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 8):
An apparatus for testing a battery bank 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 apparatus comprising:\n a controller; a main contactor located on a first leg of the load circuit between the battery bank and the charger, so that the battery bank is electrically disconnected from the charger when the main contactor is open and the battery bank is electrically connected to the charger when he main contactor is closed, the first leg of the load circuit having a battery side extending between the main contactor and the battery bank and a system load; a float current test circuit arranged in parallel with the main contactor, the float current test circuit comprising a shunt, a float current contactor, and a fuse arranged in series; a first voltage sensor having a first connection point that is in electrical contact with the first leg; and a fail-safe circuit having first and second ends electrically connected to the first leg and arranged in parallel with the main contactor, the fail-safe circuit having an active mode in which electrical current can flow in at least one direction through the fail-safe circuit and an inactive mode in which the fail-safe circuit is open, which prevents electrical current from flowing in either direction through the fail-safe circuit; wherein the controller is electrically connected to the main contactor, the float current contactor, the first fail-safe circuit and the controller is operationally configured to (a) close the float current contactor when the main contactor is open, (b) open the float current contactor when the main contactor is closed, and (c) cause the fail-safe circuit to enter active mode if the controller detects a failure of the main contactor.
