    CHAPTER 2 – GENERAL DESCRIPTION 2.1 INTRODUCTION The PowerPro ELXA is a high performance Emergency Lighting Static Inverter (SI) system, designed to deliver complete emergency lighting protection for a range of applications, in accordance with European BS EN50171 specification. Key features High performance, single phase input and single phase output, modular static inverter system ranging from 0.5kVA to 3kVA.
  • Page 7: Functional Description

    2.2 FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION The PowerPro ELXA is a modular Static Inverter (SI) comprising power module, distribution and batteries in one cabinet. All components are all accessed from the front of the cabinet with all power connections located at the top of the PowerPro ELXA cabinet. Figure 2.1.
  • Page 8: Modes Of Operation

    2.3 MODES OF OPERATION Changeover mode When operating in the ‘changeover’ mode the rectifier is turned on to provide battery charging. The inverter is turned on and operating on standby (off load) The bypass-side of the static switch is turned on to connect the SI OUPUT to the AC INPUT via the internal bypass line. If the utility supply fails, the static switch will transfer the SI OUPUT to the inverter within 10ms.

    2.3.3.1 FRONT PANEL MENU DESCRIPTIONS Figure 2.5 No. Symbol Indication Description Over load The loading exceeds the rating of Inverter. Load level The higher the loading, the more bars will illuminate. Inverter is loaded The Inverter is supplying a load. Normal mode The sine wave symbol will display steadily without battery symbol when Inverter is in the normal mode.
  • Page 12 Boost mode The AVR is increasing the output voltage of the Inverter (when the input voltage is too low), and the sine wave symbol, as mentioned in item 4, will display to indicate it is in the normal mode HIGH Thermal alarm The temperature inside the Inverter is over 55℃.

    2.3.3.2 AUDIBLE ALARMS During a utility failure or fault operation, the EL-Inverter a emits beeping sound for warning. In back-up mode, the alarm can be silenced by pushing the “MAIN CONTROL ON/OFF BUTTON” button. However, the warning of low battery will still sound urging user that load will be lost. 2.3.4 TEST SWITCH If the EL-Inverter is in normal operation it is supplying the load by the incoming utility supply.
