CONTRACT No. C2347
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS 3.3MVA
WITH MICRO CONTROL
1. Ensure that the load module is properly sited and stable. Allow a minimum
clearance of 2m (recommended 4m for the grilles), and ensure that the inlet and
exhaust grilles are free from obstruction.
2. Connect the test load cables. Ensure an adequate EARTH connection is made to
the chassis of the equipment.
5. Connect the controller unit to the control-input socket mounted on the load
module facia of the master unit, this is marked ‘Control Terminal’.
6. Ensure that all covers are fixed and all doors closed.
7. This equipment has been fitted with an ‘Emergency Stop’, if pressed this will
shed all load and stop the movement of the fans.
10. The load module is fitted with automatic correction of phase rotation on the fan
supplies. Once the fans have started check that the airflow is normal and in the
direction from the fans and across the elements.
11. If a cooling fault condition occurs, by loss of the airflow due to the inlet grilles
being blocked or fan failure, which is detected by airflow switches AF1 – AF8,
or if the temperature sensors inside the load module exceeds 90°C the load will
automatically lock out.
12. At the end of a test the load should be set to zero and the fans left running for 5
minutes to cool the resistive elements. The number of starts per hour of the fans
should be limited to ten to avoid overheating.
13. A 110V inlet socket is provided for internal lighting and anti-condensation
heating. This circuit should remain live at all times whenever possible, to
prevent condensation build-up inside the load module and the micro control
chamber.
Maintenance
Crestchic Load Banks are virtually ‘maintenance free’ however we do recommend
that the units are checked once a year for tightness of all electrical and mechanical
connections, and also the load contactors should be checked for wear.
The resistive elements are long life maintenance free items, if an element was to blow
or become damaged for any reason, obviously this would affect the loading of the
electrical supply under test. The element cannot be repaired and a replacement
element would have to be installed, this could be obtained from Crestchic Ltd. (please
specify kW rating and voltage engraved on the element).
Fan units are fitted with ‘sealed for life’ bearings lubricated with wide temperature
range grease and require no maintenance.
Door hinges and fasteners should be lubricated every 6-months, and also castor
mounted units should have the castors lubricated.
Replacing Elements
Disconnect the cables or coppers connected to the faulty element termination points.
The elements are fitted with two glands at the termination ends which securely holds
the element in position, some Load Banks are fitted with element support hooks and
others fitted with `toast racks' to support the other end. Remove the nuts on the glands
to free the element. Remove one of the grilles in the element chamber (the nearest to
the element) and slide the element out.
Torque Settings
To ensure correct tightness of all electrical POWER connections, the following table
of torque settings should be referred to.
