Electrical system protection
Main switch
Description
The main switch (QO1) is on the 3-phase circuit in the electric cabinet. It has a knob
for on and off. The main switch has as standard under-voltage protection, thermal
overload protection and magnetic short-circuit protection.
‘The switch can be reset after being triggered by turning the knob to position 0 (OFF)
and then back to position 1 (ON).

Overload protection
The overload protection setting is dependent on the supply voltage and total electric
motor output.
‘The setting is made with DIP switches (11) on the main switch. Next to the DIP
switches is a mark indicating the different setting alternatives, Check the following,
table to see what setting to use.
The duration (t1) must be set to 12 seconds in all cases.

Short circuit protection
The settings for the short-circuit protection depend on the method of starting.
The setting is made with DIP switches (13) on the main switch. Next to the DIP
switches is a mark indicating the different setting alternatives.
For rigs with Y/D start or soft start, the short-circuit protection must be set to 4.5 x
the switch’s rated current (In).
For rigs with direct start, the short-circuit protection should be set to 10 x the switch’s
rated current (In),
Phase sequence switch
The electrical system has a phase sequence switch (K50) to prevent the electric
‘motors from starting if the power supply has the wrong phase sequence. If there is a
phase sequence problem, an indicator lamp on the electric cabinet will come on, see
operator's instructions Electrical system.
Ifthe phase sequence fault indicator lamp comes on, the following measures must be
taken by a qualified electrician.
1, Tum off the main switch for the input cable and pull out the plug.
2. ‘Switch two of the phases in the consumer mains source.
Settings
Must be set for a delay of 10 seconds and a minimum of 180V.

Ground fault equipment
‘The electrical system has an ground fault relay (K51) and an ground fault breaker
25)
‘The purpose of the ground fault relay (K51) is to protect the rig from fires in the main
circuit. This switch is set by the supplier to 300 mA and 0.5 seconds.
‘The ground fault switch (F25) provides personal protection as when it trips the sup-
ply to the transformer circuit for service outlet 230 V AC and to the battery charger
(U40) is disconnected. This switch is set to 30 mA and max. 40 ms.
The ground fault equipment should be tested regularly by a qualified electrician.
‘The ground fault equipment settings are checked prior to delivery and the equipment
sealed.

Phase sequence monitoring
Each hydraulic pump motor has an electronic motor protection relay (1FO1-4F01)
that protects the motor against overheating (thermistor) and overcun
Motor protection phase sequence monitoring (8) should be in the Off position.
‘The motor protection has a green LED (1) that indicates that the power supply is on
and that the output relay is in operating position. If the motor protection is triggered,
the LED goes out,
The motor protection has three LEDs (2, 3 and 4) to indicate which type of fault has
triggered the protection.
LED (4) illuminates when the permitted motor temperature has been exceeded (over-
heating). The electric motor stops in the event of overheating.
LED (3) illuminates in the event of a phase loss or a phase error. The electric motor
stops or cannot be started,
207Maintenance instructions
10. Electrical system, IEC
LED (2) illuminates when the permitted motor current is exceeded (overcurrent),
Motor protection then triggers because the motor is overloaded (thermal overload).
If the protection has been triggered
1. Check which LED (2, 3 or 4) is on and
ify the cause of the stoppage.
a. LED (4) is on. Check that the electric motor is properly cooled or if it has been
overloaded for a long time.
b, LED (3) is on. Tum off the main power contactor for the input cable and pull
out the plug from the wall socket. Then check the cables in the electric motor
circuit and the electric motor.
¢. If LED (2) illuminates, it means that the motor current exceeds the set rated
current and that the motor protection has been triggered.
Check that the voltage is not less than the voltage for which the rig is designed.
The voltage for which the rig is designed can be read on the data plate for the
rig of the electric motor. If the voltage is correct, check the electric motor cir-
cuit, see item b above.
2. Once the cause of the stoppage has been rectified, reset the motor protection with
button (5).
Setting rated current
208
The motor protection must be set to the rated current of the motor unless the motor
has a service factor (SF) higher than 1.0.
+ Ifthe service factor is 1.15, the motor protection must be set to a value 15% higher
than the rated current,
+ Ifthe service factor is 1.3, the motor protection must be set to a value 30% higher
than the rated current.
The rated current and service factor are specified on the motor’s data plate.
The motor protection has a basic value of 4 A for GL 16, 15 A for GL 40, 40 A for
GL 90 or 60 A for GL 200, that must be taken into consideration when setting. The
value set for direct start must consequently be 4, 15, 40 or 60 A lower than the rated
current for the motor, alternatively 4, 15, 40 or 60 AA lower than the rated current for
the motor times the service factor (1.15 or 1.3). For Y/D start the value must be as
above but times 0.58.
rip class must be set to a value of 10 (7).
Settings are made using DIP switches on the motor protection (6).Maintenance instructions

Battery charger
General
The battery charger (U40) supplies the rig's 24 V-system and is fitted integrated into
the electrical distribution cabinet (A10)..
The supply voltage to the battery charger must be 240 V AC, 45-65 Hz.
Figure: Battery charger (U40)
When replacing a battery charger the correct charging voltage must be set. The charg-
ing voltage is adjusted on screw (1) and must be set at 26.8V, Measure the set voltage
between 2(+) and 3(-) using a voltmeter,
Cable recommendations
For recommendations regarding the power supply cable, see the chapter General.
Diagnostics
Before starting fault finding, check that:
+ all fuses are intact and tumed on.
+ the correct power supply is connected to the rig (see voltmeter).
+ all warning lamps on the electric cabinet are in working order (lamp test)
