
check that the condenser overpressure devices have not intervened.
control the current absorption of the individual drawers, by performing the measurement on each of the three
phases, recording the values and comparing them with the nominal ones. In case of variation greater than 20%
check each individual capacitor and replace it if out of service. We recommend consulting the Ns. Technical Office
if the currents absorbed by the single groups exceed, due to the network harmonics, the nominal values.
It is good practice to note on a "MAINTENANCE CARD" any actions taken with the DATE of execution and relative
observations.
check the efficiency of the pre-insertion resistors mounted on the single contactors (if present). If interruptions
are found, it will be necessary to replace the entire contactor since the operation in the absence of resistances,
causes a deterioration on the corresponding power contacts.
check the status of the electrical contacts of the contactors, in order to avoid damage to the capacitors as a
result of the operation of contactors with completely worn contacts. Traces of soot in the screw housing or near the
output terminals (power cables) indicate wear. Pay particular attention to the contactors of batteries 1 and 2, as
they are more susceptible to on / off. Never work on the contacts with abrasive materials.
removing the power contacts from their housing (eg contactor replacement), mark them and reassemble them in
exactly the same position.
check that there is no oxidation and / or corrosion of the components, in particular of raw copper.
check that there are no deformations in the insulation of the power cables, caused by excessively high working
temperatures, in particular on the output poles of the blocking inductances and on the connections of the fuse
bases.
check the condition of surfaces: painting or other treatments.
Before proceeding, in the search for the fault that determines the total or partial non-functioning, remember to
check that the connections, related to the wiring of the current circuit and power, have been performed as we
indicated.
p. 37 / 43
In fact, by not respecting the phase of the voltage and / or of the current, the apparatus does not work properly and
can even stop after a certain period of apparently regular function
a) Replacing the fuses.
• Before replacing a power fuse or auxiliary fuse remove the causes that caused the event.
• Replace them with types congruent with the original
b) replacement of contactors.
• The contactors have a useful life of around 100,000 operations and must therefore be replaced after reaching this number. If
you are not able to evaluate the number of maneuvers reached, you must periodically inspect the contacts and take the
necessary measures.
• Replace them with types that are completely congruent with the originals.
c) Replacing the capacitors
The capacitors must be replaced, with others of the same SERIES, whenever the following anomalies are found:
Loss of liquid.
Case throat raised.
Absorbed fundamental current of less than 20% of the rated voltage at the rated voltage.
Perform accurate maintenance whenever the equipment is subject to unusual and unpredictable phenomena. (Eg Intervention
of fuses, accidental bumps, exceptional presence of powders or liquids).
