Rectifiers For Stationary Battery Systems in Nuclear Power Plants

1.1 Application Electronically controlled rectifier assemblies are used in conjunction with suitable lead-acid or nickel-cadmium batteries, to provide a protected DC power supply system. These systems are then used to supply power to critical loads in nuclear power plants, both when the mains supply is present, and during power failures. Typical loads are: • Power station equipment • Signalling, control and protective electronics • Telemetering and telecontrol engineering • Telecommunications equipment • Static inverters • AC and DC motors • Solenoid valves The rectifier assemblies used normally...

2. Signalling and Monitoring Devices The power supply units are fitted as standard with electronic monitoring modules. These are integrated into a subrack (Fig.3). If the voltage falls below 1.6 V per cell and the current is 100% of the nominal current, a fault signal is given. The signal is processed on the SME I and in the unit as described in 2.1. However the unit only switches itself back on once acknowledgement has been given on the SME I. 2.1 DÜW III Three-Phase Current Monitoring The DÜW III three-phase current monitoring device has three monitoring functions: • Mains undervoltage (VN...

ling gnal d Si an ing nitor s Mo ice Dev 2.4 GUG III Ripple Monitor The GUG III ripple monitor measures the alternating component of the rectifier units superimposed on the DC voltage. If the residual ripple content exceeds a set value, a signal is given via a yellow LED. The signal is processed by the SME I as already described in 2.2. In rectifier units without reinforcing smoothing, the GUG III can also be used as a battery circuit monitor. In this case the unit tripping and locking function does not apply. 2.5 Fuse Monitoring The fuses connected ahead of the power semiconductors and the auxiliary...

Cons truct ion of Rect ifier s 3.1 External Construction The units are built into a welded steel section framed housing to IP 20 protection standards and are designed with vents at the joints. The side and rear panels can be prepared. For transportation (loading and unloading) the housing is fitted with crane lifting eyes. If desired, casement-type or espagnolette fasteners can be used. At seismic requirements, additional mechanical reinforcements are implemented (see figure 6). The following display and control elements are positioned on the front door of the housing (see Fig. 5). • Unit ON/OFF...
