The charger unit shall be capable of delivering requisite current under float, quick and boost condition as may be necessary for the battery to keep it healthy in the useful life and in the manner as specified by the Battery manufacturer at varying voltages to meet the requirement of battery charging characteristics. Constant current charging of the battery sets shall be the essence of initial charging while setting to service in order to ensure feeding of specified Amperehour to the battery sets being commissioned. Modular construction to incorporate the desired features to define the individual functions as specified hereunder is desired. High galvanic insulation level should be maintained. Insulation resistance measured between Earth and input/ output terminals and between input and output terminals shall not be less than 2 Meg-ohms when measured with 500V D.C. insulation tester. The Float-cum-Boost charger shall be able to charge the battery maintaining across the equipment a voltage of 48V (+10%, -5%) DC or maintain a voltage to reach a maximum of 2.3V per cell under float conditions and offer to the load the specified voltage. The quick and boost charging mode should ensure that the load is fed with its rated voltage only by means of dropper diodes. II. Design requirement:Float-cum-Boost charger for 48V/ 300 AH Plante Lead Acid Battery set shall fulfill following design requirements:i) ii) The equipment shall have 3-phase full wave rectifier bridge employing diodes and thyristors at the secondary side of the transformer for regulation of output voltage. Single phasing trip with indication and alarm shall be provided at the input supply side of the equipment. There shall be facility for auto switching ON of the charger when 3 phase supply is restored.

Page 6 of 9 iii) The Battery Charger shall have following output DC voltages in float, quick and Boost mode : a) Battery Voltage at Float Mode = 48V 55.2V DC adjustable. b) Battery Voltage at Quick Mode = 55.2V 56.4V DC adjustable. c) Battery Voltage at Boost Mode = 56.4V 66V DC adjustable. Charge current control with soft start and overshoot protection feature should be incorporated. Output current of the charger unit shall be capable of continuously adjustable throughout the entire range. There should be an error amplifier card in the charger to facilitate constant current charging. Total current shall be kept limited so as not to exceed the rated current limit of the unit. DC load over voltage protection with annunciation and tripping facility shall be incorporated. Battery under voltage indication with alarm at 1.85 volt per cell and load auto disconnect feature at 1.75 volt per cell shall be provided. The auto load disconnect facility shall have auto reset and manual reset options. Auto reset will take place when battery gets charged upto 2.2 volts per cell. Provisions for adjustment of levels of these voltages shall be provided. There should be individual voltage sensor card in the charger to monitor battery voltage & bring in dropper diode bank automatically to keep load voltage within limit. In auto mode the equipment shall monitor float current drawn by the battery, and if the float current is more than 10-15 times the rated float current, the charger will automatically switch over to quick charge mode and on reaching quick charge voltage level, it will revert back to the float mode. Fuse failure indication and alarm facility to be provided for SCR fuses, rectifier fuses, main input fuses, load output fuses, battery fuse, capacitor bank fuse, A.C. input circuit breaker trip. Individual test switch to be provided for checking healthiness of lamps and alarm. Audio and visual alarm indication for A.C. mains fail, phase fail, charger fail with accept and reset push buttons to be provided. Power factor improvement capacitor to be incorporated to ensure P.F. as per specification. Lamps to be provided at AC mains available condition.
