5.8 Selection of Current Transformer Primary Value
By pressing SET button 3 seconds, SET Menu is started.
CTR light is selected by means of UP-
DOWN buttons. Ct symbol is displayed.
Current Transformer Primary Value is
selected by pressing SET button. Previously
selected CTR value is shown on the display.
A value between 5--1 0 0 00 is adjusted
by using UP-DOWN buttons.
When targeted value is displayed, it is red by
pressing SET button and RG-T returns to its normal operating mode.
5.9 Protection of Capacitor Steps Against Over Voltage
This is a selectable function, either O OF (Over Voltage Protection O ) or an Over Voltage
value between 410-480V can be selected. If “Over Voltage” occurs when Over Voltage Value is
selected (between 410-480V), then all the capacitor steps switch o, OVERVOLTAGE LED turns
on and alarm relay activates. And if RG-T is on Manual Mode, it switches to Automatic Mode.
If 0 0F is selected; Then over voltage protection is disabled.
Setting can be made as followed.
Push SET button 3 seconds and enter SET Menu.
Scroll to“OVER V.”by UP/DOWN buttons.
OV is displayed.
Push SET button for Over Voltage
Protection setting. Either O OF or
preset over voltage value is displayed.
Select either O OF to cancel Over
Voltage Protection Function or select
a voltage value by UP/DOWN buttons.
Push SET button to store the selected value. RG-T returns to normal
operating mode.
5.10 Display of CosjValue
When RG-T is in Manual Operating Mode, Cosjvalue and inductive/capacitive state
is always displayed. When Cosjvalue is negative,the system is capacitive and if Cosj value is
positive, the system is inductive.In Automatic Operating Mode, system’s present Cosj value
and ind./cap. state may be displayed by selecting the Cosjlight, by means of UP-DOWN
buttons.
5.11 Display of Power Factor (PF) Value
When RG-T is in Automatic Operating Mode (AUTO/MAN light is continuouslly ON), PF light
is selected by means of UP-DOWN buttons and sytem’s Power Factor value is displayed.
This option is disabled in Manual Operating Mode.
Important Denition:Cosjis dened as Displacement Power Factor and is relative to
the fundamental harmonic only. PF is dened Total Power Factor and is relative to the all
harmonics including fundamental harmonic. In a system without harmonics, PF and Cosj
are equal to each other.
Attention: The dierence between cosjand PF values does not mean that voltage
harmonics, which leads to problems in systems, are high on the network.
5.12 Displaying RMS Values of Voltage and Current
When RG-T is in Automatic Operating Mode (AUTO/MAN light is ON) and V light is
selected, RMS value of Voltage (V) is displayed.
If I light is selected, RMS value of Current (I) is displayed. Displayed current and voltage
values are of the phase where CT is connected. These options are disabled in Manual
Operating Mode.
5.13 Display of Active Power (W) Value
When RG-T is in Automatic Operating Mode (AUTO/MAN light is continuouslly ON) and W
light is selected by means of UP-DOWN buttons, system’s Active Power value is displayed.
This option is disabled in Manual Operating Mode.
5.14 Display of Reactive Power (VAr) Value
When RG-T is in Automatic Operating Mode (AUTO/MAN light is continuouslly ON) and VAr
light is selected by means of UP-DOWN buttons, system’s Reactive Power value is displayed.
This option is disabled in Manual Operating Mode.
5.15 Display of Apparent Power (VA) Value
When RG-T is in Automatic Operating Mode (AUTO/MAN light is continuouslly ON) and VA
light is selected by means of UP-DOWN buttons, system’s Apparent Power value is displayed.
This option is disable in Manual Operating Mode.
6. DESCRIPTION
6.1 Errors and Warnings
The Alarm Relay is activated if the following“errors” occur.
6.1.1 Over Voltage
If the phase to phase voltage of the L1 phase exceeds or equals to preset Over Voltage Value
(between 410-480V), then RG-T waits for 3 seconds. At the end of 3 seconds if there is still
over voltage, then OVER VOLTAGE LED turns on. Depending on selection of Over Voltage
Protection Function (Pls. refer to 5.9), RG-T switches o all the capacitor steps or continues
to compensation.
Over Voltage error disappears, if set Over Voltage value decreases by 4VAC.
In this case, OVER VOLTAGE LED turns o and RG-T continues to compensation.
6.1.2 Insucient Compensation
When target power factor is not reached although all the capacitor steps have been
connected, INSUFFICIENT COMPENSATION’s light is ON and the Alarm Relay is activated.
6.1.3 Over Compensation
If the system is still capacitive although all the capacitor steps are disconnected, OVER
COMPENSATION light is ON and Alarm Relay is activated.
6.2 Target Cosj
The target Cosjvalue can be adjusted between 0.85-1.00 inductive. RG-T connects
capacitors in order to bring system’s power factor to the adjusted value. The adjusted value
is dened as 1.25xQC1 value.Switching operation occurs out of this region.
6.3 Adjustable Step Switching Time
Step switching on/o delay time can be adjusted between 2 sec.-1800 sec.
Warning: Shorter time than above range can lead to damage in capacitors and
conductors.
If capacitor banks do not have discharge coils, the delay time must be selected over
14 seconds. The selected delay time must not be shorter than the manufacturer’s
instruction.
6.4 Switching Program Selection
RG-T has 5 dierent program modes which determines the power ratio sequence of the
capacitor steps:
PS1 selection ===> 1: 1: 1:.......: 1
PS2 selection ===> 1: 2: 2:.......: 2
PS3 selection ===> 1: 2: 4:.......: 4
PS4 selection ===> 1: 2: 4: 8:...: 8
PS5 selection ===> may be all of the above
6.4.1 RG-T Capacitor Sequence Examples
The power ratio selection between capacitor steps is very important. When choosing the
ratio beetween the power of capacitor steps , the rating of each capacitor step value may
exceed that of the rst by a maximum amount equal to the total of the preceding capacitor
steps value. So the rst step value will be the smallest one and the following steps must be
the multiplies of the rst step.
Example: If the rst capacitor power is 5 kVAr, the capacitor power sequence of the
following capacitors are as followed:
PS1 selection ===> 5. 5: 5:...............: 5
PS2 selection ===> 5: 10: 10:...........: 10
PS3 selection ===> 5: 10: 20:...........: 20
PS4 selection ===> 5: 10: 20: 40:.....: 40
PS5selection ===> may be all of the above
