MCAALTERNATE CURRENT LIMIT” FEATURE
Description
The MCA Alternate Current Limit feature provides the means to automatically change the
current limit operation of power system’s rectifiers (PCUs) when an external
event/condition occurs.
Operating Modes
Normal Current Limit Operation
When the signal connected to the “Alternate Current Limit Input” is inactive, the system’s
PCUs current limiting feature operates at the value based on the “PCU Current Limit”
parameter setting.
Alternate Current Limit Operation
When the signal connected to the “Alternate Current Limit Input” is active, the system’s
PCUs current limiting feature operates at the value based on the “Alternate Current Limit
Capacity” parameter setting.
Requirements and Conditions
The system must have an MCA I/O circuit card installed.
Binary input #4 must be connected to a signal that will indicate to the MCA to place the
rectifiers into the “Alternate Current Limit” mode.
Programming the MCA Alternate Current Limit Feature
When the Alternate Current Limit is first enabled, the “Alternate Current Limit Capacity”
parameter defaults to a value of 100% of available capacity.
Note: The “Alternate Current Limit” feature is not compatible with the Power Share
feature. If Power Share is programmed ON, then “Turn Off Power Share” is
displayed in the Alternate Current Limit menu.
Note: The PCU current limit menu item setting is ignored when Alternate Current Limit is
enabled AND the Alternate Current Limit Input is active. When this occurs, the
message “ALT. LIMIT” is displayed in the PCU Current Limit menu.
