Abstract:
The present application discloses an integrated direct current (DC) subsystem monitoring system for monitoring and reporting status of a utility substation, the DC subsystem monitoring system having the ability to actively monitor and report on changes in the float current and current capacity of the system, as well as to monitor for ground faults.

Claim (Index 10):
A method of performing a float current test on a bank of batteries comprising at least one battery, the battery bank being part of a load circuit in which the battery bank, a charger, and a system load are arranged in parallel, the method comprising:\n (a) determining if all of a set of test start conditions are met; and (b) initiating a float current test when all of a set of test start conditions are determined to be met, the float current test comprising:\n (i) starting a timer; \n (ii) recording a battery start voltage when the timer reaches a first predetermined time period has elapsed; \n (iii) disconnecting the battery bank from the charger by opening a main contactor, enabling a float current circuit, and changing a location of a remote voltage sense from a first location to a second location when a second predetermined time period has elapsed, the first location being between the main contactor and the charger and the second location being between the main contactor and the battery bank; \n (iv) determining if record conditions are met; \n (v) measuring and storing a float current value for the battery bank if the record conditions are determined to have been met in step (iv); and \n (vi) repeating steps (iv) and (v) until a predetermined number of float current values are recorded; and \n (viii) providing a constant voltage to the battery bank during the performance of step (b).
