LVLD Non-Priority Load Disconnection

The document discusses how a power system controller uses an LVLD contactor to disconnect and reconnect non-priority loads during critical battery conditions. It disconnects loads when the mains power fails and battery voltage drops below a threshold, or when the backup time expires. It reconnects loads when mains power returns, enough time has passed since disconnection, and the system voltage rises above a reconnect voltage threshold. It notes an option to reconnect independently of mains power status when an additional solar system may be recharging the batteries.

LVLD ~ Non-Priority Load Disconnection


To extend the power system’s battery bank capacity, during a critical condition -- or when the load’s
backup leasing time has expired -- the system’s controller disconnects and reconnects the non-
priority load output circuits using the LVLD contactor.
The example in the figure shows a fan cooled power system with Mains failure, using a solar system
as an additional primary supply.
For information about the example’s voltage limits and criteria, read the topic Typical Parameters for
Alarm Monitors or the LVLD dialog box topic in PowerSuite Help.

In the example, the system’s controller trips the LVLD contactor (disconnects the non-priority
load circuits) when the following conditions are met:
• The AC Mains supply fails (critical condition)

AND
• The battery voltage has dropped down to e.g. 44V (Disconnect Voltage)

OR
• The non-priority load’s backup leasing time has expired (Disconnect Delay Time)
In the example, the system’s controller reconnects the LVLD contactor when all the following
conditions are met:
A. The AC Mains supply is ON again
(Normal Condition and Mains Dependent)
B. The LVLD contactor has been disconnected longer than the Delay After Disconnect period
of time
C. The rectifier system output voltage has risen to e.g. 48V (Reconnect Voltage)

NOTICE: In this example -- while the Mains supply is OFF -- an additional


solar system may recharge the battery bank.
The LVLD contactor will NOT be reconnected because the Mains supply is still
OFF (condition A).
In this situation, the controller may reconnect the LVLD contactor, if you check
the “Mains Independent” option, which you find in the LVLD dialog box in
PowerSuite Help.
