  • Page 17 Operation Using IntelliLink® Setup Software Measured current at each pole-unit is displayed below the lower terminal pad voltage, along with an arrow indicating the three-phase power-flow direction. When the arrow points right, current is flowing from the upper to the lower terminal pad. When the arrow points left, current is flowing from the lower to upper terminal pad.
  • Page 18 Operation Using IntelliLink® Setup Software • SETTINGS MISMATCH—Displays when the settings in the control are incompatible with the settings in the base memory module, no settings are active, and protection and restoration functions are not active (This can happen when a control with an updated setpoint file is placed into an IntelliRupter fault interrupter base that previously had an older, incompatible setpoint file in the base memory module.
  • Page 19 Operation Using IntelliLink® Setup Software • The OPEN/CLOSE/READY lever is in the Ready position. • A General profile is active (for example, the Hot Line Tag mode is not applied). • The Loop Restoration feature is enabled on both the Operation screen and for the presently active General profile.
  • Page 20 Operation Using IntelliLink® Setup Software Ground Trip When blocked, this function prevents the IntelliRupter fault interrupter from tripping because of a Ground Overcurrent element. It is commonly used when work is performed on one phase, that would be seen as a larger-than-normal load imbalance. This function does not activate a Ground Overcurrent element if one has not been set up in the active profile.

    Metering Figure 13. The Metering screen. All values are time-averaged and reported locally and via SCADA on a one-second interval. See Figure 13. Primary Metering Data X-Side and Y-Side Voltage—True RMS values of phase voltages in volts (Either the Phase-Ground or Phase-Phase measurement setting is configured in the Voltage Reporting setpoint on the Setup>General>Site-Related>System screen.) Current—True RMS values of phase current in amperes (Fundamental (phasor) derivatives are calculated for the residual current.)
  • Page 24 Metering Secondary Metering Data Residual-, negative-, and positive-sequence components are calculated for X-side voltage, Y-side voltage, and current. Voltage sequence components are derived by summing the product of the VAB and VCB inputs, with the latter multiplied by a unit vector having either +120 degree (positive sequence) or –120 degree (negative sequence) phase angle.

    Updating Firmware IntelliLink software includes an Update function to easily update the firmware. NOTICE Setpoint values and historical data stored in an IntelliRupter fault interrupter could be lost during an update process . Always save the settings and a snapshot file before updating the firmware .
  • Page 28 Updating Firmware NOTICE Canceling the update after it has started will deactivate the firmware in the IntelliRupter fault interrupter . It will not be possible to restore the data . Do not use the Preserve Data option when restarting the update. Because all setpoints have been lost, they must be reconfigured manually.

When any of the software components installed in the control have the same or higher version number as the versions being downloaded, a message similar to that shown in the Confirmation dialog box will open.

  • Page 30: Battery Management System

    Battery Management System Battery Management Battery capacity is affected by age, temperature, load cycling, and load. The battery- management system ensures available battery capacity will operate the IntelliRupter fault interrupter, and it gives advanced warning about a weak battery condition. The protection and control module continuously monitors battery voltage and runs scheduled battery tests.

  • Page 31: Battery Care And Maintenance

    Battery Management System Battery Care and The following maintenance procedures are recommended: Maintenance • Store batteries at room temperature. To maximize battery life, store all sealed lead- acid batteries at or below room temperature. When in service, the battery will be exposed to higher temperatures that impact its lifespan.
