Section 9 Control principle
The BR6000-T6R6 features 6 transistor outputs for the dynamic (fast switching)
components and 6 relay outputs for the conventional capacitor steps switched via
capacitor contactor.
If needed (target cos-phi not yet achieved) always the dynamic steps will be switched in
to compensate the very fast changing loads.
In case the dynamic steps are switched in for a longer time, they transfer their load to the
conventional capacitor outputs switched by relay. This happens with respect to the pre-
set on- and off switching times of the relay section.
By transferring the loads the steps switched by transistors are free for the dynamic
compensation.
The advantage of a mixed-dynamic compensation is the combination of a dynamic
section (fast compensation of dynamic loads) and a conventional section of the system
(for the ground load resp. for slow changing loads) in a single PFC system. By this
combination a significantly better economic solution is achieved than compared to a
purely dynamic system.
The control response of the BR6000 can be selected in programming mode. In principle,
the controller has four different control modes:
1. Sequential connection
In sequential connection, the required capacitor stages are successively connected
and disconnected in stages (last in - first out). The ranking of each step always
corresponds to the power of the smallest stage.
Advantage: Exact definition of the next capacitor to be connected in each case
Disadvantage: Long settling time, high switching frequency of the small stages
In order to shorten the settling time, the BR6000 switches several stages
simultaneously for a large power-factor requirement. This applies to all
control types. The maximum dimensions of the simultaneously switching
branches can be changed in expert mode. If the value of the smallest stage
is pre-selected, the conventional sequential connectionis obtained.
2. Loopconnection
In this variant, the controller operates in loop mode (first in - first out) which
minimizes the wear on the capacitor bank, i.e. where stages are of equivalent
dimensions, the stage which was disconnected for the longest period of time is
always connected next.
Advantage: Balanced utilization of equivalent stages and thus an increased
operating life of the capacitor bank.
3. Intelligent loopconnection(default setting)
The intelligent control principle combines the advantages of the network-sparing
loop connection (first in - first out) with a much faster settling time, even for large
load skips, and reaches this goal with the fewest possible switching operations of the
capacitor stages. The optimized time response is achieved by the simultaneous
switching of several or larger capacitor groups as a function of the missing power
factor in the power line. Both the number of real switching frequencies of the
capacitors as well as the turn-on times of the branches are considered.
Advantage: Reaches the target cos phi in a fast-optimized settling time with a low
switching frequency of the capacitors.

Section 10 Interface (option)
The BR6000... is equipped with an RS 232 or RS 485 interface as an option.
It can be used to implement the following functions:
Connection of a remote display (system accessories) for clear read-out of all
measurements on large seven-segment triple displays
Selection of MODBUS (see Annex 4) or ASCII (see table below) for permanent
display of grid parameters in ASCII format ). Any ASCII editor can be used.
NEW: Using with MMI6000 e.g. for measurement of inherent current of capacitor bank
The following data are permanently displayed and refreshed via ASCII (ASCII Protocol):
Voltage e.g. "230 V
Current e.g. " 85 A
Power factor e.g. "-0.98 means: CAP
Reactive power e.g. "100 kvar
Active power e.g. "100 kW
Apparent power e.g. "100 kVA
Outputs e.g. "XXX-------- means: 3 steps active
Section 11 Initial operation
The controller must have been installed before being set up and operated.
All network-specific parameters are fully programmed as described in section 5
(Programming) by being entered in sequence and stored. The controller is then set to
automatic operation with the operating mode key. It is now ready for operation.
Section12 Maintenance and warranty
The BR6000 should need no maintenance if the operating conditions are observed.
However, it is recommended that a functional check of the controller be performed in
conjunction with the regular checking of the capacitor bank. In the event of any
interventions in the controller during the warranty period, all warranty claims lapse.

Annex 3: Capacitor current monitoring using MMI6000
Application
For permanent current monitoring inside the compensation system the MMI6000 is recommended as
an accessory for the BR6000. This measuring device is able to determine the sum current of the
complete PFC systemas well as the current of single capacitor branches.
By monitoring the current of the installed capacitors, extraordinary grid conditions (e.g. harmonic
currents which may cause an overload of capacitors) can be identified. In such a case, the power factor
controller switches off the relevant compensation stages as long as the extraordinary situation
continues. Monitoring of the capacitor current also means monitoring of the capacitor condition
(damages, aging .) and thus gives the opportunity to avoid consequential damages.
The MMI6000 will improve the reliability and safety of a PFC-system.
Methodof operation:
The MMI6000 measures the sumcurrent inside the PFC system. For this a current transformer has to be
installed at the power input of the compensation system. During each switching operation, the actual
current change is measured and compared to the rated current of the switched capacitor(s). In
between the switching operations the current of the complete systemis monitored.
If the measured current of a step is too low (default 60%), this step is switched off. The relay is
deactivated and the BR6000 display shows "E (error) for this step. The alarm relay is activated. A
reactivation of the step is possible in manual mode.
In case the current of a step is too high (default 130%), this step is also switched off. The BR6000
display shows an inverted capacitor symbol. The current is further on checked periodically is the rated
current reached again, the step is reactivated.
Is the sum current of the complete PFC system too high (default 130%), stages are switched off one
after another and alarm relay is set. Periodical measurements are performed to check whether the
current reaches the nominal value again. If so, the step is reactivated.
Settings MMI6000: Settings BR6000-T6R6: (ExpertMode)

CAUTION:
- For the bus-connection a shielded cable has to be used!
- Bus-connections (in and out) have always to be made directly to the relevant device!
- The terminating resistors inside the connected devices have to be activated (DIP-switch ON).
- Smallest switching time in this mode is 80 ms !
