This document explains how to
install an Equalizer / Activar
system and how to make sure
that the installation is correct
and the system is working
properly.
Warning; the installation of
electric equipment must be
done according to the local
electric safety code and by
authorized personal.
System Installation
See the User Manual for further information.
Connections
o Earth
o Neutral (optional)
o 3 phases of
voltage
o 3 phases of
currents from
the mains CTs
System Installation
Here is showed the previous concept:
1) Each phase must match voltage and current
measurement. (V,I facility per phase match same
phase V,I of system)
2) The current must be also with the right polarity.
The system is tested pre shipment.
Normal commissioning problems come in general from
points 1 and / or 2 being not true.

System Commissioning
Controller Configuration
System Configuration
Network Configuration
System configuration is complete, the system was full tested before shipment.
Network configuration must be completed based on customer network data. In
general the only parameter to change should be the Mains CT ratio.
Network CT type
Refer to User Manual for further information
Define the place of the Mains CTs, recommended and mostly used is Load + Caps or commonly
named closed loop, here controller reads system itself and loads. However some installations uses
Loads only.

Controller Mains reads all

Most of the cases the network has only one feeder and the layout is showed in the left.
Some cases networks have two or more feeders, in this case by using a summator, the layout is showed in the right.
Single feeder
Multiple feeders
Press ENTER

From Base screen,
Select MENU by pressing <F3>.
Most of the times, accept using CONFIRM AND CONTINUE the system
itself definition, going to the NETWORK CONFIGURATION part of the
controller.
When the groups are marked with Error and it is needed to connect them in
order to know the source of the fault, disable the Error #3 is needed.
After finding the problem, dont forget enable again the error.
Go to the system

MODIFY in the

Actual values are very close to NOMINAL values configured in the controller.

System Commissioning #1
See the User Manual for further information.
Take out all power fuses except for the first group.
System Commissioning #2
See the User Manual for further information.
The controller is in Install mode. Must be finished the network configuration in the
system. System itself configuration (# groups, their size and arrangement, as nominal
voltage and frequency) part ready and tested at manufacturing plant.
At least one group must be OK to finish the configuration. (power fuses on group 1
only), if not, you need to set the configuration until one group works.
Go to Mains voltage screen and verify that the voltages are correct.
Go to Mains Line currents screen pull one by one the yellow tongues that short circuit the terminals of the mains CTs. Verify that the
measured currents are correct.
Go to Caps line currents screen and verify that all currents are zero (if not there is probably shorted SCR).
Go to Mains KW phase meters and check if all phases are positive (except in the case of generators compensation) if they are not positive
the CTs polarity will have to be changed in the site installation. Test by software means, and if resolve the problem go back and do the
wired correction. In general each phase hast the approx. value.
After checking the group, turn off the system, wait at least 10 minutes, take out power
fuses from the group and install the right fuses for the following group.
System Commissioning #3
See the User Manual for further information.
1) If the first group was successfully verified, perform a System Test, if not,
return to set the configuration.
2) After checking the group, turn off the system, wait at least 10 minutes, take out
power fuses from the group and install the right fuses for the following group.
Turn on again the system and repeat the process for all the groups.
When the last group was tested, turn off the system, wait at least 10 minutes and
install all the power fuses.
System Commissioning #4
See the User Manual for further information.
If the system test show all groups OK, continue, otherwise, go to the
troubleshooting chapter in the appropriate part of the User Manual if the help in
the following pages is not enough to resolve the problem.
Make the L C M Test, if it is OK, the system can be tested in Automatic mode,
otherwise check in the User Manual to resolve the measurement issue if the help
in the following pages is not resolving the problem.
