b. The cabinet must be equipped with modular Class 2 surge protection device mounted on a din rail (for example DEHN). c. The ATS system must be installed with the following electrical components, in line with wiring diagram shown in Figure A3-16 Control breakers Duty Cycle Timer Remote switching device (relays) Electro-Mechanical Contactor Distribution breakers and connectors Cable trunks E b ath ar Male Industrial plug outlet (for emergency or mobile generator connection) d. All installation must be connected with the following consideations: All cable routing must be passed through the cable trunk There must be no loosely connected wires, and wires must be cut to length. Dangling wire are not acceptable.

All cabling to be correctly terminated by lugged and crimp terminals with the appropriate tooling

A3.18.5. Functional Requirement of Triple Input ATS

Each site will be fitted with an "ATS Command Cabinet", the wiring diagrams is shown in Figure The main requirement of the ATS is outlined as follows: 2.

a.

The diesel generator sets is expected to perform and the following features are also expected to be monitored through the ATS.

b.

Voltage and frequency parameters (+/-10% programmable by operator) of the Electricity supply and the diesel alternators Sets (generator set).

c. d. e.

Oil pressure parameters (+/-10% programmable by operator) of the diesel generator sets. High temperature parameters (+10% programmable by operator) of the diesel generator sets Starting and stopping of the generator set, the control intelligence shall be such that if a program selected Generator set fails during a Electricity outage, then the load will be switched if the runtime is exceeded for that back to the remaining (idle or standby) generator set, even set, with regards to the balancing of engine hours.

f.

The autom control shall m provision for three consecutive stating attem atic ake pts, Thereafter the set must be switched off and the stat failure relay on the switchboard shall a visible and audible indication of the fault. The cank and rest period must be adjustable on site. give

g.

Connect the load to one of the above sources through interlocked contactor arrangements electricity.

h.

Provide potential free alarm contacts and a terminal marshalling section for the generator set sand other alarms.

i. j.

Provide a potential free contact for hybrid functionality. (A bypass switch must be fitted to switch the Contactor Failure) These m be designed in such a w that no sources can parallel, if m ust ay is-operated accidentally. The bypass switches must have "NORM AL" position, "BYPASS" position and "OFF" position. electricity supply directly to the load in the event of

k.

A 32Amp 3<}> five-pin 90 degrees angled industrial male connector of IP 67 protection rating Mounted on the side of the control Cabinet to enable a mobile generator to be connected to

the system in an emergency, through a manual change-over switch.

A3.18.6. Battery Charger

a. Whilst the set is stationary, the engine battery shall be charged via a battery charger mounted in the ATS. b. The charger shall be of the constant voltage, low current ripple type with the current limit set at am axim of six A ps. O um m utput voltage shall be kept w ithin i%of the load voltage for maximum battery life. The charger shall be suitably sized to constantly supply any standing load on the battery plus a charging current, which will recharge the battery to +/- 90% in less than 8 hours.

A3.18.7. Remote Alarms

Potential free contacts will be provided for the following alarms: a. Common alarm for each generator set b. Mains Failure Alarm c. Low bulk tank fuel level

d. Engine running for each set

A 3.18.8. H ybrid M ode In this mode the AC power will not be available for the site load rather the site load will powered by battery. The ATS panel should be able to take a potential free signal from the Hybrid power cabinet depending on the charge/ discharge status of the battery at a preset value in order to stat or put off the generating set. If electricity is available, it therefore takes priority, supply the site load and charge the battery.
