4.2 RATING OF BATTERY

| 5 of
PGNDP0464-03-ECI-SPC-013
20
 Battery Tripping Units
Specification

Rev. A Date. 25.08.2014

Battery capacity shall be a minimum of 10 amps hours at the 3 hour rate. In determining
this rating, due cognisance shall be taken of the variation in ambient temperatures
possible and the resulting variation in cell voltage. It is therefore required that the
specific amp hour rate shall be based on 80% of nominal cell capacity. Battery rating
shall be based on a final voltage per cell of 1,1 volts. Alcad type L16P or direct
equivalent are acceptable.
An alternative offer of “Vantage” type VN22L will also be considered.

4.3 CHARGING REGIME

The cells shall be charged by the float charge method, at a voltage to be recommended
by the supplier. Current limiting of the charger shall be included to give overall
recharging time from deep discharge condition of not more than 12 hours. Final charge
voltage shall be selected to give a minimum gassing level commensurate with a slight
positive pressure within the cell to reduce contact with outside air. Water loss should be
minimal at the selected voltage.
Due cognisance shall be taken of any sanding load specified in the data sheet attached.
In any case, the charger must have reserve capacity to supply 2 amps continuous
standing load during the entire charging period.

4.4 CHARGER CHARACTERISTICS

Charger construction shall incorporate the following features:

4.4.1 Alarms as specified.
4.4.2 DC voltmeter
4.4.3 DC ammeter
4.4.4 Incoming supply circuit breaker.
4.4.5 AC supply live – neon indicator.
4.4.6 Automatic equalising charge cycle.
4.4.7 Automatic battery capacity test with manual override for spot check indication.
4.4.8 Ambient temperature/voltage compensation based on battery suppliers’ published data.
4.4.9 Ripple content: less than 30% C3 current.
4.4.10 The charger shall have built-in monitoring to prevent over-charging. The design should
prevent a failure to boost charge as far as possible. Excessive voltage output should
result in disconnection of the battery unit from the charger with corresponding alarm.

4.5 STANDING LOADS

It should be assumed by the supplier that standing loads comprising microprocessor

relays are in use. Consequently the charger output should be equipped with suitable
chokes and filters to obviate consequential damage to relays, both in the normal
operating mode, and also in the event of disconnection of the battery load as a damping
component.

4.6 ELECTROLYTE CAPACITY

Cells are to remain maintenance free for many years. As an indication, the following
parameters are considered reasonable:

| 6 of
PGNDP0464-03-ECI-SPC-013
20
 Battery Tripping Units
Specification

Rev. A Date. 25.08.2014

Water topping up 4 years

Electrolyte replenishment 15 years
Notwithstanding this requirement, electrolyte containers shall be based on a minimum
capacity of 20 AH cells, i.e. capacity of enclosure shall be at least double the rating of
the cell plates.

4.7 ALARMS

The charger unit should provide a volt-free changeover contact wired to outgoing
terminals and local LED indication for the following conditions:
High voltage alarm: If boost charge is sustained for in excess of 20 hours, high
voltage alarm and battery disconnected from charger.
Low voltage/load test: At least once per day an automatic load test with low volt alarm
is to be cycled, with battery disconnected from charger during
test cycle.
Charger supply failed: Indicates failure of AC. supply to battery.
Earth fault alarm: Indicates condition of DC. insulation resistance decreasing
below 100 kOhm.

4.8 OUTPUT FACILITIES

Provision shall be made for four (4) output circuits, each individually switched via a
suitable rated miniature DC. circuit breaker. A 100A 100V diode shall be connected in
series with the positive terminal of each output circuit.

5. MANUFACTURING AND CONSTRUCTION DETAILS

TES:
 
1. With the exception of the use of Type 304L stainless steels in Type 5 Plant Severe-Sulphuric Acid, the preferred corrosion protection
systems are applied onto cold rolled mild steel plate with a thickness of 1.6 or 2.0mm.
2. For each type of conditions, two or three corrosion protection systems have been given in descending order of expected performance in
the given conditions. The particular location of the switchgears and/or enclosures, e.g. whether located in dust-free or air conditioned
rooms, or whether located in areas outside the specific conditions, must also be taken into account. For example, System 3 may be
used with a higher expected performance if the equipment is located in an air-conditioned room within the plant or mine environment.
3. The details of the system given in each case are generic. Only approved materials and applicators/vendors should be used and should
be asked to submit formal detailed specifications including the following:
 Approved brands or types of products
 Application and curing details
 Quality assurance procedures, including a Quality Control Plan (QCP) and inspection/testing routines
4. The performance estimates given are based on previous experience and judgement in terms of the various types of conditions. As there
are many different factors that influence performance, e.g. maintenance, mechanical damage, operational procedures, etc., these
estimates should only be used as guidelines when the different options, and their cost implications, are being considered.
