Using Rms Current Limiter - NF DP Series Instruction Manual

4. Advanced Operation

4.1.2 Using RMS Current Limiter

Effective value of output current is limited by the RMS current limiter. While the limiter is working,
icon is displayed and LIMIT LED illuminates.
Setting values of RMS current limiter are variable, and kept independently for each of 100 V and
200 V ranges.
You can choose whether to make the output off or not upon the triggering of the RMS current
limiter. If you choose to set the output off, specify the continuous operation time of limiter until the
output off becomes effective. Whether output off is set or not and the time setting are common
regardless of the output ranges.
For the default setting range, see 10.13.
[DP series Type R only]
While the reverse power flow is occurring, the effective value of output current is not limited.
However, icon
of output current exceeds the set limit value.
-------- Notes ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 It will take time from the limiter starts operation until the output current is restricted enough,
because the RMS current limiter needs to calculate effective value. Use the peak current
limiter to limit the current quickly. For peak current limiter, see 4.1.1.
 When the number of units is increased or decreased based on the power unit energization
setting, the setting is reset to the factory default setting corresponding to the capacity (e.g.
reset to the factory default setting of 4.5 kVA model when only three units of 6 kVA model are
in operation).
 In the polyphase model and the polyphase system, the setting of the RMS current limiter is
common to all phases.
 If the output off after the continuous operation of the limiter for the specified duration is
enabled, the setting of output-off phase is ignored.
 In the polyphase model, the neutral line current is not limited.
 [DP series Type R only] While the reverse power flow is occurring, limiting the output current
may cause the output voltage rise and the load damaged, so the output current is not limited.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
CAUTION
 For loads with very low impedance (e.g. output short circuit, etc.), the RMS current limiter
cannot sufficiently limit the output current and may exceed the rated current. Use within the
rated current range by checking the current measured value and using the peak current limiter
together etc.
