Operating Instructions – General Instructions inserted in each relay box Power Factor Control Relay CXPLUSR (CONTACTOR SWITCHING) CXPLUST (THYRISTOR SWITCHING) These instructions apply from Ser. No. 1136054 Software 2.00 – Rev 6 issue date 29.6.2012 Contents 1.0 CONNECTION TO SUPPLY Page 2 1.2 - Current Transformer notes...
1.0 CONNECTION TO SUPPLY 1.1 Installation must only be carried out by suitably qualified personnel. All local safety regulations must of course be followed including IEE wiring regulations 17th edition if installation is in the UK. The power supply to the relay is taken from the phase – phase 50 or 60hz voltage and connected via a fuse 6A max to Um1 and Um2.
1.6.2 (CXPLUS..T – Thyristor switching) 2.0 ENERGISING THE RELAY 2.1 The CXPLUS has a default lockout time of 75 seconds and will start counting down, after energising. This to ensure that capacitors are not switched in immediately after power loss and an emergency generator start up - for example.
The Scroll through Menu – What do the Symbols mean? To see these readings, when you are in the main display and the Cosphi power factor is displayed ., press enter ► and you see U ., now press▼ to scroll through the other readings phase –...
3.0 THE QUICK START MENU 100 TO SET CT AND VT RATIOS The 100 Menu allows you to set the CT ratio- voltage measurement values, target power factor setting., and switching time per step. This is the menu the Commissioning Engineer can use on site. Other settings in the expert menus can be made with the help of a qualified Engineer or Technician.
▼ CPI – or Target Power factor setting Set to the required target PF. Note if you press ▲ when the CPI is 1 you will go into a leading pf setting. You can target up to 0,70 lead., which is an unlikely setting but when the PFC is on the LV side of a transformer and the customer is paying for energy on the HV side it may be useful to target to about 0.99 lead so as to compensate for transformer reactive current which is creating I²R losses in the windings on no load.
5.0 THE INFO MENU To get into the INFO press escape ◄ a few times and then ▼., and you see INFO in the top right corner of the display. Enter the INFO programme with ►. Now you see the steps in the bottom section of the display.1-6 ., or 1-12., or 1-14 depending on the number of steps on this relay.
