6 Procedure for Battery Acceptance/Performance Discharge Testing
6.1 General
The procedure described below is based on IEEE1188:2005:

Set up the necessary instrumentation with the provision for the load to be varied to
maintain a constant current as specified in the manufacturer’s data table (Refer to

Appendix A for an example) or a constant power discharge equal to the rating of the battery
for the selected time. The batteries should be left to charge for a minimum of 48 hours
before the test is carried out.
Note: a fixed value resistor is not an acceptable form of constant current load.
6.2 Initial check-up (prior to the discharge test)
 Measure the voltage and impedance of each monoblock. Record the initial battery
temperature. Record the value under Vector’s ‘Zone Substation DC System Setup
Records’ (Appendix B)
 Connect the test set to the test terminal for the battery. If there are two battery strings
at the substation, then each string will have its own test terminal (generally located
inside the charger panel). The discharge should be carried out string by string
 Switch on the ‘test terminal MCB’ for the to-be-tested string from the charger panel
 Adjust the test set to make sure a constant discharge current is selected and the
discharge time is set at one hour. (Consult with Vector if unsure of the discharge current
value).
 Set the minimum voltage limit to avoid over discharge of the battery. The minimum
voltage should be calculated based on the manufacturer’s specification (refer to
Appendix A )
6.3 Start the test
 Disconnect the battery from the charging source. (Note 1: If there are two battery
strings, then each string will have its own MCB to isolate the battery from the charger,
make sure the correct MCB is selected Note 2: If Charger Controller or/and Battery
Monitor are required as part of the discharge event, please ensure the device are not
disconnected during the test)
 Measure the voltage of each monoblock and record it under ‘Voltage off charge’. (Refer
to Appendix B)
 Start the test set and discharge the batteries
 Refer to the Zone substation DC system Setup Records and fill in the section under
‘Voltage after discharge’.
6.4 Important considerations
 The readings should be taken while the load is applied with a minimum of every 10
minutes.
 Individual monoblock voltage readings should be taken between respective terminals of
like polarity of adjacent cells/units so as to include the voltage drop of the inter-cell
connectors. Due to the wide diversity of VRLA battery terminal connection designs, the
selection of the appropriate voltage probe location must be carefully analysed to ensure
that only the appropriate voltage drops are included.
 The test should be aborted immediately if any individual monoblock falls below the
manufacturer’s specified cell end voltage during the discharge test.
 Observe the battery for abnormal inter-cell/unit connector or terminal heating.
 At the conclusion of the test, determine if the monoblocks have past the discharge test

7 Configuration of the Charger Controller
7.1 General
The Intelepower CX Controller is used to monitor the chargers at Vector substation. The
charger controller monitor the AC supply, rectifier health, load current, earth fault and
other conditions of the DC system. Refer to Cordex Alarm Mapping (Appendix C). As
requested by Vector, the setting for charger controller is pre-loaded by the supplier.
Therefore the only setup required by the Service Provider is to assign the IP address (issued
by Vector) to the charger controller.
7.2 Log in to CXC
Tap on the Icon button at the bottom left corner of the LCD touch screen and select. LOGIN.
Next, enter the password 1234 and tap on ACCEPT.
Figure 1: Log in to CXC

7.3 Assign IP address
Charger controller at the various substation will be allocated a unique IP address, contact
the Protection and Control team to obtain the IP address for a specific substation.
On the main menu, scroll down and tap on COMMUNICATIONS and then tap on IP
ADDRESS. Ensure the checkbox beside OBTAIN AUTOMATICALLY is clear, and enter the
following information:
IP: 172.2x.xx.xxx
Subnet: 255.255.255.xxx
Gateway:172.2x.xx.xxx
Select the √ icon to accept the new setting and return to the previous menu.
7.4 Save and reboot charger controller
 Return to MAIN MENU navigation screen and press the OPTION button to evoke the
SAVE/LOGOUT pop-up window.

 Select SAVE to save the new settings. A pop-up window will appear to confirm the
selection (select the X icon).
 Select the OPTION button again and choose LOGOUT.
 Tap on the Icon button at the bottom left corner of the LCD touch screen and select
RESET.
 To confirm the rest, tap on ACCEPT and then REBOOT NOW.
 Contact Vector to verify the communication is established
7.5 Keep a record
Record the IP address of the charger controller under the ‘Zone Substation DC System
Setup Records’ Refer to Appendix B.
8 Configuration of the Battery Monitoring System
8.1 General
The PowerShield Sentinel unit is used to monitor the battery banks at Vector substations.
The Sentinel unit monitors the voltage (monoblock voltage and string voltage), the current
(string current), the battery temperature (sensor is placed within the monoblocks) and the
impedance (monoblock impedance and string impedance) of the enclosure. If the
monitored parameters exceed preset limits alarms will be activated.
The setting up and configuration procedure will involve several steps:
 Initial check and setup

 Resetting configuration to the default factory setting
 Configuring the system information and saving
 Configuring the monoblocks
 Configuring the strings
 Configuring the current and temperature sensors
 Configure the internal memories
 Configure the alarms
 Configure the XPort device (LAN communication setup)
Note:
During the configuration procedure it is recommended to periodically save the settings to minimise the risk of
losing the configuration changes due to a sudden power loss to the unit.

8.6.5 Saving
Click the Save Configuration Button under systems tab

8.7 Configuring monoblocks
Access the Monoblock screen by clicking the Monoblock button
The Configuration tab of the Monoblock screen displays two grids:
 Monoblock assignment [Left]

 Detected modules [Right] – [Tab labelled master]
Figure 12: Configuring Monoblocks
8.7.1 Detecting modules

 Click Detect (Master)[To detect the measurement modules associated with the Sentinel
monitor]
 A warning message will be displayed indicating the detection procedure will overwrite
the calibration parameters for the detected modules. This message can be disregarded
for the initial measurement module detection process [click Yes to initiate the detection
process].
8.7.2 Assigning monoblocks

The detected measurement modules need to be assigned or ‘mapped’ to its correct
monoblock channel. Refer to the Sentinel Setup Form when this procedure is conducted.
The correct mapping of the monoblocks is essential.
 Drag and drop the detected modules [from the Detected Measurement Modules Grid] to
the associated monoblocks [Monoblock Channel Assignment Grid].
Example: Measurement Module B (MM: B) is physically connected to Monoblocks 2 and 3
(MB 1, MB2) of cabinet A (refer example diagram on Appendix A). Click and drag the MM:
B (on the Detected Measurement Modules Grid) and drop this on MB 2 (on the Monoblock

Channel Assignment Grid). The dual measurement modules will be automatically assigned
to two adjacent monoblocks, therefore care must be taken to assign these to the correct
pair of monoblocks. One monoblock will be tagged V1 (to indicate the most positive of the
pair) and the other will be tagged V2 (to indicate the most negative of the pair). This
assignment can be swapped by right clicking the assigned grid cell and selecting the Swap
button. The correct implementation of this configuration procedure can be verified by
comparing the Total Modules Online figure with the Total Mapped Monoblocks.
