Battery commisioning

a. Battery capacity test

 Measure and record every battery voltage (per cell) and temperature before doing
the discharging test (the measurement point is on the battery cell directly)
 Connect the dummy load to the output terminal of battery, make sure the breaker
which connect the battery to the dummy load is open
 Check the battery polarity and switch on the breaker and start up the dummy load
 Keep a constant discharge current by adjusting resistance according to voltage dop
by time progress
 The discharge capacity test will be conducted by twelve hours rate
The dishearge current shall be as follows:

Capacity : Ah
Total battery : Ea
Voltage/ battery :V
Overall voltage :V
Duration test (hour) :h

Corrected current at t°C is calculated as follows:

( Ah) .(correction factor)

It=
h

It=discharge current at t ° C

Correction factor = refer t° table-1

hours

 Measure the battery voltage and temperature of pilot cell every hour during
discharge test
 After 12 hours, shut down the dummy load and switch off the breaker
 Overall voltage of the battery should be greater than 104V (1V+104) after h hours
discharging

b. Battery recharging
 Check the battery polarity and connect to the charger, make sure the breaker is
switch off
 The charging mode used by floating charge. The current is limited to below 0.2CA (C
= battery capacity), the constant voltage is 3.35V/monomer, the charge time
depends on the depth of discharge, see table-2

CB commissioning
a. Simultaneity (synchronize) and close/open time
 Take off the CB module and reverse the position of the contact finger to outside
 Connect the control terminal to the panel
 Put on the measurement cable on every phases
 Start the breaker analyzer machine according to the close-open command
 Analize the result on the computer, the result will be shown in numeric and graphic
 Record also the cycle operating test open-close-open time
 Record pole discrepancy each contact
