Hardware variants
EPack is fully configurable/upgradable except :
- The mechanics (32A, 63A, 100A or 125A)
- The voltage of the auxiliary voltage
(24V AC/DC or 100-500V AC)
These options require a different build of the
product and can’t be changed in the field.

Supplies
The product is equipped with two supplies :
o Power > thyristor
o Auxiliary > comms and display
Why?
 We cannot use power voltage for configuration
 Potential at the output of the product at 0% of setpoint => Safety
issues
To run comms even in case of power fault
 Can provide diagnostics in every condition
To be able to configure the product without dangerous voltage
 Configuration can be made with presence of 24V only

Firing modes
All firing modes are available in standard
Burst modes
 Fixed burst (100 periods by default, adjustable from 25 to 1000)
 Variable burst (16 periods by default, adjustable from 1 to 100)
 Intelligent half cycle
Phase angle
Progressive start-up (phase angle ramp)
Delay triggering (First firing delay)
Switch phase angle/ burst

Control modes
EPack is able to deliver the power based on the following controls
V² control
 Suitable for pure resistive loads (constant resistance)
V² control with current limit (V2CL)
 Suitable for primaries of transformers with pure resistive loads
I² control
 Suitable for HTCL loads / bushing
True Power control
 Suitable whose resistance changes according to age or temperature
(TTDL)

Zero conf protocol
What is it?
 Zero configuration networking (zeroconf) is a set of techniques that
automatically creates a usable Internet Protocol (IP) network without
manual operator intervention or special configuration servers
How does it work?
 It allocates dynamically the IP addresses to the slaves if no address is
affected by DHCP server (Auto-IP)
What does it result in?
 A plug a play Ethernet connection!

Fuse options
No internal fuse
Fusing methods depends on the option
Without fuse
 for loads generating high surge current (typically SWIR)
 Requires protection against overloads and short circuit
High speed fuse
 Protect thyristor against short circuit
 Requires additional line protection
