6.3.1 Measurement Cal - AC
AC Volt Full-scale: Turn OFF the ALC mode first from the CONTROL menu.
Program the output voltage to maximum voltage on the high
voltage range and 400 Hz. Close the output relay. Go to the
MEASUREMENT CALIBRATION screen. Enter the actual AC
output voltage for the MVOLT FS parameter and press the
ENTER key. Save this value by pressing the ENTER key.
AC Current Full-scale: Turn OFF the ALC mode from the CONTROL menu if it is on
REG or ON setting. Calibrate the measurement current under a
constant current condition or a voltage fault may be generated.
Apply a load to the output. Program the output to 80% of full-
scale voltage range on the low voltage range and 400 Hz.
Observe the actual output current and enter this value for the
MCURR FS parameter. Press the ENTER key. Save this value
by pressing the ENTER key.
6.3.2 Single and Three Phase Modes
As indicated earlier, for 3-Phase power system, repeat the preceding steps for the Phase B and
C outputs. The order in which the outputs for each phase are calibrated is not important.
Press the PHASE key to select each output to be calibrated. Monitor the output of the respective
phase by moving the HI input of the Digital Multimeter and the current shunt as needed. The LO
input should remain connected to the common LO of the sense connector.
The current measurement calibration for Phase A (ø1) should be done in both single and three
phase modes as separate calibration coefficients apply to each phase mode. Voltage
measurement calibration for phase A (ø1) can be done in either phase mode.
6.4 Output Calibration
The output calibration is performed automatically when the measurement calibration takes place.
As such, there is no need to perform this calibration again. The output calibration coefficients
may be viewed by selecting the OUTPUT CAL screen.
Output gain is set at the factory and the output calibration coefficients are pre-set. They is no
need to change the factory default settings unless any of the following conditions occurs:
1. Replacement of one or more amplifiers as a result of a service action.
2. Replacement of the current limit board. (CI P/N 7004-703-1)
3. Replacement of the controller board. (CI P/N 7004-708-1)
If the output gains are found to be out of tolerance, they need to be adjusted. This requires
removal of the top cover and should only be done by qualified service personnel. In that case,
refer to the non-routine gain calibration section.
The factory output calibration coefficients are shown in the table below.
