Eclipse 480VAC System Verification Tests

System Integration Test Plan/ Test Report


Rev. 05A

December 12, 2003

Page 1 of 20
Scope and Purpose

This document defines a series of design verification tests to be preformed on the Eclipse power system. This is a general test plan that could
possibly be used for similar systems with some modification. The tests defined herein are for a multi bay power system consisting of N+1
paralleled power conversion units (PCU), load distribution, battery interface, system control and monitoring functions. The tests are intended
to prove compliance at the system level to the specification requirements (CRS and TRS) and applicable industry standards. Due to the
power capacity of a large system, some tests may be difficult and costly to perform as a complete system. In these cases, the rational for an
alternate test configuration is given. Reference should be made to Work Instruction WI-557-600, Generic Design Verification Test Planning,
for details on the specific tests.

Module Design Verification Testing

The various individual modules or subsystem components that comprise the Eclipse Power System are to be tested and verified separately
before the System Integration testing is performed. This will reduce the complexity of system level testing and provide a more rigorous
verification of an individual modules performance. This may also identify performance issues before the final system tests. See individual
module DVT procedures.

System Setup

Installation documentation
The documentation provided for installation shall be used to install and setup the system. This should include any options and / or
alternate configurations of the system. The correctness and applicability of the documentation shall be verified.

Initial Power Up & Configuration

The procedure provided for initial setup and configuration of the system shall be verified. The instructions shall be clear and understood by
personnel unfamiliar with the how the Eclipse system works but knowledgeable in the industry.

Eclipse Power System Integration Test Plan

The following pages contain the System Integration Test Plan for the Eclipse Power System, and a section that verbalizes the tests.

Appendix 25.5

For this test, we had the Eclipse Power System connected to 2 strings of 1600 A-H Batteries. We also applied a system load of
1,000 Amperes, to allow the batteries to discharge faster than normal, so that the test could be completed in one day.

Procedure

We turned off the AC, generating the AC Fail LED on the MCA, as well as 50 PCU fail Alarms, and an All AC Fail
alarm.

The Battery On Discharge Alarm came on at 51.00VDC, as expected.

The System Voltage is Very Low alarm came on at 47.00VDC as expected.

At 41.00VDC we ended the test by turning the AC back on.

AC Restored

With the AC restored, battery string #1 had a steady state recharge current of 820 amperes.

The total battery recharge current was 1300 amperes, steady state.

All AC alarms cleared, and the DC alarms cleared as the output voltage rose up to the alarm axtinguishing levels.

The output voltage returned to 52.99VDC, with the temperature Compensation at 32 C.

There were no problems with the batteries or Power System after the batteries reached their “fully recharged” state.
