136

=== Voltage unbalance ===

137

138

Before closing the contactors for charging and discharging battery modules, the BMS Main X device detects those modules whose voltage is significantly different from the rest. For unbalanced modules, errors "Voltage unbalance (CH)" (charge circuit) and "Voltage unbalance (DCH)" (discharge circuit) are generated.

139

140

Protection against voltage unbalance of battery modules is configured in the section "Protections - Voltage unbalance":

141

142

[[image:1734356793449-249.png||data-xwiki-image-style-alignment="center" data-xwiki-image-style-border="true" height="75" width="600"]]

In this section:

* Enable – a flag to enable the protection;

147

* Delta voltage – maximum allowable voltage difference of battery modules, V;

148

* Delay before setting the error;

149

* Delay before clearing the error;

150

* Lock – a flag to block the error until the device is restarted.

151

152

As a result of the operation of the voltage unbalance protection the errors “Voltage unbalance (CH)” and “Voltage unbalance (DCH)” are generated. Conditions for generating the error:

153

154

* battery module is not included in the largest group of modules whose voltages differ from each other by no more than "Delta voltage" during the "Delay before setting the error" time.

155

156

Conditions for clearing the error:

157

158

* battery module is in the largest group of balanced modules during the "Delay before clearing the error" time.

159

160

If there is the error "Voltage unbalance (CH)" ("Voltage unbalance (DCH)"), the charging (discharging) contactor of the battery module opens.

161

162

=== Current unbalance ===

163

164

When battery modules are connected in parallel, the most charged modules transfer charge to the least charged modules. The process of charge transfer is accompanied by the flow of balancing currents. The BMS Main X device detects modules with high balancing currents and generates “Current unbalance (CH)” (charge circuit) and “Current unbalance (DCH)” (discharge circuit) errors for them.

165

166

Protection against current unbalance of battery modules is configured in the section "Protections - Current unbalance":

167

168

[[image:1734356793451-440.png||data-xwiki-image-style-alignment="center" data-xwiki-image-style-border="true" height="77" width="600"]]

* Enable – a flag to enable the protection;

173

174

* Delay before setting the error;

175

* Delay before clearing the error;

176

* Lock – a flag to block the error until the device is restarted.

177

178

As a result of the operation of the current unbalance protection the errors “Current unbalance (CH)” and “Current unbalance (DCH)” are generated. Conditions for generating the error:

179

180

* current of the battery module is greater than the "Maximum current" value during the "Delay before setting the error" time.

181

182

Conditions for clearing the error:

183

184

* current of the battery module is less than the "Maximum current" value during the "Delay before clearing the error" time.

185

186

If there is the error "Current unbalance (CH)" ("Current unbalance (DCH)"), the charging (discharging) contactor of the battery module opens.

187

188

=== Charging current unbalance ===

189

190

During battery charging, the currents of the battery modules may vary. The BMS Main X device detects modules whose charging currents are significantly different from the currents of other modules and generates the “Charging current unbalance” errors for them.

191

192

Protection against different charge currents is configured in the "Protections – Charging current unbalance" section:

193

194

210

* battery module is included in the largest group of modules with similar charge currents during the “Delay before clearing the error” time.

211

212

If there is the “Charging current unbalance” error, the battery module charging contactor opens.

213

214

=== Discharging current unbalance ===

215

216

During battery discharging, the currents of the battery modules may vary. The BMS Main X device detects modules whose discharging currents are significantly different from the currents of other modules and generates the “Discharging current unbalance” errors for them.
