7.2.5 Key points for inspecting the regulator
• Check that the regulator does not show signs of deterioration and the display is lit as normal.
• Inspect the cables and terminals. They should be clean and should not be hardened or
overheated.
• Inspect the connections and the insertion of removable terminal strips:
- The terminal strips must be well fastened on removable regulators.
- Check that the terminals are tightened properly. The recommended torque is 0.6 Nm.
7.2.8 Cleaning the cabinet.
• Remove possible metallic and non-metallic particles.
• Clean the inside of the cabinet
• Clean ventilation grilles
7.3 Maintenance with the battery connected.
• Check that the mains switch connects and disconnects, without having to force the mechanism
• If there is an individual earth leakage protection for the bank, check its proper operation by
pressing the test button.
• Check that the auxiliary control voltage is within the tolerance limits. If the bank has an
autotransformer, check it is in good condition and does not show signs of deterioration.
• Force the connection and disconnection of the capacitors in manual mode.(refer to the
regulator manual before carrying out this action) and perform the following checks:
- Check that the contactors connect and disconnect properly.
- Check that the contactor, once connected, does not rattle or vibrate.
- Check the capacitor consumption in each of the phases. The normal values are provided
in table 7-4
