Description
Displays up to 55 characters entered for the Site Description.
Primary Bus
Displays the values of the system rectifier DC output bus voltage and
output current (value to the load). The bus voltage is measure directly
by the Pulsar Edge. The load current displayed depends on the system
configuration and is either a calculated value, a value determined by
remote monitoring modules, or measured directly by the shunt monitor
on-board the Pulsar Edge.
Note: the shunt must be mounted in the grounded side of the system’s
DC bus. Possible damage may occur if the shunt is connected
incorrectly.
Secondary Bus
Displays the values of the system converter DC output bus voltage and
output current (value to the load). The bus voltage is measure directly
by the Pulsar Edge. The load current displayed depends on the system
configuration and is obtained by summing up the output values of the
individual converters.
State
Provides the present operating mode of the system. (Float, Boost)
Plant Type
Indicates the generic voltage classification of the power system: -48V,
+24V, +48V, etc.
