  • Page 42: Modes Of Operation

    6.13 Modes of Operation 6.13.1 Mode A (Automatic) In this mode, the charger charges the battery in conformity with a programmed charging profile. A charging profile consists in turn of several charging stages in which each charging follows its own I / U profile. The I / U profile in stage 1 is determined using the current level I and the voltage level U .
  • Page 43: Mode C (Can Controlled)

    The transition into stage 2 can take place as early as phase I or U due to one or more conditions. In stage 2 the voltage level U is usually larger and the current level I is usually smaller than in stage 1. This stage is referred to as Equalisation Charge.
  • Page 44: Power Limitations

    6.14 Power Limitations In order to permanently protect the NLG5 from overload damages, the charging power is automatically limited through different power limitations. Here checks are constantly made to see whether all operational values are within the permitted range. The charging power is thereby permanently reduced to the level which is permitted under consideration of the current power limitations.
  • Page 45: Max. Mains Power

    6.14.2 Max. Mains Power The charger constantly monitors the applied charging power and limits this to 3680 W. In a 230 V mains supply, this corresponds to a primary current of 16 A. During this, the maximum permitted mains connection current is ignored and the power limiters Power Indicator and Control Pilot are not considered.
  • Page 46: Power Indicator
