termination
IUIa
Charge Profile with constant current, then constant voltage, then constant current
control and automatic termination
IUUa
Charge Profile with constant current, then constant voltage, then constant voltage
control and automatic termination
LED Light emitting diode, a solid state light source that does not wear out
micro controller Computer in a single chip
MMPC Modular Motive Power Charger
motive
Battery application used in moving plant and being regularly used and then
recharged by connecting to a battery charger
MP130 – MP330 3kW Motive charger modules
MPC Motive Power Controller, 35/37
NET Framework
Microsoft Library of pre coded solutions required for the MMPC Interface software
to run
neutral The fifth wire in a three phase plug
PCB Printed circuit board used to mount and connect together electronic components
phase
Identification of the 3 lines of electrical power that make a 3phase supply, referred
to as A,B,C or 1,2,3
Power factor
A measure of the effectiveness of an electrical device to convert volt-amperes to
watts, PF=1 is best
charger module
The core module that converts AC power into DC power suitable for charging a
battery
profile_template.txt
Text file that contains all the profile templates for the different voltage, time etc
parameters of the charge profiles
profile_types.txt Text file that contains the default profile types, IUIa, IUUa etc
rectifier Another name for the charger module
reserve
Battery application where the batteries are generally on float charge, only being
discharged during AC power outages
reversed battery
Battery/charger must be connected positive/positive and negative/negative,
reversed connection will blow the fuses
RJ45
8 pin modular connector used for the control cabling between the MPC31 controller
and the backplane
SB350 350A Anderson Power connector type SB
SOC State of charge, measure of the battery charge condition, 100% is fully charged
software
PC application that is installed on a host computer to communicate with the MPC
controller
sq mm or mm²
Measure of the cross sectional area of an electrical cable, large enough to carry the
required current without overheating
sulphated
Battery plates have built up a hard sulphate layer which prevents the battery
charging and discharging properly
switched mode
Power conversion process using rapid turning on and off of a regulating device to
achieve high efficiency and small size
temp comp
Temperature compensation where the charging voltage is adjusted for the ambient
temperature operating conditions
termination When the charge cycle completes
timeout Timer used to protect against abnormal conditions
txt text file format
urgent alarm
Alarms that stops a charge from completing, battery may not be charged, battery
cannot be used
