2.02L-828 / L-829 PRO POWER ESSENTIAL CONSTANT CURRENT REGULATOR
A.REGULATOR
- The CCR shall use a Ferroresonant design that produces minimal EMI, high efficiency and near unity power factor for AC 150/5345-10 test conditions.
- The CCR shall exceed the EMI testing requirements specified in FAA AC 150/5345-10 (current edition).
- The CCR shall be 6.6 Amps
- The CCR shall supply{4kW, 7.5kW, 10kW, 15kW, 20kW, 30kW}
- The CCR shall supply an input voltage of {208V, 220V, 240V, 347V, 480V}
- The CCR shall supply 60Hz.
- The CCR shall supply {one, three, five} brightness output levels to power the airfield lighting circuit.
- Output current levels shall be maintained within ±1% at any intensity step.
- Output current levels shall be maintained even with 30% open isolation transformer secondary’s.
- If input power loss occurs, operation shall resume within five seconds after restoration of input power.
- The input power factor shall be 0.99 minimum for 4kW to 30kW CCRs.
- The efficiency shall be 95% minimum for 4kW to 30kW CCRs.
- It shall be possible to directly stack two equal 15kW – 30kW CCRs.
- It shall be possible to directly stack three equal 4kW – 10kW CCRs.
- It shall be possible to stack different combinations of CCRs assuming the larger CCR is on the bottom
- The height of the CCR shall be 40 inches maximum to allow controls on top of a stacked regulator to be easily reached.
- A single control board shall be used for all versions of the Pro Power Essential CCR to make troubleshooting easier and to minimize spare parts.
- The CCR shall have output current surge limitation designed so that switching the equipment on and off, changing brightness steps, or opening/shorting the output will not produce current surges that will damage the CCR or any equipment connected to its output.
- The CCR shall include overcurrent and open-circuit protection.
- To improve safety, no high voltage shall be present inside the front door area.
- Arresters of the proper rating to protect the CCR from lightning must be installed at both the input and output terminals of the CCR.
- An integral CCR output S1cutout shall be installed inside of the regulator.
- An integral CCR circuit breaker shall be installed inside of the regulator and accessible with the regulator door closed.
2.03L-829 Control and monitoring
- Each CCR shall have an integrated control and monitoring package
- The CCR shall be equipped with a front-mounted output current digital indicator with an accuracy of 2 percent.
- The CCR shall perform all FAA L-829 monitoring functions including:
a.Measurement of True RMS CCR
b.Output current
c.Output voltage
d.Detection of lamps-out
e.Loss of input power
f.Incorrect current
g.Overcurrent
h.Open-circuit.
- The front panel digital display shall also be capable of displaying CCR output wattage and VA.
- The front panel digital display shall be capable of alternately showing all monitored parameters.
PART 3EXECUTION
3.01FACTORY TESTING
A.Standard factory tests shall be performed on the equipment under this section. All tests shall be in accordance with the latest version of FAA standards.
3.02INSTALLATION
A.The Contractors shall install all equipment per the manufacturer’s recommendations and the contract drawings.
3.03FIELD SETTINGS
A.The Contractor shall perform field adjustments of the constant current regulator as required to place the equipment in final operating condition. The settings shall be in accordance with the approved manufacturer settings or as directed by the Engineer.
B.The CCR shall be calibrated according to the manufacturer's instructions using a True RMS meter.
C.An open-circuit test, conducted according to the manufacturer's instructions, shall also be performed.
The CCR shall then be fully tested by continuous operation for not less than 24 hours prior to acceptance. The test shall include operating the constant current regulator in each step (Local and Remote) not less than 10 times at the beginning and end of the 24-hour test.
