 NOTE ABOUT THE ROUTE TAKEN BY AND TREATMENT OF WATER FOR
CONSUMPTION
(example for an overseas pumping station)

Water is pumped from a river or water table by sets of electrical pumps.

It is then filtered in a settling tank using successive layers of sand and gravel.
This clean water is then treated with chemicals against organic impurities and algae and with
calcium hydroxide to rectify the pH, or in other words to decrease the acidity of the water.
Next, the clean water is moved towards a water tower by means of motorised pumps and pipes
The water tower will then supply water at a constant pressure for users.

The CHATO system enables students to simulate this entire circuit, from the stage
where water is pumped from rivers to the stage where it arrives in people’s homes.

 PREPARATION FOR THE COMMISSIONING OF THE CHATO MODEL

Note: The 150-litre tank should be filled ONLY when the unit is POWERED OFF

Filling the tank: - - Using a watering can or a hosepipe, fill the water tank
(river) via the specially-provided orifice.

- Fill the tank to the level of the handle

Note: if a water leak is noticed in the tanks

or piping, the CHATO system MUST be
secured.

Checking the manual valves:

Check that the manual valve and the drain tap are closed.
Check that the two manual valves for adjusting the flowrate of water at the output of the
motorised pump are open.

14
 Connecting the sensor and water flow sensor display (optional):

- Connect the flow sensor at the output of the motorised pump.

- Connect the flow sensor lead to the rear of the display unit.

- Connect the unit’s power supply to the 220V socket behind the power console. A green lamp
indicates that a voltage is present.

The flowrate display is ready for operation.

Note on the flowrate:

- This is the quantity of water (volume in cubic metres) which flows into a container for each
unit of time (in seconds).
The symbol for the flowrate is the letter Q. The legal unit is m³/s (cubic metres per second).

Measuring the flowrate:

A flowmeter is used (also known as a flow regulator). When moving across the flowmeter,
the liquid causes the vane to rotate. This generates a current of between 4 and 20mA inclusive,
depending on the flowrate of the water.

Electrical connection:
The three-phase plug can then be connected to the network.
The power console’s circuit breaker switch must be set to position «0».

The CHATO system is ready for operation.

15
 OPERATION OF THE CHATO MODEL

 REFERENCE TO THE SCHEMATIC OF THE CIRCUITS IN
DEVELOPED FORM

Definition of a schematic:
An electrical schematic is a symbolic and conventional representation of electrical installations.
It represents the various links between the elements of an installation, a set of apparatus or a
single piece of apparatus.
General layout of representation:
In the upper part of the schematic of the power circuits, the horizontal lines
represent the network. The various motors of the receiving apparatus are placed on shunts.
The control schematic is developed between two horizontal lines representing the two polarities.
Representation of the power circuits:
These are represented either in a unifilar form for simple cases (direct starting, etc…) or in a
multifilar form (star triangle starter, reverser...)
In the case of a unifilar representation, it is the number of oblique lines across the line
representing the connection which indicates how many similar conductors there are in the circuit
represented, for example two for a single-phase network, three for a three-phase network (cf. figure 1).
In order to allow the user to determine the section of the conductors, the electrical
characteristics of each receiver are indicated either in the schematic if it is simple, or in a key.
The various elements constituting the apparatus (coils, poles, auxiliary contact, etc ….) are not
represented on the schematic close to one another as they are in reality in the apparatus, but are
separated and are placed according to a layout which facilitates the comprehension of the operation.
Without exception, no link (interrupted line) must be reproduced on the schematic between
elements of the same apparatus.
To improve the clarity of the circuit schematics, letters and figures representing the identification
references which specify the nature of the apparatus are written on the left or at the bottom while the
identification of its terminals is indicated on the right or at the top (cf. figure 1).

Representation of the control and indication circuits:

On the schematic of the control and indication circuits, the symbols of the control elements of
the contacts, the relays and other electrically controlled apparatuses, are laid out one after the
other, as far as possible in the order corresponding to their supply during normal operation.
Two horizontal lines or a "common conductor" represent the supply. The coils of the various
conductors and receivers, lamps, warning devices, clock, etc… are connected directly to the lower
conductor.

Other elements:
- auxiliary contacts,
- external control apparatus (button, mechanical control contacts, etc….), as well as the connection
terminals are represented at the top of the control unit.

Operating Principle

The contactor is in the detente position. The clearance distance between the poles and the fixed and mobile magnetic circuits is maximum.
The apparatus is energized. The mobile magnetic circuit moves towards the fixed magnetic circuit taking the mobile poles with it.
The fixed and mobile poles come into contact. At this moment, there remains an air-gap whose dimension e1 is called the clearance
dimension.
Apparatus under power. The final movement of the mobile magnetic circuit compresses the springs of the mobile poles to obtain strong
pressure of these against the fixed poles.
At the end of the movement of the mobile circuit, there remains an air-gap "e2" on the median branch making it possible to avoid staying in
a closed position due to a remnant flow when switching off the power.

25
 The instantaneous contact blocks have 2 or
4 "O" or "F" contacts.
 They are fixed by a simple click to
the front face of the auxiliary
contacts, automatic locking
facilitates the assembly and
disassembly and ensures the
resistance to shocks and vibration.
 They are common to all the contact
sizes of the series 9-12-16-25-40-63.
 Their self-cleaning friction contacts
ensure good contact reliability.

Principle of automatic locking.

Principle of operation of the auto-cleaning contacts

1. With the apparatus at rest, the mobile contacts are at the bottom of the guide and displaced with respect to the fixed
contacts.
2. When the electromagnet closes, the mobile contacts come to rest against the fixed contacts in the same position as
previously.
3. The electromagnet finishes its movement by compressing the mobile contacts, by following the guide, effecting a movement
upwards leading to the friction on the fixed contacts.

26
 COMPOSITION OF THE CONTACT:

1) The electromagnet:

The electromagnet is the ‘driving’ element of the contact.

Essentially, it has a magnetic circuit and a coil.
A slight air-gap is included in the magnetic circuit in the closed position to avoid any risk of
remanence. It is constructed either by removal of metal or by insertion of a magnetic material.

- AC type magnetic circuit:

- silicon steel sheet assembled with rivets to avoid losses due to hysteresis.
- laminated circuit in order to reduce eddy currents which occur in any metallic mass subject to an
alternating current.
- One or two dephasing rings to create a flux in the fixed part of the magnetic circuit which is
displaced with respect to the main flux to prevent cancellation of the force of attraction and thus
vibrations.

- D.C. type magnetic circuit:

There is no disadvantage in using a contact with D.C. current. On the other hand, the coil must
be different. As there is no formation of eddy current, it is thus preferable to use a massive steel
magnetic circuit.

2) The coil:

It creates the magnetic flux necessary for the attraction of the mobile armature.
It is made of enamelled copper wire.

3) The poles:

They are designed to establish or interrupt the current in the power circuit. They are equipped
with stainless material contacts whose mechanical resistance and resistance to arcing are very
good. They are often supplemented by an electric anti-arcing device.

4) Auxiliary contacts:

They ensure auto-supply, locking, controls, indication, etc.

There are two different types:

Type 'F' 3 1 Type 'O'

4 2

One can also find supplementary units including this type of contact and time-lag supplementary
units.

Operation:

- Once the emergency protections and emergency stop are engaged, press S2, relay KA1 closes and
lamp H1 lights up.
- The motorised pump is engaged and lamp H2 lights up.
- The water level in the TANK rises to the HIGH level.
- When it reaches this level, relay KA2 is engaged, cuts the power to KM1 and the motorised pump
stops.
- As soon as the level falls below the HIGH level, by pressing push-button S4 the motorised pump will
be engaged and will stop again at the HIGH level.
- At any moment, pressing button S3 stops the cycle.
- In the event of a problem, pressing the emergency stop button S1 stops the cycle.

Handling:

- Check that the time taken for the TANK to fill with water varies depending on the position of the
valve on the motorised pump outlet.

- Measure different values of the electric current consumed by the motorised pump depending on a
variation in the position of the valve. This manipulation is only possible if the GD option (override of
the safety system preventing the door being opened during use) has been selected. Note: this
operation must absolutely be carried out by an experienced person or using IP2X equipment.
- When the TANK is filling, measure the load characteristic of the motorised pump (I = f(Q), where Q
is the flowrate in m³/h). This measurement is possible if the flow sensor has been selected.

Operation:

For efficient operation, the manual flowrate adjustment valve at the output of the motorised
WATER TOWER pump must be set to a flowrate slightly above that of the water evacuation
valve.
The level sensor Ncm must be rotated through 180° so that its contact opens when the water
reaches its level. To do this, slightly unscrew the plastic nut on the outside of the tank from the
sensor and rotate it through 180°. Retighten the nut. This operation must be performed when
the power is off and the tank empty.

- Once the emergency protections and emergency stop are engaged, press S2, relay KA1 closes and
lamp H1 lights up.
- Contact KM1 fixes and controls the motorised TANK pump and lamp H2 lights up.
- The water level in the TANK increases and when it reaches the average level it engages relay KA3
which controls contact KM2. The motorised WATER TOWER pump and the lamp are then powered.
- When the water level reaches the HIGH level, relay KA2 is engaged, cuts the power to KM1 and the
motorised TANK pump stops.
- When the water level in the tank reaches the LOW level, relay KA2 is cut and contact KM1 is
engaged again and it controls the motorised TANK pump.
- The water level in the WATER TOWER is maintained at the average level regardless of the valve's
water flow setting.
- At any moment, pressing button S3 stops the cycle.
- In the event of a problem, pressing the emergency stop button S1 stops the cycle.

Handling:
- Check that the time taken for the TANK to fill with water varies depending on the position of the
valve on the motorised pump outlet.
- Measure different values of the electric current consumed by the motorised TANK pump depending
on a variation in the position of the valve. This manipulation is only possible if the GD option
(override of the safety system preventing the door being opened during use) has been selected.
Note: this operation must absolutely be carried out by an experienced person or using IP2X

PROCEDURE FOR A SIMPLE WIRING REPAIR ELECTROTECHNICS ON A GRID

A) ANALYSIS OF REASONS FOR FAULTS:

Despite the very large number and broad variety of possible disturbances, they may be attributed to:
- a complete power outage in the circuit,
- a "bad contact" which causes resistance in the circuit,
- accidental contact between two resistors.
These faults may occur together, or one may be caused by the other.
