Battery on Discharge Alarm
STEP Action for Testing the Battery on Discharge Alarm
NOTE: If the BD alarm was observed during the High Voltage Shutdown test
this test can be disregarded.
1. From the front panel follow the path(Voltage Alarms):
2. Note the setting of the Battery on Discharge Threshold. ________
3. With a dummy load added to the plant, operate all rectifiers to STBY
until the plant voltage drops below the BD (FLOAT) threshold.
4. Controller Observations:
• PMJ Alarm is active
• BD and MAJ LEDs are illuminated
5. Turn on all rectifiers
6. Controller Observations:
• PMJ Alarm retires
• BD and MAJ LEDs are extinguished
• System Voltage is normal
Rectifier Fail Alarm
The RFA alarm was observed during the High Voltage Shutdown Test so no separate test
is required.
Major Fuse Alarm
Major Fuse Alarm may be tested by placing a blown fuse in the alarm fuse position of
any distribution fuse position in the plant or by inserting a paper clip into the alarm
indicating hole of its fuse holder.
For distribution circuit breakers, temporarily connect the pins 8 and 9 of any KS22010
or KS22012 style circuit breakers together. This is accomplished on the ED83143-30
circuit breaker panels by shorting the (-) panel bus to pin 1 on the P4 connector of its
BNL1 alarm board.
Observation:
• The DIST and MAJ LEDs and Power Major and MJF alarm relays will be active.
• Remove alarm condition and verify that DIST,MAJ LEDs and MJF relay retire.
Alarms should be tested in each distribution bay of the plant to verify the integrity of
the alarm bus throughout the plant.
If the distribution bays are equipped with “Bay Fuse Alarm” indicating LEDs, also verify
that this LED activates during these tests for the bay in which the alarm originates (and
not in any other).
