Wednesday, July 22nd, 2009VRLAB the health status of the detection
Since the last century from 90’s to catch up with China’s telecommunications industry, large input, large output, high-tech, high starting point, as well as the development of appropriate road ahead. According to statistics of China’s 90 years in the telecommunications industry’s average growth of 44% of high-speed development. After more than ten years of development, access to telecommunications has been a relatively stable development period, but is expected to average annual growth rate of 15-20% still. The development of communication operators have access as a major business strategy, so as the access network system dell inspiron 640m battery,dell inspiron 700m battery power to support more and more cause for concern. April 1, 1995, Guangdong Shantou Jinsha electrical fire of Posts and Telecommunications Building, the direct economic loss of 14.979 million yuan; November 26, 1995, Bijie Prefecture, Guizhou Building, Post Office communications major electrical fires, 9.01 million yuan in direct economic losses and indirect economic losses 3.35 million yuan, a 50-hour interruption of communications; September 23, 1997, Zhongyuan Oilfield by missing the entire 110kV electrical substation, at the same time the disappearance of DC power. Carried out later in the battery have been detected by measuring a battery voltage of only 0.4V, resistance to 4600Ω, is the direct cause of the accident. The region’s communications security incidents took place further from the macro, global and economic point of view, from the perspective of ensuring the quality of communications, safety and property safety point of view of the battery system caused a high degree of importance.
Therefore the driving force behind equipment - power system has become particularly important. The quality of communication with the use of power directly affects the security of communication quality, communication facilities and personal safety, ranging from the impact of voice quality, disruption of communication; heavy machine building were destroyed, causing a major accident. Potential safety problems in recent years has exposed the problem, we need to take more effective measures to reverse the passive situation of extreme insecurity. In the power supply system, the most critical is the battery. Therefore, the battery state of health of day-to-day the importance of inspection and maintenance become more prominent.
I. VRLAB (VRLA) inspection and maintenance of a number of errors
The past dozen years, valve-regulated lead-acid battery (VRLA) in many different areas of application quickly. VRLA battery “maintenance free” commitment to the field in the new extension and to replace conventional explosion-proof anti-acid batteries play a decisive role. Valve-regulated lead-acid battery has been put into use, because of its maintenance-free performance, lightweight, easy to install, service life than traditional anti-acid batteries Flameproof the advantages of long and soon in the telecommunications industry and other places of UPS applications has been widely used. But whether it is domestic or foreign, valve-regulated lead-acid batteries in the course of a series of both disappointment and the users do not trust issue. As the so-called maintenance-free, and many departments to reduce the application of VRLA batteries of the battery maintenance and energy, but also for the maintenance of such a battery is often a lack of trained personnel. Reduce maintenance does not mean, however does not require maintenance, therefore, VRLA battery failure occurs instead of the type and frequency was significantly higher than traditional batteries. Traditional battery failure is the most basic positive plate corrosion caused by the loss of cathode active material. The VRLA battery has generated a lot of failure, such as grid corrosion and growth, even very prominent column cover from the battery leak caused by acid fog; excessive water loss as a result of the battery, or even dry up a series of performance caused by the problem of deterioration, such as resistance increased, thermal runaway, etc.; battery performance uneven failure in advance of individual batteries and the lack of performance monitoring and detection tools and so on. These defects have been caused by the battery at home and abroad, the use of sector VRLAB and fear of criticism.
In order to solve VRLAB emerged in the use of a variety of issues, domestic and foreign users and industry experts and scholars have carried out extensive research to improve, to make some VRLA dell inspiron 710m battery,dell inspiron 8500 battery testing and maintenance methods.
Second, traditional methods of battery capacity test
VRLA battery with the traditional anti-acid batteries Flameproof different, measuring the proportion of the electrolyte is not possible, at the same time measurement of single battery float voltage and can not correctly judge the health of the battery. Therefore, the users leave the load-discharge capacity test methods to understand the work of the state of the battery. Early adopters of capacity off-line testing method, this method should be out of the battery from the system down, connected to electric wires as a fake load, by adjusting the electric wire, so that battery to rated current of the wire electric discharge, at the same time every multimeter a certain period of time the battery terminal voltage measurement up to a monomer of which reached the provisions of the terminal voltage when the termination voltage to stop the discharge, the discharge time and discharge current is the product of the actual battery capacity. Such detection methods of measuring battery capacity value is accurate, able to clearly determine whether the battery cell failure. However, this method a number of serious shortcomings in the following:
Need to steer away from the battery system, once the test during the sudden interruption of electricity, another group of cells can lead to a separate machine oil generation? Increase the risk of paralysis of communication systems.
Cumbersome than handling the needs of electric wire, and at least one measurement of a person record data. Maintenance personnel to increase the workload and work intensity.
Individual battery terminal voltage may be measured in the interval between two cut-off voltage suddenly dropped, resulting in over-discharge.
Enormous workload test, it would be difficult to promote.
The whole group to spend 20 hours battery charge, and sometimes have to be off-line rectifier, and too easily give rise to some rechargeable batteries.
A lot of wasted electricity, giving off heat discharge significantly undermine the maintenance of staff’s working environment.
As a result of these shortcomings, the industry has also raised the capacity of online testing methods. This need not be the capacity of test battery from the system, as long as the closure of rectifiers, battery pack to allow the direct discharge of the system, while measuring the battery with multimeter monomer changes in terminal voltage. This method of capacity off-line test is relatively easy, simple and saves a lot of energy. However, this method also, there are many issues, such as: heavy equipment, the high costs (the need for special test equipment and training related to the test), there is also the process of manual measurement of certain cells of the possibility of over-discharge .
So look for an alternative to regular VRLA battery discharge test of the new method of health has become an inevitable trend.
Third, inspection and maintenance of the new breakthroughs in battery - conductance capacity test
MOTOROLA companies the United States first proposed the theory of electrical conductivity and technical basis for the theory of conductance testing technology to replace conventional capacity of the load test. Midtronics U.S. companies use the technology, designed to provide fast, safe, simple test methods to help users determine the battery status meter. Users only need to know the battery label capacity, the conductance through the test battery, we can determine the status of the battery, the test results as a battery or replace the need to pay attention to the basis.
Conductance is the ability of current conduction, conductance in the performance of battery plate for the conduction current of the battery capacity, battery plate directly reflects the state of chemical reactions, the high and low conductivity value may reflect the health status of the battery. 1992 International Telecommunications Energy Conference Papers, “Conductance and capacity of relevant research” that the principle of the use of conductance through a large number of different types, capacity, voltage, and different modes of VRLA battery connection, the use of electrical conductivity tester of capacity to carry out capacity testing. Test results show that the conductance value and the actual battery capacity, state of health showed a good linear relationship with high correlation (0.8 ~ 0.98).
The definition of IEEE standard 1118-1996: the capacity of the battery conductance measurement is known frequency and amplitude of the AC voltage at the two ends of the battery is added, and then measuring the current generated. Conductance value of the exchange with the AC voltage with the phase of the AC current component and AC voltage ratio. Significant changes in conductivity value (down more than 20%) on the mean changes in battery performance.
Such testing has been the International Telecommunications Conference and a large number of power the world’s leading communications companies to adopt, such as: British Telecom, France Telecom, Time Warner Telecom, BellSouth in Atlanta, the United States, such as NEXTEL, currently there are already large quantities of Applications, IEEE the product as dell inspiron 640m battery,dell inspiron 700m battery to maintain the equipment necessary to recommend to the user.
At present, the maintenance of the field of communication power supply capacity of the conductivity tester Midtronics mainly produced by the United States-based series, the conductivity test the capacity of the main products have the following characteristics:
