(il moore INDUSTRIES April 1995 Description Moore Industries’ PDC DC Voltage Transducer and Ground Fault Detector simultaneously monitors both voltage level and ground faults in a floating battery system. The PDC eliminates the need for separate devices to perform these very important functions. The POC accepts a de input from a battery. It accurately converts the input to a proportional current (0-1mA or 4-20mA) signal output ready for interface with a readout device or a SCADA system. While monitoring power usage, the PDC continu- ously checks the battery system for leakage to ground. Battery leakage can quickly render a system useless, and also present a safety hazard When a fault is detected, the PDC outputs @ contact closure signal that activates a light, buzzer or similar warning device. For applications not requiring dual monitoring, single-unction POC’s are also available. The PD Configuration performs only as a de voltage trans. ducer, while the PG configuration acts only as a ground fault detector. Easy Installation and Maintenance—A\l Moore Industries power transducers are enclosed in rugged and rustproof extruded aluminum housings that provide superior heat dissipation. Keyhole cutout screw holes allow installation and removal by loosen- ing the mounting screws, All circuitry is attached to the PDC’s front panel to allow quick access to the circuitry without remov- ing the entire housing. The circuit boards slide smoothly out of the housing on PC board guides that run the entire length inside the unit's housing.

Combination Monitor and Ground Fault Detector The POC (DG configuration) simultaneously monitors power usage and detects ground faults. Monitor Battery Voltage Level The POC continually tracks the amount of power being consumed by a battery-powered device or system. It accepts @ de input from a battery, and converts it to @ proportional current (O-1mA or 4-20mA) signal output ready for interface with a readout device or SCADA systern. NOTE: With the -EXP of -SP option, the input-to-output relationship is different than standard (e.g., with the 125DC input type, a 75Vde input will equal a 4mA output). Ground Fault Detector ‘The PDC detects leakage to ground in a floating battery back-up system. Ground faults can drain away energy and render the system useless. They can sometimes present a safety hazard as well ‘When the PDC senses momentary ground shorts of between 5 and 300K ohms (user-selectable), it outputs a contact closure signal for as long as the Condition exists. The signal can be used to call attention to the fault condition via an annunciator Peanel ight, buzzer or other on/off device. Two LEDs €n the unit's front panel indicate whether the fault is positive or negative. The LED lit by the fault condi- tion will remain on until reset by a manual push button located on the unit's front panel. Detects Positive and Negative Faults—The POC continuously compares the amount of current flowing between the positive terminal and ground, ‘and the negative terminal and ground. Under normal ‘operating conditions, these values would be equal. However, if the POC senses a difference between the two values, power is leaking to ground. The PDC transmits its constant contact closure signal to call attention to the ground fault. Figure 1 illustrates detection of a negative ground fault.PDC DC Voltage Transducer and Ground Fault Detector -+———"‘ssim 12027 eo —_ 163m ee teary ‘ion —— ane ‘ion irsem 3 Figure 2 instataton Dimensions auios c= coNTACT quite a Curur —neur CLOSURE EXTERNAL woop TERNAL oe = OUTPUT POWER. a pO | Wen ene if !
